French term

Aubes à réaction

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Plomberie, climatisation
Voic le contexte:
"Turbine avec aubes à réaction, acier galvanisé, équilibrée dynamiquement"

Apparemment "aubes à action" se traduit "forward curved/inclined blades".

No clue what one is though!!

blade, paddle for aube?

Lorsque la pression à l'entrée de la roue est supérieure à la pression de sortie de la roue, on parle de turbines à réaction. Ce sont les turbines Francis Kaplan et hélices. D'une conception complexe, elles disposent de bons rendements.

lots of blades in this explanation...

Turbine

Types of turbines

Somebody else can pick what type it might be from the list because I can't make much sense of it....

Building on the French explanation above (Ce sont les turbines Francis Kaplan ):

Kaplan turbine

The Kaplan turbine is an inward flow reaction turbine, which means that the working fluid changes pressure as it moves through the turbine and gives up its energy. The design combines radial and axial features.

reaction turbine

In a reaction turbine, forces driving the rotor are achieved by the reaction of an accelerating water flow in the runner while the pressure drops. The reaction principle can be observed in a rotary lawn sprinkler where the emerging jet drives the rotor in the opposite direction.

reaction blading

Turbine Construction

Type of blading identifies the blading as either impulse blading or reaction blading

Note from asker:
thanks for all the info ! I'll have a look into it.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : As opposed to an impluse turbine, like a Pelton wheel in hydro.

Thanks, no clue what you're talking about though ;-) just researched it on the hoof. Your comment is in line with the last link though...
Something went wrong...
