摘要 |
There is disclosed an improved hydro turbine assembly (1) that offers high productivity, high operating versatility and minimal and/or no cavitation for an improved efficiency. The present invention proposes a new hydro turbine assembly having substantially higher energy conversion process as well as versatile range of capability from low to high head applications. The hydro turbine assembly (1) comprises of at least an inlet connection (2), an inboard casing (3) and an outboard casing (4) and a turbine runner (6) arranged internally toward the end of the inlet connection (2), the turbine runner (6) is mechanically connected to a turbine shaft (7) arranged with means to generate mechanical energy by the rotation of the turbine shaft (7); characterized in that the inlet connection (2) and the turbine runner (6) are arranged such that water enters into the turbine in the same axis as of the turbine shaft (7) but from the opposite end and leaves it in a radial direction through the turbine runner (6). The turbine may be installed in a normal or in the open plume configuration.
