These turbines are particularly suitable for exploiting plant conditions where there is a low flow utilisation as compared with the water head. Situations where reaction turbines would have excessive speed and would encounter particularly serious problems such as cavitation. One of the most interesting aspects of the Pelton turbine is its flexibility in the presence of marked changes in flow capacity. In fact this machine consists of a flow regulating system which divides up the flow capacity into various injectors, from one to a maximum of six. Each injector is also capable of regulating its own portion of flow capacity, up to a minimum value of about 15% without creating any noticeable phenomena of load loss. The schematic figure shows that the turbine efficiency is at a constant level on the average down to very low rated flow capacities, thanks to this multiple jet inlet system. Pelton turbines produced by our Company can be supplied either with horizontal shaft, with one or two jets, and with vertical shaft, with a maximum of six jets, always controlled separately.
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.
