Description
- Turbine Housing (Top): The prominent upper orange section features a transparent circular window. This window reveals the internal Pelton wheel, consisting of a central runner disk ringed with numerous split, spoon-shaped buckets designed to capture kinetic energy from a high-velocity water jet.
- Support Cabinet (Middle): Below the turbine is a large, rectangular, off-white metal cabinet. A label affixed to the front reads “Pelton Wheel Test Setup.” This enclosure typically houses a water storage reservoir and a high-pressure pump system.
- Plumbing Components (Sides): Light-colored PVC pipes emerge from both sides of the base. On the left side, integrated valves regulate water flow, while the right side includes vertical pipe extensions and monitoring gauges to track internal pressure and system dynamics.
- Mobile Base (Bottom): The entire apparatus is mounted on heavy-duty caster wheels at the bottom corners, allowing the test rig to be easily rolled and locked into position within a workshop or lab environment.
