Guía de práctica turbina pelton del banco de bomba y turbinas tecquipment

Abstract

The Pumps and Turbines Bank (BBT) TQ MFP101 , located in the Public Services Laboratory at the Bosa Porvenir campus, is of great importance for subjects related to Electrical Energy (EE), Fluid Mechanics (FM), and Integrated Watershed Management (IWM). Due to the lack of a detailed manual in our native language for the BBT, uncertainty arises regarding the use of the equipment, making it difficult to obtain results and limiting its educational potential. Therefore, a practice guide was developed to help students and instructors understand the equipment, its operation, and its management related to the Pelton turbine. This guide is intended to serve as a learning tool through clear and concise language, contributing to the effective use of the equipment in the Public Services Laboratory (PSL).To address the lack of documentation, a research process was conducted combining bibliographic review and direct experimentation. The systematic process consisted of four phases: gathering technical and operational information, structuring the operational information model, calibration testing, operation, and results management. In the final phase, a detailed guide was developed, covering everything from a general description of the equipment to specific protocols, calibration, and its two experiments. The guide includes diagrams, illustrative graphs, and a database for managing obtained results, resulting in a comprehensive manual that facilitates the safe and efficient use of the equipment while promoting research and learning within the PSL.
