INTRODUCTION
This simple guide gives the most important process steps for the installation of the
Axial Turbine that this guide describes. This publication tries to sum up in brief the
team’s trial during the installation of the first model in the town, Las Juntas in Jaen, and
gives some practical advices that will improve or shorten the steps for a correct
installation.
As it can be appreciated, in spite of the low power of this machine (25 KW), its
dimensions and weight are great if compared to the turbines of less volume (Pelton and
Banki), a careful handling during the installation, not only will allow a good installation
of the machine and its reliable operation but the assurance of the physical integrity of
the personnel doing the installation.
