OSSBERGER - Cross-flow Hydro Turbines

The patented OSSBERGER cross-flow turbine works with heads from 2.5 meters up to 200 meters. We developed this turbine especially for small hydropower. It is currently available with outputs of up to 10 megawatts. Even with very low water flows, it reliably delivers energy and copes perfectly with fluctuating water volumes. This is achieved through two cells inside the turbine that can work independently of one another. The small unit already suffices as 5% of the design water quantity to start the turbine. OSSBERGER cross-flow turbines therefore mostly work all year round. Even if other types of turbines have long been idle. By concentrating on the essentials, the original OSSBERGER cross-flow turbine is very robust. Terms of many decades are the rule. The secret of their reliability is simplicity: only three moving parts ensure minimal maintenance and maximum technical reliability.
