Pelton Wheel Turbine is only impulse water turbine now in common use named in honor

of Sir L.A. Pelton (1829-1908) of California, USA. It is a tangential flow impulse turbine.

The energy available at the Inlet of the Turbine is only kinetic energy. The Pressure at

the Inlet and Outlet of the atmospheric. The Present Set-up consists of a runner. The

water is fed to the turbine, through SS nozzle with a SS spear, by means of Centrifugal

Pump. Row of water into turbine is regulated by adjusting the spear position by the help

of a given hand wheel the runner is directly mounted on one end of a central SS shaft

and other end is connected to a brake arrangement. The circular window of the turbine

casing is providing with a transparent acrylic sheet for observation of flow on to the

buckets. Load is applied to the turbine with the help of this brake dynamometer so that

the efficiency of the turbine can be calculated. Pressure Gauge is fitted at the Inlet of the

turbine to measure the total supply head to the turbine.
