kaplan turbine

Kaplan hydroelectric turbines have long been a staple in green energy generation. However, their efficiency and productivity have reached new heights thanks to the precision and reliability of Johnson-Fluiten rotary unions. Let's dive into how this innovation is powering a more sustainable world.   The Legacy of Kaplan Turbines Invented in 1912, Kaplan turbines have been a proven solution for generating green energy with an efficiency of over 90%. These turbines operate within a typical rpm range of 50-500, and controlling this speed is crucial for optimal performance. The key to this control lies in the turbine's wicket gate and blade pitch mechanisms.     The Role of Johnson-Fluiten

Green energy generating a more sustainable world: Discover how Johnson-Fluiten Rotary improved Kaplan Turbines’ efficiency, productivity and energy saving. Kaplan hydroelectric turbines have been using Johnson-Fluiten rotary unions for years. The precision manufacturing continuous improvement and service have made Johnson-Fluiten an appreciated partner. The Kaplan turbine, invented 1912, has been a long, proven solution for generating green energy. Kaplan turbines have an efficiency of more than 90%. Controlling the rpm, which is typically between 50-500 rpm, is important to optimize the efficiency.
