Product Description

The ‘Swarg Systems & Instruments’ apparatus consists of a small pelton wheel connected to a rope brake. Water is supplied to the turbine by a centrifugal pump. Water flow is measured by a venturimeter and a mercury manometer. Water jet is directed over the buckets by a nozzle & a spear operating inside the nozzle controls the water flow. Thus the students can visualise the operation & estimate B.H.P. & W.H.P and various efficiencies of pelton turbine.
