Abstract: The present invention generally relates to hydraulic machinery, such as hydraulic turbines. More specifically, the invention is directed to optimizing power consumption when the turbine is used in condenser mode. The present invention provides a novel hydraulic installation where the reduction of pressure in the spiral case during condenser mode operations is more efficient, limiting the power consumption if compared to state-of-the-art installations.

Abstract: A hydropowered turbine system has a hollow base member with an inlet fluid conduit at its upper end in contact with retained water under pressure. A flared fluid outlet is located above the inlet fluid conduit. A buoyant needle valve is slidably mounted in the base member to open or close fluid flow through the fluid outlet. A turbine runner is mounted over the fluid outlet and includes a vertical shaft connected to a generator. A plurality of turbine blades are on the lower end of the shaft adjacent the fluid outlet. The upper edges of the blades are parabolic in shape and dwell in a parabolic plane. The blades are partially submerged in the tailrace of the system to enhance air entrainment of the discharged water and to simultaneously mix the discharged fluid. Extendible blade elements are operatively connected to the blades to permit selective change in their operating shape.

Abstract: An arrangement provided for turbine wheels (4) with cover disks (6, 7) which have a contactless sealing region (8, 9) to the housing. An apron-shaped free jet is created within a mixer zone (15) by increasing the transmission cross-section to the housing side in connection to the sealing region (8, 9) in a stepwise manner in the mixer zone (15) adjoining in the same direction and by connection channels (16, 17, 18) from the outer air to the beginning of the mixer zone (15), the air (13) is sucked in and mixed in in order, after steering, to supply the water-air mixture at the rotor wheel outlet end (21) to the main flow (5). Air (13) is thus fed in behind the sealing region (8, 9) which, on the one hand, calms the flow in the main flow (5) behind the rotor wheel under partial load without auxiliary aggregates and, on the other hand, reduces the friction losses between the rotor wheel (4) and housing (1).
