Air Flow Impulse Turbine | ThermoFlux - 7095
Product Overview
The Air Flow Impulse Turbine ThermoFlux - 7095 is a standalone table-top unit for investigating a single-stage axial flow impulse turbine driven by compressed air at approximately 6 bar. The turbine delivers a maximum of 200 W, features a 130 mm wheel with 45 blades at a 20° inlet/outlet angle, and is loaded by a belt brake dynamometer. This air flow impulse turbine measures torque (0 to 25 Nm via force sensor), speed (0 to 50,000 rpm via proximity switch), flow rate (25 to 315 ltr/sec), inlet pressure (0 to 10 bar), outlet pressure (0 to 0.5 bar), and temperature (-100 to 400°C), with digital displays for speed, torque, and temperature, and dial manometers for pressure. An optional air compressor (ThermoFlux - 7095) and LabVIEW-based DAQ software are available for continuous operation and PC-based data acquisition.

Construction and Design
The Air Flow Impulse Turbine ThermoFlux - 7095 is a standalone table-top unit built around a single-stage axial flow impulse machine with a throttle valve. The turbine wheel has a diameter of approximately 130 mm, carries 45 rotor blades, and operates with an inlet/outlet angle of 20°. Compressed air is supplied at approximately 6 bar. A belt brake dynamometer applies the load to the turbine shaft. A force sensor measures torque from 0 to 25 Nm. A proximity switch measures rotational speed from 0 to 50,000 rpm. Flow rate measurement covers 25 to 315 ltr/sec. Inlet pressure is measured from 0 to 10 bar and outlet pressure from 0 to 0.5 bar, both displayed on dial manometers. Temperature measurement covers -100 to 400°C with digital display. Speed, torque, and temperature readings are shown on dedicated digital displays. This air flow impulse turbine delivers a maximum power output of 200 W and supports optional PC-based data acquisition via LabVIEW DAQ software when connected to a separate compressor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What type of turbine is used in the Air Flow Impulse Turbine ThermoFlux - 7095?
The unit uses a single-stage axial flow impulse turbine. In this configuration, the fluid pressure drop and velocity increase occur in the stator, and the fluid passes through the rotor at approximately constant pressure.
Q2: What are the key turbine performance parameters of this air flow impulse turbine?
The turbine delivers a maximum power output of 200 W. The wheel diameter is approximately 130 mm with 45 rotor blades, an inlet/outlet angle of 20°, and is supplied with compressed air at approximately 6 bar.
Q3: How is turbine torque and speed measured?
Torque is measured by a force sensor over a range of 0 to 25 Nm. Speed is measured by a proximity switch over a range of 0 to 50,000 rpm. Both values are shown on dedicated digital displays.
Q4: How are pressures displayed on the unit?
Inlet pressure (0 to 10 bar) and outlet pressure (0 to 0.5 bar) are displayed on dial manometers. Speed, torque, and temperature readings are shown on digital displays.
Q5: Is a compressor included with the unit?
No. Compressed air is supplied from a separate compressor. An optional air compressor suitable for continuous operation (Air Compressor ThermoFlux - 7095) is available as an accessory.
