Gilkes - Pelton Hydro Turbines
The Pelton is an impulse type water turbine invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s. Peltons are the preferred turbine for hydro-power where the available water source has relatively high head at low flow rates. The jet(s) of water strike the splitter edge of the double bucket (runner) and is turned through an angle of nearly 180° before falling under gravity into the discharge channel or tailrace.Most popular related searches

Gilkes new Streamline range of Pelton turbines designed from the ground up for the sub-1MW market, have been engineered to provide a rugged, efficient and reliable addition to our existing range of Pelton turbines.
The Gilkes Streamline range has been fully re-designed in-house using our high performance runners to maximise efficiency and at the same time to simplify the civils interface requirements synonymous with hydro schemes.
