Description

The in-line propeller type hydropower system has been developed to apply the field of un-used hydro potential of less 1,000 kW. This unit is designed to be compact to enable installation in limited spaces, oil-based lubricant free, low noise and for ease of maintenence.

Features & Advantages

  • High efficiency system by high turbine efficiency and permanent magnet generator
  • Oil-free system by applying water-lubricated bearings
  • Applicable for high head sites by installing two or more units in series
  • The compact system can be easily installed in small spaces, such as areas between existing pipelines that are too small for conventional hydropower systems.
  • No daily maintenance, such as oiling and replacing belts, is required.
  • Fitted with water-lubricated bearings that use only water pressure to support the rotation of the hydroturbine, the system does not require the use of oil and has no adverse effect on water quality.
