Lo Power Engineering Hydroelectric Turbine Generator
non-adjustable P.M. alternator
with Pelton wheel & up to 4 nozzles
12/24/48/96Vdc
This hydroelectric battery charger uses a Harris cast bronze pelton
wheel and a special permanent magnet alternator in a Harris powder coated aluminum housing.
This model is available with 1, 2 or 4 nozzles installed at the factory.
Nozzle(s) can
be up to 1/2 inch in diameter.
Each hydroelectric system is custom-built to match your site
specifications. A flexible hose penstock with shut-off valves is included on
machines ordered with more than one nozzle. Valves are provided for all
nozzles when ordering a multi-nozzle unit. The hose connections to the
nozzles allow for easy disassembly and/or tilting up the unit for inspection
and cleaning.
These units come standard with a permanent magnet brushless alternator
with no adjustability. This permanent magnet (P.M.) alternator is more efficient than the
Motorcraft alternator, produces less heat, and therefore lasts longer.
Unit can be ordered for common 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 48Vdc and special 96Vdc for
transmitting power long distances.
Maximum achievable power output is approximately 1500
watts. Pressure and flow combinations resulting in a power higher than
this may overheat the alternator and cause the permanent magnets to lose
magnetism. Made
in USA

versus nozzle size and head pressure
Note that the low pressure unit is more efficient at
head pressures less than about 50 feet
but can be operated to same maximum pressures as standard unit.
