The Pelton turbine is a type of impulse turbine; such turbines change the pressure energy of water into
kinetic energy totally. During the conversion, the water jet is augmented in a nozzle and directed onto the
blades of the Pelton wheel obliquely. The water jet is redirected by approximately 180° in the blades. The
impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel.
Specification
