112-4 Hooped Pelton Turbine
Category
Electrical & Mechanical Equipment
Description
The hooped Pelton is an innovative new design based on the seperation of function between buckets and hoops. This runner is composed of separate buckets mechanically attached to a hub consisting of 2 flanges. This is a great advantage for maintenance, with in addition improved mechanical characteristics.
Features & Advantages
- Improved behavior of the runner under operation.
- Controlled and shorter delivery time.
- Minimized risk of cracking during operation due to improved metallurgical quality and dynamic stresses redistribution.
- Reduction of cost of ownership due to less stock (optimization of spare parts stock) and due to possibility to replace few buckets instead of an entire runner.
- Easy maintenance due to removable buckets.
