Turbine types

Francis

Pelton
One or two jets Pelton will get a horizontal shaft,

with a steel plate spiral case.
Image shows main turbine properties
and a prototype for the Kaplan turbine.

Bulb
The bulb turbine is by default horizontal,
but it may be rotated and get a draft tube bend.

RPT
Principally all Francis turbines
may pump if speed is reversed.
Pumping performance is available
as characteristic diagrams.
In case of dynamic operation all four quadrants
is taken into concideration.
