About Axial Flow Turbo Machines
AXIAL-FLOW TURBO MACHINES
The core piece of the experimental plant is the axial turbomachine with attached asynchronous motor. It can be operated either as a pump or turbine. To this end, different rotors /impellers and stators / guide vane systems are used. Included in the scope of delivery are four rotors / impellers and four stators / guide vane systems supplied with different blade / vane angles. The experimental plant contains a closed water circuit with expansion tank and centrifugal pump. The compressed-air powered expansion tank allows the turbomachine to be converted without loss of water.The asynchronous motor functions during turbine operation as a generator, and during pump operation as a drive. A powerful pump generates flow and pressure during turbine operation. The power that is generated by the turbine is fed into this pump.
The speed is detected contact-free by means of an inductive displacement sensor on the motor shaft. To determine the drive power, the asynchronous motor is mounted on swivel bearings and equipped with a force sensor to measure the drive torque. Manometers measure the pressures at inlet and outlet. Pressure sensors measure the differential pressures at rotor / impeller and stator / guide vane system. The flow rate is measured by an electromagnetic flow meter. The measured values are read from digital displays.
