Introduction to Tubular Turbine
A cross-flow turbine is a horizontal-shaft turbine in which water flows substantially along a horizontal axis within the flow passage. It is mainly suitable for water heads of 1 to 25 m, and is a special type of low-head, large-flow hydropower station. Since the water flow moves substantially in the axial direction in the flow passage and does not turn, the water passing capacity and hydraulic efficiency of the unit can be improved. It is especially suitable for tidal power stations. Its two-way power generation, two-way pumping and two-way water discharge are suitable for comprehensive utilization of low head hydraulic resources.
Tubular turbines are suitable for low-head applications, with high efficiency, low investment, fast development, and increased power.
