Pelton turbine
Za potrebe EPS-a, u okviru kapitalnog remonta MHE „Seljašnica” LOLA institut je projektovao, proizveo i pustio u pogon radno kolo Peltonove turbine.
Radno kolo omogućuje nominalnu snagu turbine od 463 kW, pri protoku od 0.375 m3/s, broju obrtaja 500 °/min i neto padu od 150 m. Radno kolo je proizvedeno od nerđajućeg čelika otpornog na kavitaciju sa pojedinačno vezanim lopaticama na disk radnog kola. Kompletan 3D dizajn koša lopatice i usaglašavanje sa geometrijom savremenih radnih kola izveden je primenom softvera NX-Siemens na radnim stanicama LOLA instituta. Na osnovu 3D geometrijskog modela lopatice izrađen je drveni model za livenje lopatica.
Obrada odlivenih lopatica i diska radnog kola izvedena je na četveroosnom obradnom centru HMC 500 u laboratoriji LOLA instituta.
