Features of the Francis ASUMB turbine

The ASUMB Francis turbine is designed for heads of 10–300 meters and a wide range of flow rates. Optimized blades and hydraulic circuits enable efficiency of 90–94%, ensuring maximum energy production in medium and large hydroelectric power plants.

Benefits and effectiveness

High efficiency at medium and high pressures
Stable operation with seasonal and short-term fluctuations in water consumption
Versatility for small, medium and large hydropower plants
Suitable for modernization of old Soviet hydroelectric power stations

Adaptability to water consumption

The ASUMB Francis turbine maintains high efficiency even with changing water flow rates due to:

adjustment of the guide vane
optimized blade pitch angle

This adaptability prevents overloads and cavitation, ensuring safe and economical operation.

Reliability and service life of equipment

The design includes:

cast and high-strength impeller blades
anti-corrosion coatings
high-precision bearing units
hydraulically balanced rotor

With proper operation, the service life of a turbine reaches 40–50 years.

Maintenance and operating costs

Turbine maintenance is simple and cost-effective. Basic procedures:

checking the condition of the blades
inspection of bearings and seals
control system diagnostics

Routine maintenance is carried out once every 12–18 months, and major repairs are carried out once every 10–15 years, which reduces operating costs.

The working principle of the Francis turbine ASUMB

Water is supplied through a guide vane, creating an optimal flow.
The flow acts on an impeller with profiled blades.
The energy of the water is transferred to the shaft, which rotates the generator.
The generator produces electricity.

This scheme ensures stable and efficient operation under any hydrological conditions.

Where are ASUMB Francis turbines used?

Medium and large hydroelectric power plants
River and diversion hydroelectric power plants
Modernization of old Soviet hydroelectric power plants
Industrial facilities, quarries and mines
Autonomous stations in hard-to-reach regions
