Water turbine assembly comprising a turbine and sluices for the production of electrical energy from flowing waters or tides.

摘要

The run-of-river power station consists of a turbine and weirs for the winning of electrical energy from flowing waters. A radial turbine with a stream deflector and a rotor is used for this application. The turbine rotor is designed so that between the four rotor blades and rotor shaft a small gap (A) exists through which a volume flow passes at increased speed in relation to the driving volume flow and therefore induces a pressure drop on the upper side of the horizontal blade.
