RIVER HYDRAULIC UNIT ACTUATED WITH RIVER FLOW

摘要

FIELD: power engineering.;SUBSTANCE: river hydraulic unit brought into operation with river flow consists of a load-carrying frame with an action turbine made in the form of an endless conveyor located across the flow and having two shafts enveloped with a flexible towing element with blades installed with the possibility of being turned and fixed, and on the load-carrying frame there located is electric generator kinematically connected to one of shafts of endless conveyor. Hydraulic unit is equipped with an additional flexible towing element enveloping the shafts located along river flow, and with transverse supports connecting flexible towing elements to each other. Blades are installed on the axes fixed on transverse supports. Between endless conveyor's strings there installed is a river flow divider.;EFFECT: increase of total working surface of blades, on which the flowing medium acts, decrease of resistance to movement of blades and increase of power unit output.;2 dwg
