Abstract:
In a hydraulic pump and turbine system, the angular setting of the spray cone blades of the pump can be adjusted without any detrimental vibratory action during actual operation of the pump, this being obtained by closing, during said adjustment and without stopping the movement of the pump rotor, a valve, preferably a sleeve valve, inserted in the pump delivery channel between the pump rotor and the spray cone.
Abstract:
In a hydraulic plant comprising one or more machines of the reaction turbine or rotary pump type, the conventional single spiral casing of each machine is replaced by several partial volutes connecting the periphery of the fixed supporting blade ring by several independent tubular connection elements to a pressure pipeline.
