Nautilus combines proven turbine designs with modern engineering precision and American manufacturing to generate clean, sustainable energy from water power resources around the world. Our team has over 30 years of experience in small scale, utility grade hydro operations and the ability to build site specific low and high head turbine systems. Based in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, we''re surrounded by the history of early hydropower development and continue the tradition of building technology that enables energy independence for a sustainable future.
Francis turbine is one of the most widely used turbines, HS Dynamic Energy’s Francis turbines are commonly used at hydraulic head range of 6-500 meters, all our Francis turbine generator offer vertical type and horizontal type options.
Francis turbine Features:
Because different hydro power project head and flow should choose different turbine and different size turbine runner to meet, Turbine specification table can not show all the detail to meet all kind of condition of customer’s project situation, here table only for reference, so please give me your Head and Flow, together with your requirement, we will make the suitable design to meet your need, thanks.
Check left side table, you will know how much power you can get based on different Head and Flow data, if you can not find it in the table, just tell me your project Head and Flow directly.

——The professional solution company of micro hydropower system——
The American engineer James B. Francis developed the Francis turbine named after him in 1849. In 1913 the Austrian Professor Viktor Kaplan developed on the basis of the Francis turbine the Kaplan-Turbine.
Francis turbines are ideal for medium head (10-200m) and medium flow rates. They can be used in both run-of-river and storage power plants and are the most common type of turbine.
Thanks to the ongoing development of the Francis Turbine, an efficiency of up to 95% can be achieved. Furthermore, through direct coupling with the generator, additional bearing losses are avoided and the overall efficiency is increased.
„All from a single source "- True to our company slogan, we also supply the necessary accessories for your turbine. This includes hydraulic steel structures, control systems and much more.
At the Francis turbine the water is directed through the spiral-shaped steel housing to the fixed guide vanes of the spiral onwards to the adjustable guide vanes (distributor) and further on to the francis runner. The adjustable guide vanes allow to regulate the amount of water flowing in into the turbine. The water is deflected in the runner 90 degresse. The energy released in this way sets the francis runner and the usually directly coupled generator in a rotary motion. Since the water pressure at the runner inlet is not the same as the water pressure at the runner outlet, the Francis turbine is referred to as an overpressure turbine.
Since Francis turbines cover a very wide range of heads, continuous development is also required here, both in the materials used and in the hydraulic properties of the turbines.
At WWS, a wide range of specific speeds (Nq) are used, which are calculated using the latest state CFD simulations. The design bases for this are the calculations according to Thomann and Siervo.
The resulting runner geometries are carried out in the proven X-Blade design in order to achieve maximum efficiency and the best anti-cavitation properties.
