What is the differences between pelton turbine and kaplan turbine?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
pelton turbines are suited to high head,low flow application but kaplan turbine are used for low head and a large amount of discharge needed.
kaplan turbines are expensive to design,manufacture and install as compared to pelton turbine but operate for decades.

What is difference between pelton wheel and turgo turbine?
pelton turbine is used for high head low flow but the turgo turbine is used for low head high flow, in pelton turbine number of jet can increased but in turgo it can't be done, in pelton the water hits the bucket once at a time but in tugo it hits more than one
Working of pelton turbine?
It works as the principle according to Newton's second law of motion
What is the position of the shaft in pelton turbine?
In the center of the wheel shaft is connected to the spoon away.
Why pelton turbine is called as impulse turbine?
Water is blasted at the buckets one by one or more jets mounted in the surroundings casing. Momentum is transferred from water to buckets and a torque is created, causing the wheel to rotate. That's why it is an impulse turbine.
What is jet ratio in turbine?
Jet Ratio: it is defined as the ratio of the pitch diameter (D) of the pelton turbine to the diameter of the jet (d). It is denoted by m and is given asm = D/d (=12 for most cases)
Why draft tube is used in francis and kaplan turbine and not in pelton turbine?
The Kaplan turbine is a newer, more revolutionary version of the Francis turbine, which came before it. The draft tube is used so that the turbine does not need to be where the water flow is lowest.
Did LEster Alan Pelton invent the water turbine?
Pelton invented a free jet water turbine called the Pelton wheel or Pelton turbine
What is difference between pelton wheel and turgo turbine?
pelton turbine is used for high head low flow but the turgo turbine is used for low head high flow, in pelton turbine number of jet can increased but in turgo it can't be done, in pelton the water hits the bucket once at a time but in tugo it hits more than one
