Coating Design
If a coating is needed then this has to be known from the start of the project so that the
following optimisations can/have to be done:
- a coating friendly design (e.g. corners, accessibility in Francis runners)
- a design more resistant to erosion (e.g. better flow conditions)
- a design which is service & rehab friendly (e.g. replaceable facing plates)
In addition:
- Adaptations for bolted runners (e.g. adjustment of band thickness for the feet of blades)
22
Important is
- to analyse water, which is representative for the water going through the turbine
- To analyse often enough that also fluctuations will be seen (higher concentrations during rains, changing
mineralogical composition)
