About Kaplan Turbine Test Rig

Kaplan Turbine Test Rig:

The present set-up comprises a scroll casing housing a runner. Stationary guides vanes, from where water enters the turbine and passes through the runner axially. Hub and airfoil vanes are mounted on the runner. Use of centrifugal pump is done for feeding the water to the turbine. The runner is mounted on one end of a central stainless steel shaft, while its other end is connected to a brake arrangement. Acrylic made transparent hollow cylinder is fitted in between the draft tube and the casing for flow observation. Rope brake arrangement is used for applying load to the turbine, so that the turbine efficiency can be calculated. The set-up is provided with control panel. A draft tube is fitted on the turbines outlet. To complete the set-up, guide mechanism, pressure and vacuum gauges are fitted at the inlet as well as outlet of the turbine for measuring the total supply head on the turbine.

Precision metering equipment such as digital LCD/LED panels, orifice meters or rotameters, and reliable sensors provide accurate readings with 1% FSD accuracy. Integrated safety devices like motor overload protector and emergency stop contribute to secure, uninterrupted operation during tests.

Versatile Application and Ease of Use

Ideal for fluid mechanics laboratories, this rig supports manual and automatic control for flexible testing. Key features include floor mounting, adjustable guide vanes, and instant display response. Usage is straightforward, making it suitable for academic institutions, manufacturers, and exporters.

FAQs of Kaplan Turbine Test Rig:

Q: How does the Kaplan Turbine Test Rig operate under varying flow and head conditions?

A: The rig uses adjustable guide vanes and inlet valve controls to simulate different flow and head scenarios. The centrifugal monoblock pump and closed-loop water circulation allow users to precisely alter discharge (up to 20 LPS) and head (up to 15 m) for comprehensive testing.

Q: What are the primary benefits of choosing a stainless steel shaft and aluminium alloy runner?

A: A stainless steel shaft offers superior strength and corrosion resistance, while the aluminium alloy runner promotes efficient turbine rotation with reduced wear. Together, they ensure reliable operation and minimal maintenance over prolonged use.

Q: When should the motor overload protector and emergency stop be used?

A: The motor overload protector automatically prevents damage from excessive load during operation, while the emergency stop switch provides immediate shutdown in case of system anomalies or unsafe conditions, safeguarding both the equipment and operator.

Q: Where is the Kaplan Turbine Test Rig best installed for optimal performance?

A: It is designed for floor-mounted installation in laboratories, manufacturing units, or educational institutions with ambient temperatures between 5C and 45C and humidity up to 85% RH. This positioning ensures stable, vibration-free operation and easy accessibility.

Q: What is the measurement accuracy and resolution for pressure and flow readings?

A: The system provides 1% full-scale deflection (FSD) accuracy and a resolution of 0.01 units, ensuring precise digital readings through the built-in LCD/LED panel meters. This level of accuracy supports detailed research and reliable experimentation.

Q: How is water circulation managed within the rig during testing?

A: Water is contained in a 100-liter transparent sump tank and recirculated in a closed-loop system via centrifugal pump, minimizing consumption and allowing repeated tests without the need for frequent water replacement.

Q: What are the key usages and advantages for fluid machines laboratories?

A: This test rig is essential for demonstrating and analyzing turbine performance, efficiency, and control under variable flows and loads. Its robust construction, accurate instrumentation, and safety features make it valuable for academic research and industrial fluid machinery training.
