Diseño de un banco de laboratorio para pruebas del Rodete Francis Fme-28

Abstract

This document has the degree project of the students Nicolás Martínez Villanueva and Nelson Esteban Cruz Ramírez from the Mechanical Technology curriculum project, which consisted in making a design that would facilitate putting the bank of tests of the impeller of the Francis turbine, which is in the Machinery laboratory Hydraulics of the Technological Faculty of the Francisco José de Caldas District University. The bank is in poor condition, therefore, it provided the possibility of present some improvements and selection of necessary elements. The manual of the turbine Francis FME 28 and FME00 as a bibliographic source for the establishment of basic parameters for their respective new design, in addition to consulting bibliographic sources and reliable internet sources, in order to be able to carry out a design that could be run in the future. All the necessary guidelines were left to be able to carry out the respective construction, making comparisons with other banks to achieve a better operation at the time of practice. The respective selections were made, based on both calculations and research of the elements necessary for the laboratory bench works properly; In addition, the bases were made clear, through drawings and description of processes to achieve the installation at the time of having each of the necessary accessories. It was mainly taken into account the fundamental parts that are missing, such as the pump, the tank and the braking system, since a good result in practice as well as having a long useful life. Was achieved obtain an inexpensive and easy-to-build design to start up the bank of laboratory.
