Kaplan Turbine
Kaplan Turbine
Kaplan turbine is a type of axial flow turbine that is commonly used for medium to low head ranges in hydropower applications. They are specifically designed for sites where the available water head, which is the vertical drop of water between the intake and outlet of the turbine, is typically between 10 to 70 meters (32.8 to 229.7 feet). Kaplan turbines are known for their high efficiency and suitability for low head, high flow rate conditions, making them ideal for rivers, canals, and tidal or ocean currents where the water head is relatively low.
