Kaplan turbine – Brake friction bench suitable to simulate a small-scale installation with a Kaplan turbine system, especially designed for educational purposes, for the study and the demonstration of the behavior and the characteristics of a Kaplan turbine. It must be delivered with three (3) propellers with different angles of input and output, which can be exchanged in a fast and simple way.

It must be designed to achieve the following training objectives, where the first three must satisfy the ISO performance curves:

Torque – speed (M-n)

Torque – U (M-U)

Brake power – U (Pe-U)

Brake power – speed (Pe-n)

Performance – speed (η-n)

Performance – U (η-U)

It must be equipped with the following technical data:

Turbine:

Type: Kaplan

Number of blades: 4

Blades angle: manually adjustable

Gauge type: Bourdon with glycerin

Brake type: Friction brake

Guide wheels

Dynamometers: two units, 5 kg x 25 gr.
