Powerspout TRG - Turgo turbine
PowerSpout TRG Turbine for hydro generation
About PowerSpout
From humble beginnings over a decade ago PowerSpout turbines have developed into world leading products. PowerSpout make each one specifically tailored to your site and energy needs. Sustainably manufactured in New Zealand in their off-grid workshop using up to 68% recycled materials. PowerSpout turbines are modular so if you have an appropriate water resource installing multiple units has many advantages. All hydro turbines require periodic maintenance and if multiple units are installed the power generation doesn’t need to stop during this time.
Powerspout have a range of hydro turbines to suit most applications which include the PowerSpout PLT series, PowerSpout TRG series and PowerSpout LH series
The PowerSpout TRG
The PowerSpout TRG is a Turgo turbine which on a suitable site can produce up to 1.6kW 24/7, 365 days a year. If a larger output is required, you can stack units to generate over 16kW on the same penstock and power cable.
Specifications:
Head range: 2 to 30 (6.6 –100 feet)
Maximum flow/turbine: 16 l/s (254 gpm)
Minimum flow/turbine: 8 l/s (127 gpm)
Dimensions: 430 x 410 x 350 mm (16.9 x 16.1 x 13.8 inches)
Maximum power: 1200W (Standard) or 1600W (HP)
Maximum current rating 32 amp
Voltage
Common version available are TRG 14/28/40/56/80/170/200/350. The number refers to the operating voltage, cable voltage or "MPPV". The runaway voltage off load or "Voc" can be as much as 3 x higher. So, for example the TRG 200 will work well with a grid tied inverter at 200V but may produce voltage approaching 600V when the inverter is not drawing power from the turbine.
A TRG turbine comes with:
4 Jets and 4 valves (2” BSP standard - NPT optional)
All Camlock fittings and pipe clamps for 50mm (2”) ID flexible hose connection (all you need is 4 x 50mm BSP (2”) or NPT male fitted on your penstock and 6-10m of flexible smooth bore suction hose)
A mid-range oil filled pressure gauge
Manual grease fitting as standard
4 metal jet supports to prevent jet sag due to pipe weight
2m of 4mm² tinned PV wire for +/-/earth
2 x MC4 cable connectors
4 x Tek screw fixing kit
Rotor packing set kit included if we consider them likely to be required
4 x spare jet inserts
