Characteristics of water turbine pump

What are the characteristics of water turbine pump? Weihu Submersible pump manufacturers is going to share some knowledge about wtaer turbine pump today.

To know the characteristics of water turbine pump, we have to know what water turbine pump is firstly. Water turbine pump is also named water turbine electricity generator. It is a device that generates electricity with the energy of water, converting kinetic energy into electric energy. The key parts of water turbine pump are the rotation wheel of water turbine and the impellers of water pump. They are on the same shaft or on different shafts, integrated as whole, work under water. The rotation wheel of the water turbine pump acts as its power unit. Under the effect of certain water head, it changes the potential energy in water into the kinetic energy that makes the impellers of water pump rotate, pulls the water from lower positions to higher positions.

If you add a discharge shaft at the top of water turbine pump, it can be used to make electricity generators work, or to drive other mechanical equipment, such as agricultural and sideline products processing machines, etc.

Water turbine pump has simple structure, easy to manage. It is an economical water lifting machine that uses natural hydraulic sources as its power. Water turbine pumps can be divided into two types based on the ways of connection between water turbine machine and the main shaft of water pump. One type shares the same shaft, while another type uses two different shafts. They can also be divided as axial flow type and mixed flow type according to rotation wheel models, or divided into low water head type, medium water head type and high water head type according to the need for water consumption, or divided into water lifting type and power output type according to operation requirements. Different from water turbine pump, submersible pumps are not divided into so many categories.
