    Cross Flow Turbines since 1925


    In 1925, Donat Banki received a patent in Budapest for his BANKI turbine. This turbine applied the cross flow principle, where a free jet traverses a cylindrical runner in vertical direction to the turbine shaft. The runner can easily be adapted to the flow, by changing the width. This is a big advantage, because it is easy to build "tailormade" turbines for specified sites. The simple design allows good standardisation and manufacturing without sophisticated manufacturing facilities. The costs are low compared with other turbine designs. For this reason, the Cross Flow Turbine (CFT) successfully conquered the market in industrialised as well as in less developed countries. Manufacturers started already in the Seventies to develop and build this turbine and entec personnel supported these activities with know-how inputs. Most successful so far were initiatives in Indonesia, Nepal, Thailand and Peru, where the well known T3, T8 and T12 turbines were developed, tested and built, based on a series of earlier models. Nowadays numerous turbines are manufactured in these countries.

    T15: A new Cross Flow design developed by Entec


    The present improved turbine generation, the T15 Turbine, is based on a consequent optimising process conducted over many years. Numerous computer based modifications of the hydraulic profile were empirically tested in the laboratory of the Institute for Hydraulic Machines of Stuttgart University. The test turbine of 29 kW had a runner diameter of 300 mm, and the sophisticated measuring facilities guarantee for reliable results. The achieved improvements were the basis for the redesign of the turbine. Three models, with the standard diameter of 300 mm and runner diameters of 400 and 500 mm, for larger flows at low head, were developed. It is now possible, even with the limitation of simple production methods, to build very reliable and long lasting turbines with competitive high efficiency. Big efforts were made to reach a good part load efficiency. With only 20% of the rated flow, the efficiency is still over 50%. This allows to reduce costs, because a single cell CFT will be sufficient in the majority of the applications. Double cell CFTs have two independent guide vanes, and require two regulation devices as well, which increases cost. T15 turbine manufactured under license

    Properties of the T15 Cross Flow Turbine


    The machine has a welded housing made from quality steel, rigid enough to withstand high operational stress and to enable a smooth operation. The design and the hydraulic layout result in minimised vibrations and noise level. Special care was taken in the layout of the main bearings for the runner and the guide vane. The casing is designed in such a way that different options for the bearing system are available to cope with the specific site requirements, like flywheel or belt drive. A sealing system (contact free or conventional type) is integrated in the side flanges. The guide vane unit can easily be taken out through a side flange for inspection, cleaning or replacement. To obtain the guaranteed efficiency, the cylindrical runner is fabricated with high precision. The side discs are laser cut so that the entire runner cross section and blade positions are well defined. The runner blades, representing the secret of the exceptional output performance, consist of an optimised bright drawn steel profile, manufactured to our rigorous specifications. If the turbine must be positioned considerably above the tail race water level (e.g. due to flood risk), a draft tube may be added to prevent loss of head. As the cross flow turbine is a free jet turbine, an automatic snifter valve is integrated in the draft tube to control the tail water level.

    The efficiencies shown are in model tests on the 29 kW model turbine. The reference efficiency curve was recorded for 15 kW nominal power. Under other hydraulic operating conditions (higher output and wider runner) the efficiency may reach 80% or even more, using standard upgrading rules.
