The Francis turbine is a type of reaction turbine which converts the pressure energy of the water into
kinetic energy in the distributor and in the rotor. The water is nursed in the distributor by means of a spiral
covering. The flowing water is enhanced in the distributor by the modifiable guide vanes and engaged
onto the blades. The redirection and further hastening of the water in the rotor generates an impulse which
is diffused to the rotor.
