Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 The Kaplan turbine shown in contains an impeller 1 supported by a shaft 2 . The shaft 2 is arranged vertically. The water turbine mechanism includes adjustable blades 1.1.

[0018] The shaft contains a hub 3 at its free end. A guide vane ring 4 is further provided. A guide vane ring 4 is mounted in the hub 3 . The guide vanes 4.1 are also adjustable.

[0019] The adjustment unit according to the invention is used for adjustment, wherein an adjustment force proportional to the head is applied.

[0020] figure 2 The Kaplan turbine shown in is a tubular turbine with a horizontal axis. Hub 3 is also shown in figure 2 middle. The turbine also contains the figure 1 The same components of the turbine. The figure illustrates the impeller 1 and the further guide blade ring 4 .

[0021] A casing 5 surrounding the generator is provided. The generator is located on the shaft of the impeller 1.

[0022] In this case also set something like figure 1 The adju...

Abstract

The invention relates to an impeller for a Kaplan turbine, comprising the following features or components: a shaft, a plurality of blades; a hollow hub which is located on the free end of the shaft and which carries the blades; an adjustment device for rotating the blades around axes of rotation perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft. The invention is characterized by the following features: the interior of the hub is connected to a source of compressed air; branch lines are provided inside the hub to supply the compressed air to bearings or other lubrication points for the adjustment device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a Kaplan water turbine. (See eg DE10100963A1) Background technique [0002] This Kaplan water turbine includes, as its related parts, an impeller, a guide wheel and a casing. The impeller is provided with adjustable blades and is coupled to the shaft. [0003] Kaplan turbines have a vertical axis, but there are also Kaplan turbines with a horizontal axis. [0004] A particularly interesting application of a Kaplan turbine with a horizontal axis is already known. In this case, for example, in river hydropower plants, the gates of the dam or the retaining barrage are equipped with a large number of Kaplan turbines, eg with 6, 12, 24 or more turbines. A single Kaplan turbine is obviously very small in this case. In case of damage it can be easily and quickly removed and exchanged for a new water turbine. It is desirable to keep the construction of the water turbine as simple as possible (see eg US 5,825,094). [0005] The a...
