Kaplan turbine is widely used in hydro power stations with the head of 2--30 meters. It is equipped with a vertical axle. There are three different types of this kind in which there is an open trough or a pressure trough or closed concrete worm-shell trough.
The turbine is made up of several propellers or manually-adjusted blades. The water pipe of the end is vertical cone-shaped or elbow-shaped. The turbine with a diameter of 1000mm is vertical cone shaped. Therefore, it is fit for a small hydro power station with low head and load.
