The Francis turbine is also called the Francis turbine. The water flows radially from the surrounding into the runner, and then flows out of the runner approximately axially. The runner consists of the upper crown, the lower ring and the blades. The Francis turbine is compact, efficient, and adaptable to a wide range of water heads. It is one of the most widely used turbine types in the world.
1. Suitable for the head range of 10m~500m.
2. The output range is 0.5MW~100MW.
3. With high efficiency and low cavitation characteristics.
4. The application of the Francis turbine is very wide. Compared with the impact turbine, it has higher specific speed, smaller unit size, lower cost, full utilization of the water head and high efficiency at full load (2% higher than that of the water bucket turbine).
