WF-10-15 Waterfall Turbine
Hydrovolts’ waterfall turbine leverages a cross-flow runner design, a proven concept that maximizes water throughput for high efficiency power generation. Unlike most other waterfall turbines, the WF-10-15 is pioneering patent-pending technology that can allow the turbine to accommodate sudden and wide variation in flow volume – exactly as is commonly seen in waste water treatment plants and other industrial applications – without affecting plant operations. Like all Hydrovolts products, the turbine is designed for reliability and easy install: the turbine can be installed and producing power in just hours.
