Casing is an imporant part of Vertical Pelton Turbine unit, which acts as a housing for runner and the suppport for Generator. The design of casing requires consideration of hydraulic as well as mechanical aspects. The size and shape of the casing should be designed to give proper guidance to water flow. Casing should have enough strength to meet the mechanical/structural requirements such as to withstand the dead weight of the generator, forces developed in the manifold/branch pipes, load due to the four jets in different combinations and load due to various actuation mechanisms. After satisfying above aspects, the casing should be checked for vibration behavior by modal analysis. The design of casing for four jet vertical Pelton turbine is carried out considering all above mentioned criterion. Ansys Mechanical software is used to study the structural behavior of casing and also for weight optimization by reducing the thickness of casing and changing arrangement of ribs. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
