TURBINESKvaerner Hydro is the organisation comprising thosedivisions within Kvaerner Brug A/S of Norway, whichare concerned with Hydro Electric Power and WaterControl applications and its subsidiaries SorurnsandVerksted A/S in Norway, NOHAB-KMW Turbin AB inSweden, Kvaerner Hydro Power Inc. in the U.S.A.and Boving & Co. Limited and Boving NewtonChambers Ltd., in the United Kingdom.

Kvaerner Brug is one of the main companies of theprivately owned Kvaerner Industrier A/S, which isamongst the largest industrial groups in Norway, withactivities ranging from oil and gas to fish processingand environmental protection as well as shipping andshipbuilding.

The operation of all the Kvaerner Hydro companiesis closely co-ordinated and the technology andexperience of each is available to all. Productsavailable include:

Since 1848, when our first turbine was delivered,Kvaerner Hydro companies have deliveredthousands of hydro turbines, totalling over 80,000MW in output. Continuous improvement anddevelopment enables us to offer hydro turbines of alltypes and associated mechanical equipment of themost modern design for the smallest as well as thelargest projects.

Hydraulic and mechanical research, developmentand design is carried out in our modern laboratoriesand by experienced engineers using the latestcomputer techniques.

Brochures giving descriptions of our laboratoryfacilities and all of our products are available onrequest.

TURBINESWork on the hydraulic and mechanical design ofbulb turbines began in 1953 for Societe des Forgeset Ateliers de Creusot (SFAC) who were our Frenchlicensees. The result of this collaboration was themanufacture of several bulb turbines in France to ourdesign. The largest of these installations is PierreBenite in the river Rhone, comprising two units, eachrated at 20MW, with a head range of 3.25 to 12.4mand a runner diameter of 6.1m.

This reference list gives the main design data of allbulb turbines ordered, which have been designedand/or manufactured completely or partly byourselves.

Column headings in the table refer to:

Year: The year in which the order wasreceived.

The first of our deliveries was a small unit forSkogsforsen P.S. in Sweden. This was commissionedin 1959. Thereafter there was a period with littleinterest shown from customers in bulb turbines untilthe late sixties when the market changed to show aremarkable increase in demand.

The brochure on our Hydraulic Turbine Laboratoryillustrates our excellent facilities for model testing bulbturbines.

The mechanical design, including construction detailsspecific for this type of machine, has proceeded inparallel to the hydraulic development and we areable to supply all sizes of this type of turbine.
