About This Product
A Pelton wheel is an impulse turbine in which a jet of water from a nozzle strikes the buckets on a runner. In a teaching lab the turbine is run at different spear settings and loads, and the power it develops is absorbed by a brake. Students record flow rate, pressure, speed and torque, then calculate power and efficiency and plot performance curves. The set-up is used in engineering and technical training labs for fluid machinery experiments.
