INTRODUCING

LITOSTROJ HYDROOUR LAB

Hydraulic Design & Model test of turbines and pumps

PHYSICAL MODEL TEST IS A BASIS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE AND MEDIUM-SIZED HYDRAULIC MACHINES.

Our hydraulic laboratory, has model tested hundreds of profiles from Francis, Kaplan, Pelton to pump applications.

Our production facility in Europe has manufactured over 1000 units. Our powerful research and development team has been developing solutions for over 33GW of new installation.

THE TESTING FACILITY

General information

OUR EXPERTS FOCUS ON:

MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY

Evaluation of head, flow, moment and speed to establish energetic characteristics and optimise efficiency.

MEASUREMENT OF DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR

Evaluation of pressure pulsation to establish and optimise frequency and amplitude characteristics.

MEASUREMENT OF EFFORTS

Evaluation of moments acting on blades and axial forces to optimise output and ensure proper dimensioning of the unit.

MEASUREMENT OF CAVITATION BEHAVIOUR

Measurement of energy characteristics for different values of Thom coefficient and verification of the influence of the tailwater level to minimise cavitation over operation time.
