These types of turbines are usually used in plants using low water heads, Frequently between 3 and 50 m. Our standard production includes machinery capable of developing capacities starting from 2 cu. M/s. Up to 40 cu. M. /s.
Kaplan turbines, with horizontal, vertical and also slanting centre lines, may be produced with various configurations, depending on the plant specifications. Kaplan runners are characterised by the possibility of being able to vary the blade inclination with consequent variation of the developed capacity; For this reason these machinery can be built either with a mobile blade system or with a simple row of fixed guide blades. This machine gives a first class performance in both cases, even with partial capacities and water heads, even though it works more constantly with the double adjustment version. It is possible to vary the power produced by the machine By operating exclusively with the degree of opening of the runner blades or, in double regulating version, by opening at the same time the runner blades and wicket gate blades. The wicket gate blades are moved contemporarily by A system of connecting rods and levers (2) outside the turbine shell so that it is easy to reach them for maintenance purposes.
Orengine Inc., was established in 1985; Within a multinational partnership project financed by Italian Ministry of Foreign Affaire and Ministry of Energy of Ecuador. Orengine's business involves in designing, building and commissioning facilities in renewable energy such as hydropower, wind, solar and bio-mass energy plants around the world.
Machineries, equipments, with related software, were developed and tested by qualified institutions and, in the meanwhile, attention were paid to introduce local industrial structures during the manufacturing process, either for cost reduction and to keep the product maintenance at least at a national level.
Orengine group particularly supplied products, besides of Italy, Europe and Ecuador, in many Central and South America countries. Nowadays, Orengine group works with the same method, that's to say collaborating with many partners located in foreign countries and in various geographical areas.
