HYDRAULIC LABORATORY
Equipment of Hydraulic laboratory allows to test the hydraulic machines in vertical or horizontal assembly:
- Kaplan turbines
- Bulb turbines
- Francis turbines
- Pump turbines incl. Deriaz turbines
- Pelton turbines
- Pumps
Parameters of universal testing rigs:
| 1st rig | 2nd rig | |
| Maximum Head H | 120 m | 120 m |
| Maximum Discharge Q | 1,2 m3s-1 | 0,9 m3s-1 |
| Max. output of the model Pmax | 300 kW | 300 kW |
| Max. rotation speed of the model Nmax | 2000 rpm | 2000 rpm |
| Useful capacity of the calibration tank | 50 m3 | 50 m3 |
Development and acceptance tests of hydraulic machine physical models are carried out in accordance with the international standard IEC 60193
At the beginning of December 2011, another part of our hydraulic laboratory was commissioned - the second testing rig for measuring of turbine and pump models.
