Dear microhydro members... I'm thinking to purchase a well made used pelton turbine from somebody who never installed it. Obviously, the problem is that the machine was designed for another head/flow parameters different than mine.
Machine data: Runner diameter - 450mm (measured at the middle of the buckets) Max buckets wide - 120mm Jet diameter - 45mm New site data: Gross head - 106m Existing pipe - 150mm diameter PVC / 360m Summer flow - 15 L/s Winter flow - 30 L/s My questions are... 1) Can I use it for my site with a reasonable efficience only reducing the jet size? 2) If no, which are the reasons? 3) If yes, which should be the new optimal jet diameter? 4) What may be the efficience lack? 5) What about the resulting RPM ratio at runner shaft? 6) How many electrical watts can I expect? And any others comments will be wellcome... Thanks a lot in advance! __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis!
