Pelton Wheel Turbine Test Setup
Product Code : EL-HML-11050
The Pelton Wheel Turbine Test Setup from Lab Exports lets students study the operation of a Pelton wheel, the classic tangential-flow impulse turbine used for high heads, and experimentally determine its output power and efficiency using a rope brake dynamometer.
