Description: I highly doubt that you will ever find another one of these for sale. This is the FM 32 Pelton Turbine Demonstration Unit by Armfield. This was used in the early 200's to teach engineering students. Details can be found online, and one is in service in India, but here are the highlights: The industrially used Pelton turbine is the most visually obvious example of an impulse machine. The kinetic energy of a jet leaving a high pressure nozzle is converted on impact with the turbine blades to rotational mechanical energy. The Pelton turbine can be demonstrated to be the optimal choice for power generation where high inlet pressure heads are available. Technical DetailsThe rotor carries 10 divided buckets on a pitch circle of 70mm diameter. The rotor is mounted on a horizontal stainless steel shaftcarried in corrosion resistant ball bearings with double shields, to provide life-time lubrication. The spear valve has a nozzle of 4.5mm diameter, fitted with an adjustable valve stem to vary the jet diameter with minimum friction loss. This allows the flow rate to be varied with a constant exit jet velocity. The pressure sensor is installed in the pipework upstream of the spear valve. The inclusion of a spear valve allows comparison of turbine control using this device with that using a normal throttle valve. A robust clear acrylic casing houses the rotor and spear valve.The turbine develops approximately 33W at 2100rpm when supplied with 20 litres per minute of water at 270kPa, no line feed required.
