Versatile and Efficient

These turbines are specifically designed to excel in scenarios with low head conditions. With a flow range extending from 30% to 110% of the nominal flow rate, Kaplan turbines offer versatility and adaptability to meet your specific project requirements.

Our double regulated Kaplan turbines feature both variable guide vanes and runner blades. This unique design ensures a consistently high and flat efficiency curve across the entire flow range. This means that regardless of the flow rate, you can rely on these turbines to deliver exceptional performance and maximize energy generation.

Additionally, Tamar Hydro also offers Kaplan turbines as single regulating and fixed flow (propeller) machines. This option provides a simplified configuration for applications where a specific flow rate is desired.
