Hydropower Pelton Turbine Generator 1MW 2MW 5MW
The Pelton water turbine is an impulse type water turbine, extracting energy from the impulse of the moving water. The water is directed with high speed through nozzles against the buckets, arranged around the circumferential rim of a drive wheel – the runner. The shaft design can be either in horizontal position in combination with one or two nozzles per runner, or in vertical position with up to six nozzles per runner.
Forster has invented various manufacturing methods for Pelton runners - tailor-made to meet the customers’ needs.
