It consists of main machine, nozzle apparatus, inlet part, deflector regulating apparatus, reverse nozzle mechanic, etc. 2.2.1 Main Machine: Including Rotary Part (working part) and Machine Housea. Rotary part: including runner, water throw ring, etc. The runner is the heart of turbine. The properties of the runner are critical for the properties of the turbine. This runner is cast by stainless steel. The shape of bucket is like two half-spoon, there is a water dividing edge in the middle. The water dividing edge divide the water flow jetted to the bucket to two sides in order to reduce water collision lost.There is a notch on the top of the bucket to avoid the bucket hamper the flow impulsethe following bucket. The water throw ring can stop the water overflow along shaft. b. Machine house including house and cover. The house connects the main part in a whole. One of the bearings for deflector shaft is located on a truncated cone hole near the connection between the house and the distributor. Connect the cover and house by screws and put asbestos pad between them. 2.2.2 Nozzle Apparatus: Consists of Distributing Parts and ConnectionDistributing parts include: Jet elbow, needle, nozzle, support, balance piston, etc. Jet elbow lead the pressure water to nozzle through support, the main function of thesupport is to bear needle rod and avoid vortex. The needle is made into converging stream type to reduce drag resistance to water flow. Pressurized water flow into the nozzle, then the flow speed rise rapidly at the nozzle outlet and push the runner blade by high speed jetting, the pressure energy is converted into speed energy and work on the runner. Nozzle opening is adjusted through change the section of nozzle outlet by the action of needle servomotor, this can adjust jetting capacity, adapt the change of load. Use the balance piston to balance axial hydraulic force applied on needle, make the action of needle rod free. The sealing sleeve on jet elbow is another supporting point to bear the needle rod. Theoil immersed asbestos packing and sealing gland are fixed on jet elbow, the formerenclose the water, and the latter clamp and scrape fouling off needle rod, protect thegasket. There is a hole at the jet elbow side near the support to remove weed and wood stick on the support in the pipe. The nozzle liner ring is made of GX5 CrNi 16-6, located on nozzle outlet to reduce cavitation since the cavitation mostly possibly occurred there because the flow speed is the highest at nozzle outlet. 2.2.3 Inlet Part Includes: Inlet elbow, etc.Inlet elbow lead the pressurized water to jet elbow, it is also a supporting point of nozzle apparatus. Expansion joint is used for installation and maintenance of unit for dismantling andadjusting. Drain valve is located on lowest part of inlet part. When maintenance or stop the unit for a long term, open the valve to remove accumulated water. Gate valve is used for cutting the water flow for maintenance or stop the unit for a long term. 2.2.4 Deflector Regulating ApparatusIt consists of deflector, deflector shaft, rocker arm, fork, connecting rod, operation rod, contact board, lifting hook, spring, electromagnet, etc. The deflector is also named flow diverter, it divert the jetting flow off the blade when the unit suddenly rejects load, to avoid over-speed and water hammer pressure rising too big. The deflector is made of ZG230-450. Principle of deflector regulating apparatus:i. Electrical: When the unit suddenly reject load or emergency shut down, the controller receives emergency shut signal, the electromagnet acts, bounce off the contact board, under the force of the spring, the operation rod make the deflector rotate a certain angle to deflect the jetting flow.ii. Manual: When the unit suddenly reject load or emergency shut down, use hand to pull the lifting hook to rotate a certain angle, the operation rod make the deflector rotate a certain angle to deflect the jetting flow. Before start the unit, use hand to pull the operation rod to reset. 2.2.5 Reverse Nozzle Mechanic:In order to prevent damage of bearing when shut down the Pelton turbine, the turbine is not permitted to rotate under low speed for long time, but the turbine is difficult to stop when rotate in air, so we locate a reverse nozzle to stop the unit rapidly when normal shut down or emergency shut down the unit. 2.2.6 Bypass Valve Equipped with Bypass Pipe and Gate ValveBypass valve if for the bypass of water flow in the front and back of gate valve. Before opening the gate valve, open the bypass valve first, let the pressure water fill the elbow through bypass valve, balance the pressure difference in the front and back of gate valve, reduce the torque for opening the gate valve. 2.3 Installation of TurbineInstallation quality of turbine will directly influence service life and output of turbine, therefore the installation work of turbine shall be done carefully. 2.3.1 Preparation Before Installation1.
