Technical Specifications
- DN 63 pipe assembly, max output 192 mW at 2.6 kg/s
Usage & Applications
- Energy harvesting from water distribution networks (micro hydropower).
- Laboratory testing of turbine performance vs flow rate and load resistance.
- Recovery of energy dissipated in break pressure tanks and pressure reducing valves.
- Feasibility studies for the Buea water distribution network (18 potential sites, ≈ 976.21 MWh/year).
Test procedure:
1. Set the flow rate on the test bench (1.1 – 2.6 kg/s range). 2. Vary load resistance (0 – 400 Ω) and record output power. 3. Compare with CFD simulation predictions. 4. Max observed output: 192 mW at 2.6 kg/s / 106 Ω.
