Francis Turbine Generator Set
The Francis hydroelectric power generating sets are suitable for hydro power plants of low and medium heads. The unit consists of a turbine coupled to a generator, and a draft tube.
Technical Specifications
Overview
Francis Hydroelectric Power Generating Sets
Francis hydroelectric power generating sets are engineered for optimal performance in low and medium head hydroelectric power plants. These robust systems convert the mechanical energy of flowing water into reliable electrical power through a sophisticated integration of a spiral casing, turbine runner, and generator. With a proven track record of large-scale deployments, these units are designed to maximize kinetic energy recovery and overall operational efficiency.
