wws - Kaplan Hydro Turbine

This type of turbine is primarily suitable for low pressure areas and large quantities of water. The head of water (1m to 40m) determines the number of blades on the rotor (3 to 6 blades). WWS supplies Kaplan turbines with vertical design with concrete or steel spirals as well as tube turbines – individual according to the requirements of your power plant. If possible, direct drive for the generator is always the better choice (no loss of efficiency). Alternatively a transmission can be offered by way of a flat belt or gear units.
