The test rig consists of suitable equipment for performing experiments to measure the steam turbine efficiency, steam quality, and flow rate and condenser effectiveness. The turbine is suited for operation with a 300kg/hour, 10bar saturated steam supply.

1. Steam turbine: The turbine is a single stage impulse turbine with two stainless steel nozzles. The blades are also made of stainless steel to ensure high reliability. The turbine is of vertical split case design to provide easy serviceability.
2. Separating and throttling calorimeter: Consists of well insulated separating and throttling chambers made of MS pipes with suitable piping, valves, thermometer and pressure gauges. A condenser is included to condense the sampled steam and measure its actual mass.
3. Condenser assembly: Consists of a shell and tube type condenser and a 3.0HP monoblock pump set (440Volts, 3 phase, 50Hz) to circulate the cooling water. An orificemeter with pressure gauges and thermometers are fixed in the cooling water pipeline to measure the flow rate and temperature rise. Suitable piping and valves are provided to connect the turbine exhaust to the condenser and atmosphere. The steam flow rate is determined by measuring the condensate.
4. Other accessories: Suitable 25mm piping (not exceeding 3.0m) and control valve to connect the turbine with the calorimeter and to the boiler. Necessary pressure gauge is provided to measure turbine steam inlet conditions. A digital tachometer is provided to monitor the turbine speed.
5. Loading Device: The steam turbine is coupled to a 3000 rpm, 1KW, 220 Volts, generator on a strong base plate. A panel board consisting of ammeter, voltmeter and a row of bulbs is provided.

With a steam flow rate of 300 kg/hour 10 kg/sq.cm saturated conditions, the turbine will produce
