Turbine Set: Pelton, Francis, Kaplan Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14202

The Multi-Turbine Apparatus provides an in-depth study and comparison of three major types of water turbines — Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan — representing both impulse and reaction turbine principles.
The system allows investigation of turbine operating behavior, efficiency, and characteristic curves under various flow and load conditions.

Designed for educational and research applications, the unit demonstrates the conversion of water’s pressure and kinetic energy into mechanical power, and illustrates how turbine design affects performance. The setup integrates seamlessly with the Turbine Supply Unit and the Universal Drive and Brake Unit, which enable precise control of speed and torque for realistic testing scenarios.
