High Quality Factory Price Kaplan Hydro Turbine Generator Hydropower Spare Parts For Low Head Power Station

Products Description:
The Kaplan turbine is an axial-flow propeller turbine invented by Austrian engineer Victor Kaplan in 1913. It is designed for low-head and high-flow water energy conditions. Its core structure includes:

Runner:

The number of blades is usually 3-6, with an adjustable blade angle design, and the blade material is stainless steel or cavitation-resistant alloy.

The blades and the hub are linked by a hydraulic or electric adjustment mechanism to achieve real-time pitch change during operation.

Guide Vanes:

Arranged around the runner, the opening can be adjusted to control the direction and flow of water flow, and work with the runner blades to optimize efficiency.

Draft Tube:

Diffusion design, recovering kinetic energy of water flow and improving unit efficiency.

Generator and control system:

Direct-connected or gear-increased transmission, equipped with an intelligent governor and a condition monitoring system.

Advantages of hydropower:

Suitable for scenarios with large head and flow fluctuations (such as runoff power stations and tidal power stations).

Benchmark choice for low head and large flow scenarios

Applicable head range: 5~80 meters, single unit flow can reach more than 500 m³/s (depending on the specific model).

Particularly suitable for the development of low head resources such as plain rivers, estuaries, and irrigation channels.

Flexible adjustment and stable operation:

Through the dual adjustment mechanism (guide vanes + runner blades), it quickly responds to changes in grid load and supports peak load regulation and frequency regulation.

Strong anti-cavitation performance, and the overhaul cycle is extended by optimizing the blade profile and material selection (such as stainless steel 06Cr13Ni4Mo).

Compact design and low-cost operation and maintenance:

Compared with bulb-type units, the structure is simpler and installation and maintenance are convenient.

The intelligent operation and maintenance system can monitor parameters such as vibration, temperature, cavitation, etc. in real time to reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.
