Recently, Forster successfully delivered a 200KW Kaplan turbine to South American customers. It is expected that customers can receive the long-awaited turbine in 20 days.
200KW Kaplan turbine generator specifications are as follows
Rated head 8.15 m
Design flow 3.6m3/s
Maximum flow 8.0m3/s
Minimum flow 3.0m3/s
Rated installed capacity 200KW
The customer contacted Forster to design and produce the turbine in February this year. The Foster R&D design team, after fully studying the site of the customer’s hydropower project, the seasonal changes in water head, flow and flow, designed an optimal set of power requirements based on the customer’s local electricity demand. s solution. Foster’s solution successfully passed the local government’s audit and environmental protection assessment, and won the government’s support for the customer.
Advantages of Forster axial turbine
1. High specific speed and good energy characteristics. Therefore, its unit speed and unit flow are higher than that of Francis turbine. Under the same head and output conditions, it can greatly reduce the size of hydraulic turbine generator unit, reduce the weight of unit and save material consumption, so it has high economic benefits.
2. The surface shape and surface roughness of runner blades of axial-flow turbine are easy to meet the requirements in manufacturing. Because the blades of axial flow propeller turbine can rotate, the average efficiency is higher than that of Francis turbine. When the load and head change, the efficiency changes little.
3. The runner blades of axial flow paddle turbine can be disassembled to facilitate manufacturing and transportation.
Therefore, the axial-flow turbine keeps stable in a large operation range, has less vibration, and has high efficiency and output. In the range of low water head, it almost replaces the Francis turbine. In recent decades, it has made great development and wide application in terms of single unit capacity and water head.
