Francis turbine

Francis turbine is a kind of turbine suit to water head 20-300meters and with certain suitable flow.

It could be divided into vertical and horizontal arrangement. Francis turbine have the advantage of high efficiency, small size and reliable structure.

Horizontal Francis turbine unit, with horizontal shaft, could be 2 or three supports. Which is normally one stair arrangement. Simple structure, easier operation and maintainence.

Vertical Francis turbine unit, with vertical shaft, metal spiral case or concrete spiral case. With adjustable guide vane, and stay ring etc parts, are suit to runner diameter bigger than 1000mm. Our engineer will select the most suitable Francis turbine for your hydro power project.

Francis runner

Francis runner material could be stainless steel or carbon steel. The upper crown, lower ring, and blades are partial casted, polished, and then welded together. After heat treatment and fine polished, the factory tests including static and dynamic balance test, UT test, and dimension measurement. Our runners are guaranteed 100% all parameters meet the requirement, and related regulation.
