Abstract

In mountain areas where plenty of water is available, Pelton turbines are often designed with two to maximum six injectors (Fig. 19.1). Of concern in the design is the minimum displacement, i.e., the offset angle between two adjacent injectors. The jet is allowed to enter the bucket only when the bucket is relieved from the loading by the upstream jet.
