Pelton Turbine

Product Description

Demonstration Pelton Turbine: MTFM-29

This accessory comprises a miniature Pelton wheel with spear-valve arrangement mounted on a support frame, which fits on to the Hydraulics Bench top channel. Mechanical output from the turbine is absorbed using a simple friction dynamo meter. Pressure at the spear valve is indicated on a remote gauge.

A non-contacting tachometer may be used to determine the speed of the Pelton wheel. Basic principles of the Pelton turbine may be demonstrated and, with appropriate measurements, power produced and efficiency may be determined.
