Anonymous Poster #1	Selection of Type of Hydrogenerator 09/08/2015 3:01 AM
	Dear sirs, I have read about umbrella type and suspension type of hydrogenerators - where thrust bearings are located at the bottom of the rotor, and at the top of the rotors respectively. Generally, we are given head, discharge and water levels and have to determine the type of turbine to be used, and the type of hydrogenerator. Now, the question comes - how the selection of suspension type hydrogenerator, or umbrella type hydrogenerators are made? Regards,

	The selection is generally made by competent engineers, having all the facts at hand. What do you have?

	At first, I thought the guy is directed towards this. But later, I found a bit different direction. __________________ The doctor said "just one post or reply aday in CR4, take it or leave it". I said, "what does that mean?"

	Search Turbomachineries. Google has actually many books for viewing for free. __________________ The doctor said "just one post or reply aday in CR4, take it or leave it". I said, "what does that mean?"

	I believe that you are maintaining (at least) two separate accounts here, and am about to report my suspicions to admin.

	I was wondering where KULAS went to? Now I know! Same spelling and grammar mistakes! __________________ Though it does seem he frequently has a Swiss Army knife or Leatherman and a roll of duct tape with him.

	Seem likes you are referring to Pelton Wheel and Francis Turbine, between impulse and mixed flow turbines. High Head, Low Flow use Pelton Wheel. Low head, High flow use Francis turbine. __________________ The doctor said "just one post or reply aday in CR4, take it or leave it". I said, "what does that mean?"
