Pelton wheel

However, as with wind power, you can't install half a Pelton wheel at a time.

First, the runner is less expensive to make than a Pelton wheel.

The Pelton Wheel went on to become the industry standard.

The facilities would include 4 vertical shaft Pelton wheel turbines.

The flow of water turns a pelton wheel which is attached to a generator to create electricity.

Pelton wheels and de Laval turbines use this process exclusively.

The Pelton wheel is an impulse type water turbine.

Pelton wheels may be either vertical or horizontal shaft machines because the size of the machine is so much less than the available head.

Turgo turbine, a modified form of the Pelton wheel.

Pelton wheels are made in all sizes.

The Pelton wheel also provided sustained power during (typical) lowflow conditions in a mountain stream.

The Pelton wheel, designed to power gold mines, still drives hydro-electric generators today.

A Pelton wheel is an impulse design.

The waterwheel, which until 1925 (when a Pelton wheel replaced it) was the power source for the workshop machinery.

Micro hydro is frequently accomplished with a pelton wheel for high head, low flow water supply.

Its two Pelton wheels have a combined capacity of 340 megawatts and are the largest of their kind in the world.

For mountainous regions where a waterfall of 50 meters or more may be available, a Pelton wheel can be used.

Evidence of these camps such as metal boilers, wire, a Pelton wheel, and old cabin foundations are still visible today.

Their father became wealthy, patenting the Doble Pelton wheel.

Therefore, Pelton wheels have only one turbine stage, unlike gas turbines that operate with compressible fluid.

Design of the Pelton Wheel and Francis turbine.

There exist multi-ton Pelton wheels mounted on vertical oil pad bearings in hydroelectric plants.

The dam's Pelton wheels are the largest ever built and have a combined capacity of 315 MW.

Third, it has higher specific speed and can handle a greater flow than the same diameter Pelton wheel, leading to reduced generator and installation cost.

The Pelton wheel tends to have all the flow traveling around it with the inlet flow focused on the blades by a jet.
