Kaplan Turbine
![Page 2: Kaplan Lecture 07-20-10](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020713/54741eddb4af9f89558b45a7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Kaplan Turbine• The Kaplan is of the propeller type, similar to an airplane
propeller.• The difference between the Propeller and Kaplan turbines
is that the Propeller turbine has fixed runner blades while the Kaplan turbine has adjustable runner blades.
• It is a pure axial flow turbine uses basic aerofoil theory.• They are 90% or better in efficiency and are used in place
of the old (but great) Francis types in a good many of installations.
• They are very expensive and are used principally in large installations.
• The Kaplan turbine, unlike all other propeller turbines, the runner's blades were movable.

Classification of Kaplan Turbines
• The Kaplan turbine can be divided in double and single regulated turbines.
• A Kaplan turbine with adjustable runner blades and adjustable guide vanes is double regulated while one with only adjustable runner blades is single regulated.
• The application of Kaplan turbines are from a head of 2m to 40m.
• The advantage of the double regulated turbines is that they can be used in a wider field.
• The double regulated Kaplan turbines can work between 15% and 100% of the maximum design discharge;
• the single regulated turbines can only work between 30% and 100% of the maximum design discharge.

Design of Blade
• Many factors play significant roles in design of blade. • The leading edge is thicker than the trailing edge for a
streamlined flow. • Furthermore, the blade should to be as thin as possible to
improve the cavitation characteristics; • It is thicker near the flange becoming thinner and thinner
towards the tip. • In addition, the blade has to be distorted on the basis of
the tangential velocity. • The “Tragflügel theorie” is also an important factor in
defining the shape of the profile and the distortion of the blade.

CAVITATION
• Cavitation occurs especially at spots where the pressure is low. • In the case of a Kaplan turbine, the inlet of the runner is quite
susceptible to it. • At parts with a high water flow velocity cavitation might also
arise.• The major design criteria for blades is : Avoid Cavitation.• First it decreases the efficiency and causes crackling noises. • The main problem is the wear or rather the damage of the
turbine’s parts such as the blades.• Cavitation does not just destroy the parts, chemical properties are
also lost.

The suction head
• The suction head Hs is the head where the turbine is installed; • if the suction head is positive, the turbine is located above the trail
water; • if it is negative, the turbine is located under the trail water. • To avoid cavitation, the range of the suction head is limited. • The maximum allowed suction head can be calculated using the
following equation:

Methodology of Testing the Design
• The following are steps, which must be undertaken in order to successfully complete design testing: – 1) Numerical model – full geometry of the turbine including – - Intake – - Spiral casing – - Distributor (all stay vanes and wicket gates) – - Runner – - Draft tube – 2) Tuning-up the numerical model – - Grid quality: verification and refinement. Based on couple
of runs of the flow analysis, the nodes distribution is adjusted according to the velocity/pressure field.
– - Operating parameters. In the non-dimensional factors, the CFD results must be within a certain range from the field measurements.

– 3) CFD analysis – flow solver – 4) Analysis of results – - Energy dissipation field (losses). – - Pressure gradients – estimate possibilities for cavitation – - Determination of the flow areas, where the velocity field has
highest non-uniformity – 5) Strategy for upgrade based on expected cost/benefit ratio – - Intake shape – - Distributor (wicket gates profile, stay vanes set-up) – - Runner design – - Draft tube shape
