Radial-Flow Reaction Turbine Demonstrator

Technical Description Reaction turbine demonstration unit, designed for operation in conjunction with the Turbine Service Unit. The turbine unit is placed on the Turbine Service Unit and supplied with water by the service unit. The turbine housing is made of Plexiglass so that the emerging water jet that drives rotor using the reaction principle can be observed unhindered. A braking device is fitted to the impeller shaft of the turbine, the braking device is in the form of a band brake using which the load and moment on the turbine shaft can be measured with an electronic dynamometer. A proximity switch measures the rotational speed of the turbine. The following accessories are required for operation: an Interface Module , Data Acquisition Card with Software and Connecting Cables . Using these accessories it is possible to take measurements, and process and store the measurements on a PC.
