Wrenches,
I have one of my old high head micro-hydro sites that has worked well with a Harris Turbine for many years now needing a rebuilt alternator and a new pelton wheel, or, possibly a new PM turbine. I tried contacting Dennis Ledbetter who gave me a number of years of good service after Don Harris retired. Dennis is now also retired (as am I, except for work in my off-grid neighborhood). Dennis's email bounced over to Jerry Ostermeier at APM Hydro, Grants Pass, OR I have a couple of questions for the group. 1. If I was to go with purchasing a new APM turbine it looks like a Model 1400PM would be a possibility for the 185' net head at 25 GPM site. The APM Hydro web site mentions a pelton runner called DELRIN. Does anybody have any experience with this? 2. Anyone with experience with APM's products and servicers I would appreciate your comments with an email to me at palumbo1...@gmail.com <mailto:palumbo1...@gmail.com> Thanks, David Palumbo Formerly operating as "Independent Power" Hyde Park, VT (802) 888-4917
