The GUNT Operating Principle of a Pelton Turbine (HM 150.19) demonstrates the function of an impulse turbine. Water is accelerated through a needle nozzle and directed tangentially onto the blades of the Pelton wheel, transmitting the impulse of the water jet to the wheel and converting pressure energy into kinetic energy.
Product Features
- Pelton wheel with needle nozzle as distributor
- Band brake for loading the turbine and torque measurement
- Transparent front panel for observing water flow, wheel, and nozzle
- Adjustable nozzle needle to modify flow rate
- Torque measurement via spring balances
- Rotational speed measurement possible with non-contact sensor (e.g., HM 082)
- Manometer for measuring water pressure at turbine inlet
- Mountable on HM 150 base module with water supply from HM 150 or laboratory supply
Benefits
- Visualises the impulse turbine operating principle clearly
- Allows study of water jet impact and energy conversion
- Enables torque and speed measurements for practical learning
- Hands-on understanding of Pelton turbine operation
