STL and STEP files of Kaplan turbine runners for pico and micro hydropower.
Each runner is computed by Heliciel at the flow, net head and speed stated on its page.
To create your own custom model and test its performance: Heliciel software
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software (blade element momentum method, BEM). Design point: 0.06 m³/s flow under a 3 m net head, 1,500 rpm.
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software (blade element momentum method, BEM). Design point: 0.12 m³/s flow under a 3 m net head, 1,200 rpm.
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software (blade element momentum method, BEM). Design point: 0.3 m³/s flow under a 4 m net head, 800 rpm. Five blades with 10° skew.
