DESCRIPTION:-
The Pelton turbine has a runner mounted over the main shaft. The runner consists of buckets fitted to the disc.
The buckets have the shape of double ellipsoidal cups. A casting made of Perspex allows visualization of flow
around the buckets. A nozzle fitted in the side casting directs the water jet over the ‘Splitter’ or center ridge of the
buckets. A spear operates inside the nozzle to control the water flow. On the other side of the shaft, a rope brake
is mounted for loading in the turbine.
SPECIFICATION:-
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:-
PRECAUTIONs:-
1) Before putting ‘ON’ the pump must see that the nozzle is closed by the spear and load on the brake
drum is released.
2) Use clean water to fill the tank.
3) Operate all the controls and switches gently.
4) Lubricate the bearings, before the experiment.
5) Drain the water after completion of the experiment.
