The comparison kaplan and francis hydro power turbine is as under:
1. Efficiency of Kaplan hydro power turbine is higher.
2. Kaplan turbine is more compact in cross-section and has higher rotational speed to that of francis hydro power turbine.
3. In Kaplan turbine, the water flow is axia and in francis trubine it is radial.
4. The runner blades in the kaplan turbine is less in number.
5. Specific speed of Kaplan turbine is 2 to 3 times that of Fancis turbine.
6. Friction loss in Kaplan turbine is less.
7. Francis turbine requires medium head while Kaplan trubines are low head hydro power turbines.

What is the differences between pelton turbine and kaplan turbine?
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.
