Product Code : SCL-CELE-14144
I. Overview and Principle
This apparatus is a small-scale Impulse Turbine unit designed for
experimental study in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics laboratories. Impulse
turbines are widely used for pumping liquids in various applications, including
domestic, industrial, and irrigation systems.
Principle: An impulse turbine operates by converting the
momentum from a high-velocity jet of water impacting the turbine blades into
rotational mechanical power.
II. Apparatus Description
The Impulse Turbine Test Apparatus is a compact unit integrated into a
robust, mobile frame, with all components and instrumentation manufactured from
corrosion-resistant materials. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a
separate service unit for water supply and control.
- Jet
System Water is supplied via an inlet manifold
to four equally spaced jets aimed at the turbine runner. Each jet
can be individually controlled using ball valves.
- Runner The runner is mounted on a horizontal shaft.
- Visibility A clear acrylic splash guard is fitted to allow maximum visibility
of the internal workings and the jet impact.
- Instrumentation The unit incorporates a pressure sensor to measure the
water inlet condition (head). This pressure can be precisely controlled
using the software provided with the companion service unit.
III. Experimental Capabilities
The apparatus allows students to conduct comprehensive tests to
determine the turbine’s performance characteristics:

Comparison Comparison of different control methods,
specifically nozzle control versus throttling control, on
the impulse turbine’s performance.
IV. Optional Enhancement
- Computer-Based
Learning (CBL) Software This
option includes software to help students understand and conduct
experiments, tabulate results, and plot performance graphs.
