GUNT Reaction Turbine offers a comprehensive introduction to the working principles of reaction turbines powered by steam or water, using compressed air. It is designed to demonstrate how pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy in pure reaction turbines through a hands-on, observable setup.
Product Features
- Single-stage, pure reaction turbine with horizontal shaft
- Rotor with four outlet nozzles for radial airflow expansion
- Compressed air as the working medium simulating steam or water
- Transparent housing for clear observation of airflow and rotor motion
- Airflow expands and accelerates through nozzles, driving rotor via reaction principle
- Eddy current brake applies adjustable load to the turbine
- Manometers indicate inlet and outlet pressure at the turbine
- Optical sensor measures rotor speed accurately
- Digital display of torque, speed, and temperature measurements
- Air flow rate measured by rotameter and controlled via valve
- Integrated solenoid valve for overspeed protection
Benefits
- Ideal for studying the mechanics of single-stage reaction turbines
- Simulates real-world turbine operation using safe compressed air
- Enables precise measurements of torque, speed, and pressure
- Transparent housing supports visual learning and analysis
