INTRODUCTION Type of water turbine that was developed by James B. Francis in
Lowell, Massachusetts, (Mill City USA) Operate in a water head from 10 to 650 meters (33 to 2,133 feet) and are
primarily used for electrical power production The turbine powered generator power output generally ranges from 10 to
750 megawatts, Penstock (input pipes) diameters are between 1 and 10 meters (3 and 33
feet). The speed range of the turbine is from 83 to 1000 rpm. Wicket gates around the outside of the turbine's rotating runner adjust
the water flow rate through the turbine for different water flow rates and power production rates
Francis turbines are almost always mounted with the shaft vertical to keep water away from the attached generator and to facilitate installation and maintenance access to it and the turbine.

COMPARISON
![Page 12: Kjm francis turbine presentation slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/58786cb31a28ab497b8b5363/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ADVANTAGES
• High efficiency• Can operate between a large range of head
heights (25 – 350m)• Medium acceptance of flow variation
![Page 13: Kjm francis turbine presentation slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/58786cb31a28ab497b8b5363/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES
• Low acceptance of head variation• Must be fully immersed in water and
enclosed in a pressure casing (difficult to repair and reproduce)
• Usually used only in large hydroelectric systems
• Difficult to maintain/clean• Guide vanes must be adjusted based on
current flow rate, so it needs to be manned•

OPERATION
• Francis turbine• Comparison with Pelton & Kaplan
