Double-runner Francis Turbine

The Double-runner Francis Turbine or Double Discharge Francis Turbine is of great importance for some “isolated” hydro power plants to allow turbine operation at low discharges down to about 15% of the unit's maximum discharge in winter conditions to prevent freezing of the flow-passage system. Forwardhydro's modernizations can provide higher efficiencies across the operating load, increasing the power output an average of 14% to 20%.
