The two Francis hydro turbines are part of a new hydraulic systems integration installation that controls the flow of water to a distribution canal from an existing mountain lake - Carter Lake in Colorado. A large pipe from the lake carries water down to the powerhouse where the two hydro turbines are installed,. The power in the flowing water spins the turbine which spins a generator that produces electric power. After the energy from the flowing water is reduced at the turbine, the water is directed to the distribution canal and on to homes and businesses. There are several needs at the client level, namely to reduce turbine downtime and maintenance, while optimizing running efficiency: Health and operation of the hydro turbine Keeping hydraulic oil clean and moisture free Eliminating corrosion, and leaks from piping and fittings Pressure and overall system condition monitoring Wicket gates precise control to control volume of water that flows through turbine.
