Operating Principle of a Pelton Turbine
Response within 1 business day · Global logistics · Tender-ready docs
Water turbines are turbomachines utilising water power. The water jet is redirected by approximately 180 in the blades. The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel. The Pelton turbine is a type of impulse turbine; such turbines convert the pressure energy of water into kinetic energy entirely in the distributor. During the conversion, the water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and directed onto the blades of the Pelton wheel tangentially.
