-
-
Water Source Detail: Provide any additional information about your water source that may be relevant.
4. Hydraulic Parameters:
-
Head (m): The vertical distance (in meters) between the water source and the turbine location. This measurement is crucial as it influences the type of turbine suitable for your site.
-
Flow Rate (Liters/Sec): The volume of water available per second. Accurate flow measurements are essential for proper turbine sizing.
5. Pipeline Specifications:
-
Pipeline Diameter (mm): The internal diameter of the pipeline transporting water to the turbine.
-
Pipeline Details (mm): Any additional specifications or details about the pipeline.
-
Pipeline Distance from Input Source (m): The length of the pipeline from the water source to the turbine location.
6. Pressure Details:
-
Inlet Pressure (Bar): The pressure of the water entering the turbine.
-
Outlet Pressure (Bar): The desired pressure of the water exiting the turbine.
7. Power Supply Requirements:
-
Power Supply Needed: Specify your required power output type:
-
Single Phase
-
Three Phase
-
Direct Current (DC)
-
-
Required Voltage (V): The voltage level needed for your application.
8. Additional Information:
-
Notes / Details: Any other relevant information or specific requirements that can assist us in designing the optimal hydro turbine solution for your application.
-
Site Picture Upload: Upload images of your site layout to assist in system design.
-
Location Enter Google URL: Provide a Google Maps link to your site location for reference.
Understanding PAT and Pelton Turbines:
-
Pump-as-Turbine (PAT): PATs are cost-effective solutions that utilize standard pumps operating in reverse to generate power. They are suitable for sites with relatively low head and high flow rates.
-
Pelton Turbines: Pelton turbines are impulse-type turbines ideal for high-head, low-flow scenarios. They operate by directing high-speed water jets onto a series of buckets attached to a wheel, converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy.
