Flygt hydro turbines SMART AND COMPACT HYDROPOWER

Why submersible? In 1983 the first Flygt submersible turbine was installed in Sweden. Since then we have delivered over 350 turbines around the world. Most of these units are still in operation as of today. As the largest submersible pump manufacturer in the world, our experience and history is placed into every submersible turbine we manufacture. Installed in new hydro plants or existing structures such as old mill sites, submersible turbines are extremely adaptable and can be made to work at almost any site. With low initial investment cost and long lifetime, the return on investment in...

Designed to run and adapt Usable in applications with heads up to 20 meters (65   t) and flows up to 10   ³/s per unit, a wide f m variety of site conditions can be accommodated by our family of turbines. Auto-adjusts to varying flow The four largest available turbines offer an option with automatically adjustable runners (semi-Kaplan turbines) to handle varying flows and use in run-ofthe-river conditions.

Generator All generators are fully submersible (IP68) to a depth of at least 20 meters (65 ft). Long-life bearings as well as class H insulated generator provide extended operational lifetime. With temperature sensors in the stator winding and main bearing, as well as leakage sensors in the stator housing and cable entry, the generator can be monitored for problems early, before they become severe. Hydraulics The runners are available with four or five blades and are available in either aluminum bronze or stainless steel. The blade angle can be manually set in 1 degree increments. Four or...

Flume and cylinder gate The flume is narrow in order to optimize the flow of water into the turbine. In the simplest of installations a cylinder gate is placed over the inlet bellmouth. The cylinder gate is balanced and closes by gravity. It also prevents the creation of vortices and allows low flume water depths. A rubber seal ensures a tight gate seal. The unit and seat The submersible turbine-generator is a completely integrated machine, including gearbox if required. As the generator is submerged, it is cooled by the water flowing around it. This allows for efficient and reliable...
