Characteristics
1. Turbine and generator are separated, which is more easy to maintain.
2. Unlike vertical turbine, this turbine is horizontal. The turgo turbine is water lubricated, while the radial turbine has a separate oil lubrication system ensuring a more reliable system. Turbine has 2 bearing, generator has 2 bearings.
3. The bearing of turgo turbine has sustained more thrust force / axial force than radial flow turbine. Therefore the lifespan of bearing in turgo turbine is relatively short.
4. Unlike turgo turbine operated in opening system, radial flow turbine is operated in closed system, which is more easy to install.
