KAPLAN TURBINE – BRAKE FRICTION
The system simulates a small scale Kaplan turbine, especially designed for educational purposes.
It is delivered with 3 impellers with different angles of input and output, which can be exchanged in a fast and simple way.
The trainer is designed for the study and the demonstration of the behavior and the characteristics of a Kaplan turbine.
