Model:FM62
Use:A small-scale Pelton turbine unit which is designed to be used in conjunction with the FM6X service unit. A Pelton turbine uses the momentum transferred from the impact of a jet of water onto its buckets to generate power.
A small-scale Pelton turbine unit which is designed to be used in conjunction with the FM6X service unit. A Pelton turbine uses the momentum transferred from the impact of a jet of water onto its buckets to generate power.
The FM62 consists of an inlet manifold which supplies water to a spear valve that allows users to vary the jet cross section while maintaining the water velocity.
The runner itself is mounted in a clear acrylic enclosure to allow maximum visibility of the workings.
The unit incorporates a pressure sensor to measure the inlet condition of the water. This pressure can be accurately controlled using the software supplied with the service unit.
