Model Number: Tubular turbines-1 Brand Name: Fuchun Key Specifications/Special Features: The tubular turbine requires less space than other turbines, asaving in civil costs is realized due to a smaller powerhouse andshallow requirements for the draft tube, which is equipped withadjustable wicket gates and adjustable runner blades. Thisarrangement provides the greatest possible flexibility in adaptingto changing net head and changing demands for power output; becausethe gates and blades can be adjusted to their optimum openingsThe tubular turbines are the best selection for exploitation oftidal power and hydraulic power with extremely low heads andextremely large flow rates. They have large discharge, highspecific and high efficiency, and need less excavationThey have been classified into Bulb, Pit, Siphon and S types inthe light of their structural typesAt present, Fuchun has developed 16 varieties of tubularturbines, ranging from 2 to 25m in water head, 200KW to 16MW incapacity, and 0.8m to 5.8m in runner diameterThey offered the best selection for exploitation of low headhydropower resources in China
