DESCRIPTION:-

Francis Turbine is a reaction Turbine, which was developed by English born American

Engineer Sir J.B. Francis. The water enters the turbine through the outer periphery of the

runner in the radial direction and leaves the runner in axial direction and hence it is called a

mixed flow turbine. As the water flows to the runner, a part of pressure energy goes on

changing into kinetic energy. Thus the water through the runner is under pressure. The

runner is completely enclosed in an air tight casing and the casing & runner is always full of

water. The water is fed to the turbine by Means of centrifugal Pump. 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 provided with a transparent. The

runner assembly is supported by thick cast iron pedestal. Load is applied to the turbine with

the help of brake arrangement so that the efficiency of the turbine can be calculated. A

draught tube is fitted on the outlet of the turbine. Pressure vacuum Gauge fitted at the Inlet &

Outlet of the turbine to measure supply head on turbine.
