The Powerpal mill range is applicable to sites that have a limited operating head with a flow capability from 200 to 2000 litres per second. Old mill workings with a functional or repairable hydraulic system can be resurrected for electricity generation without incurring major civil work and associated costs. The turbines themselves are small efficient energy converters delivering high speed shaft power for electrical generators or mechanical needs. Two models in open flume (thumbs) or closed scroll cage (top right) are available to suit the sites' actual topology. Seasonal changes in flow availability are compensated for by a manual governor which regulates water admission into the machines. In tandem packages (figures) two operating turbines cope with the highest flow conditions and allow single unit operation for low flow or maintenance.
The range is only supplied as an installed turnkey package and requires designing for each site. Please complete and send as much of the form below for quoting and design services.
Heads from 1.5 to 5 metres with power outputs 4kW to 50kW
