Definitions
- the present invention relates to a Benkatina Turbine and how to construct it.
- a Benkatina Turbine is an in-pipe turbine fitting inside a main and side chamber. It was previously described in terms of its overall shape in PCT application IL07/000770. This patent application describes novel features of that turbine type and their construction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
- Figure 1 is a diagram of Benkatina nozzles and blade arrangements.
- Figure 2 is a diagram of how a peripheral nozzle would work.
- Figure 3 is a photo of actual nozzles.
- Figure 4 is a diagram of a magnetic coupling used with a Benkatina turbine.
- Figure 8 is a diagram of an open top turbine.
- Figure 9 is a diagram of construction of the casing. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
- the present invention relates to ways of building a Benkatina turbine.
- Figure 1 illustrates Benkatina nozzles and blade arrangements.
- the use of different nozzles and flange types with a Benkatina turbine is hereby introduced, as well as their use in combination with matching blades.
- blades shaped in a cup or indentation to match the location and size of the nozzle output are used.
- a banana shaped nozzle (1 or 2) may match a banana-shaped indentation in the periphery of the blades (3).
- a peripheral circular nozzle (4) may be used, and that can also match a blade such as (3).
- a central nozzle hole (5) can match blade shapes (6) and (7).
- Blade (7) is distinguished by having part of the blade periphery cut off so that it can drain out the water more easily after it has hit the cup.
- Benkatina turbine for various embodiments are introduced as follows.
- the use of a stuffing box on at least one side for a mechanical seal is introduced.
- the shaft of the turbine (36) may be elongated on both sides (37) so that a generator can be placed on both sides, as in Figure 6. This enables fine-tuning of the power output with easily available generator components.
- Figure 7 is a diagram of a crown (38) and blades (39).
- a central ridge separates the stream of water into two for better balance. This technique is well known for use in other hydroelectric turbines, but is here introduced in combination with a Benkatina turbine. Cutting off the ends of the blades (40) allows better drainage of water, and is hereby introduced in combination with a Benkatina turbine.
- Figure 8 is a diagram of an open top turbine.
- the upper casing (41) is cut open to reveal the blades (42), thereby creating an open system and preventing buildup of water in the cups. This is particularly useful for a canal or dam system where the pipe is horizontal.
- Figure 9 is a diagram of construction of the casing.
- the Benkatina turbine's main and side chambers may be manufactured by producing two pieces, in different embodiments through casting or molds. One includes the pipe and extends above it to form a surface peripheral to the pipe (43), and the second (44) forms the rest of the casing of the side chamber. The two parts may then be bolted together along a lip present on each (45).
- the manufacturing process of making two halves and connecting them is hereby disclosed.
- the method and device of sealing the turbine with bolts or screws from the outside is hereby disclosed.
- the Benkatina pipes and blades may be made of only plastic, such as polystyrene, in the ideal embodiment for applications in corrosive environments.
- the present invention successfully addresses the shortcomings of the presently known configurations by providing a group of solutions to building an in-pipe turbine.
- the nozzle piece is molded into the pipe.
- the nozzle piece is inserted into the pipe.
- the system further comprises: c. a blade set of the turbine whose location of concavity substantially matches the location of the entry of water from the nozzle piece into the turbine.
- at least one hole is in the lower half of the nozzle piece. According to another embodiment, it is used in situations of flow where the pipe is filled less than halfway at least 50% of the time.
- a turbine operating in a fluid comprising: a. a set of magnetic couplings connecting the turbine and generator shafts.
- an in-pipe turbine comprising: a. a turbine, b. a shaft of said turbine, c. generator shafts linked to both sides of the turbine shafts.
- magnetic couplings are used on both sides to provide the link (said link being either physically attached or magnetic).
- an in-pipe turbine comprising: a. a crown, b. at least one cup attached to said crown.
- a method of manufacturing a Benkatina turbine comprising: a. providing a first piece that comprises the pipe and a portion of the side chamber, b. providing a second piece that comprises a portion of the side chamber, c. connecting the two pieces. It is now disclosed for the first time a method of manufacturing a Benkatina turbine, comprising: a. providing the turbine and entry pipe, b. providing a nozzle for the interior of the entry pipe.
- a blade for a Benkatina turbine comprising: a. a radially-oriented central ridge in the concave area of the blade.
- a blade system for a turbine in a liquid comprising: a. metal blades coated with fiberglass.
- a blade for a Benkatina turbine comprising: a. a cup whose periphery is cut off in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cup.
