Water Turbine Development History

Water Turbine is a power machine that converts the energy of water flow into rotational mechanical energy. It belongs to the turbine machinery in fluid machinery. As early as around 100 BC, China started to appear as a prototype of Water Turbine—a water wheel for irrigation and irrigation. Driving grain processing equipment, most modern Water Turbines are installed in hydroelectric power stations to drive generators to generate electricity. In hydropower stations, water in upstream reservoirs is led to turbines through diversion pipes, driving the rotation of Water Turbine runners and driving generators to generate electricity. The finished water is discharged downstream through the tail water pipe. The higher the head and the greater the flow, the greater the output power of the Water Turbine.
