Kaplan Turbine Test Rig Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-HLE-8979
Jlab Export is a leading Kaplan Turbine Test Rig Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Kaplan Turbine Test Rig (code EL-HLE-8979) is a test rig that shows the construction and working of a Kaplan reaction turbine of 5 HP capacity, rated at 1500 rpm on a 7 m supply head with a discharge capacity of 4500 litres per minute. A pressure gauge and an orifice meter measure the input, and a rope brake dynamometer on a 300 mm cast iron drum measures the output. JLab makes this low-head Kaplan rig in Ambala, India.

Axial Flow at Low Head
A Kaplan turbine is an axial-flow reaction machine: after the gun metal guide vanes give the water its swirl, it passes along the shaft through a propeller-type runner. Since power is ρ g Q H, a head as low as 7 m can deliver useful output only with a large discharge, which is why this rig handles 4500 litres per minute.
From Gauge and Orifice Readings to Efficiency
The orifice meter gives the discharge Q from its pressure difference, and the pressure gauge at the inlet gives the supply head H, so the hydraulic input is ρ g Q H. The rope brake gives the shaft torque from the difference in rope tensions times the effective drum radius, and output power is torque times angular speed. Their ratio is the overall efficiency, plotted against speed as the brake load is changed.
