Features:

• The transparent cover enables to observe the water flow, the Pelton wheel and the nozzle during operation.
• The nozzle cross-section and thus the flow rate are modified by adjusting the nozzle needle.
• The turbine torque is determined by force measurement on a band brake and is read on spring balances.
• For measuring the rotational speed, a non-contact speed sensor.
• The water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and hits the Pelton wheel tangentially.
• In the blades on the circumference of the Pelton wheel the water jet is deflected by approximately 180.
• The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel.
