History of Pelton Turbine

Pelton turbine has been developed since 1880 by Lester Pelton. Model of the water turbine designed using cups of water, which is attached in the wheel within the wheel is a cup match and can use the river through the nozzle by more than 1 box may be any number up to 4 channels, which will be growing in size while the same water turbine.

In general, the water turbine for electricity production from water with high water level of the head (high head) is higher than 250 meters or less time in the case of small systems. Making this type of water turbine rotation speed of the river may take through a nozzle at high speed without players. The effectiveness of this type of water turbine is the best.

When the relationship between the speed of rotation of the wheel of the cup as half the speed of injection into the river (Boyle. 1996: 205-206).
