The Hill Chart Calculation for Francis Runner Models using the HydroHillChart - Francis Module Software
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
In practice, for the design of hydraulic turbines, laboratory tests performed on reduced scale models of turbines are recommended. The optimisation of a turbine model requires extensive experimental research on several variants of geometry, the improvement of efficiency at an industrial scale which will lead to substantial economic benefits because of the extended life of the turbine. Warranty conditions arisen from model tests will be verified by additional tests performed on industrial prototypes at specific points agreed between the supplier and the customer. The purpose of these tests is the experimental determination of the relationships between the basic parameters of the operating turbine for different operating conditions. The graphic expression of these relationships represent the hill chart of the turbine which is valid for the whole turbine family similar to the tested model.
