<p>The invention provides a hydraulic motor arrangement (10) operable within a pipeline, such as a water supply network. The hydraulic motor arrangement (10) comprise a housing having an inlet (14) and outlet (16) providing a flowpath for water therethrough; a rotor assembly (24) disposed between the inlet (14) and outlet (16), the rotor being drivable by the flow of water along the flowpath; and means for reducing pressure proximate one side of the rotor assembly to facilitate rotation of the rotor assembly (24). The inlet includes a nozzle (22) for directing the water to an operatively lower side of the rotor assembly (24). The means for reducing pressure is provided as a plurality of bypass lines (38) located downstream of the rotor assembly (24) and on a side opposite the nozzle (22). The drive of the rotor assembly (24) may be used to generate electricity or to provide mechanical work for use in e.g. an irrigation system.</p> |
