Technical Description:

• Pelton Wheel Turbine is only impulsed water turbine now in common use named in honour of Sir L. A. Pelton (1829-1908) of California, USA. It is a tangential flow impulse turbine. The water strikes the buckets along the tangent of the runner.The energy available at the inlet of the turbine is only kinetic energy.The pressure at the inlet and outlet of the turbine is atmospheric.This turbine is used for high heads.
• The present set-up consists of a runner. The buckets are mounted on the runner. The water is fed to the turbine, through SS nozzle with an SS spear, by means of Centrifugal Pump, tangentially to the runner. The flow of water into the turbine is regulated by adjusting the spear position by the help of a given hand wheel. The runner is directly mounted on one end of a central SS shaft and another end is connected to a brake arrangement.
• The circular window of the turbine casing is provided with a transparent acrylic sheet for observation of flow onto the buckets.This runner assembly is supported by rigid MS structure. The load is applied to the turbine with the help of this brake dynamometer so that the efficiency of the turbine can be calculated. The pressure gauge is fitted at the inlet of the turbine to measure the total supply head to the turbine.

The present Gear Pump Test Rig is a self-contained unit operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank. The set-up consists of a Gear Pump having a pair of meshed gears, coupled with a swinging frame type DC Motor which permits direct torque measurement with the help of a spring balance. Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor controlled DC Drive to vary the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump. Flow of fluid is measured by using measuring tank and stop watch. Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure
