High Head, Lower Flow Hydro Turbines

High Head, Lower Flow Hydro Turbines


The Stream Engine is designed for use in battery-based power systems, with electricity generated at a steady rate, and stored in batteries for use at higher rates than is generated. During times of low demand power is stored. An inverter is used when AC power is desired.

Water from a stream is channeled into a pipeline to gain enough head (the vertical distance the water falls) to power the system. The Stream Engine operates at heads of about 2 metres (6 feet) and upward. The water passes through a nozzle, where it accelerates, strikes the turbine wheel, and turns the generator shaft. Up to 4 nozzles can be installed on one machine. The water passes through a guide vane assembly and then turns the propeller which is connected to the generator, then exits through a draft tube which is a tapered pipe which is immersed in the tailwater.

Typically, these systems operate at 12, 24, or 48 volts, with reconnectable wiring which allows the user to install a standard Stream Engine at most sites. Custom windings are also available which can produce high voltage (120, 240) at any site.

We carry a wide variety of replacement parts such as new generators, pelton or turgo wheels, nozzles, bearing kits, etc... Basically, if you need it, we've got it! Please call our technical sales staff at 877-878-4060 for more information.
