Experimental research of reaction blading on air turbine VT-400

Abstract

Abstract. The article deals with testing a reaction blading on an experimental air turbine VT-400, which is situated at the Department of Power System Engineering at University of West Bohemia. Experiments were carried out in cooperation with an industrial partner Doosan Skoda Power. The outputs of these measurements are for example: results of the stage efficiency depending on the speed ratio u/c, the course of reaction, the input and output angles and profile losses along a blade.

Measurement on Axial Reaction Turbine Stage

“…More information about experimental device can be found in the papers [2,3]. At present, the department has three turbine stages with different reactions, which were designed by our industrial partner Doosan Skoda Power .…”
