Axial flow turbines

The Compact Hydro Division of ANDRITZ HYDRO is among the world leaders in products and services for small and medium-sized hydroelectric power plants.

The features of the Compact Hydro axial flow turbines ensure a wide range of applications according to specific needs and include heads from 2 to 35 m, discharge rates up to 100 m³/s, and a power output range from about 300 to 10,000 kW.

All guarantees concerning efficiency, output and resistance to cavitations are backed up by model tests in the ANDRITZ HYDRO laboratories for three to six bladed runners, double or single regulated, horizontal or vertical axis.

The Compact Hydro axial flow turbines are based on a modular design concept with the same key components used for different types covered by
