The invention relates to an impeller for a pump or turbine, comprising at least one blade, which blade is provided on the pressure side thereof with a standing edge on its outer peripheral edge zone. The invention also relates to a pump for pumping water or a turbine for generating energy from water and having a casing and such an impeller.

A hydraulic machine has a runner of the Francis type, a head cover and a lower cover. A crown has a seal that seals the space between the crown and the head cover against water from the high pressure side. The runner is formed with at least one passage that is capable to drain high pressure leakage water passing the seal to the low pressure side. The passage is formed with an inlet aperture located in a portion of the crown which during operation is exposed to high pressure leakage water. The passage is located within one of the blades and leads from the inlet aperture to the band, where the passage forms an opening leading to the space between the band and the lower cover. The head cover is formed with an air inlet to admit air to the chamber between the head cover and the crown.

An ocean energy power generation water leak-proof device includes a water storage tank and a water pump. Water leaking into the ocean energy power generation device from the external is accumulated by the water storage tank, and is pumped by the water pump to the external of the ocean energy power generation device. An ocean energy power generation device includes a generator 1, at least one horizontal-axis hydro turbine, a sealed cabin, a sealing ring and at least one water leak-proof device. The hydro turbine is effectively prevented from damage caused by water leaking into the interior of the horizontal-axis hydro turbine.

A hydraulic turbine includes a rotor with a runner, which is concentrically surrounded by a stator, whereby the runner comprises a plurality of runner blades arranged and distributed in a ring around a rotor axis, and each runner blade extends between a runner crown and a runner band; whereby the stator comprises a plurality of guide vanes arranged and distributed in a ring around the rotor axis, and each guide vane extends between an upper stator ring and a lower stator ring; and whereby a predetermined clearance is provided at least between the runner band and the lower stator ring. A substantial reduction of pressure pulsations in the vane-less gap between said runner blades of said runner is achieved by substantially increasing said predetermined clearance.

The power generator set includes underwater assemblies and an overwater assembly. Each underwater assembly includes blades, a hub, a main shaft, a gear box, a coupling, a power generator, a stern cabin and a yawing mechanism, successively connected to each other; a variable pitch mechanism is disposed in the hub.

A sealed bearing module for a tidal turbine that has a rotor having rotor blades disposed on a rotor hub and a rotor shaft carrying the rotor for transmitting a drive torque from the rotor hub to a transmission or a generator in a nacelle which nacelle has a housing. The bearing module includes a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring, the first bearing ring is a split bearing ring having a first bearing ring part and a second bearing ring part, the second bearing ring has at least one axially extending bore for attaching the second bearing ring directly to the nacelle housing, the first bearing ring is configured to be connected to the rotor shaft and/or to the rotor hub, and the split bearing ring is preloaded by a preload element.

The present disclosure relates to a conical turbine hydraulic machine. A power plant compartment, a support layer plate, an inverted conical water flowing passage in an inverted cone shape and a hydraulic energy exchange compartment are arranged in a dam body. The power plant compartment and the inverted conical water flowing passage are isolated by the support layer plate, a hub cone housing in a normal cone shape, a main shaft and helix ribbon blades are installed in the hydraulic energy exchange compartment, the hub cone housing is fixedly sleeved over the main shaft, the helix ribbon blades are uniformly distributed on a conical outer surface of the hub cone housing, helix lift angles of all of the helix ribbon blades continuously decrease from top to bottom, and a water outlet communicating with a pool is formed at a lower portion of a back surface of the dam body.

A guide vane bearing for a hydraulic machine is provided, which may be serviced from the side of the water flow path, and a method for installing and removing a bearing of this type. The guide vane bearing includes a bearing support and a layer of bearing material and at least three segments, which are separately connectable to the bottom ring of the hydraulic machine, each segment including one part of the bearing support and one part of the layer of bearing material, and a joint between the segments being obliquely formed with respect to the bearing axis, so that one segment has a wedge shape, and the bearing furthermore including a bearing seal, and the bearing seal being rotatably fixedly connected to the trunnion of the guide vane, and the bearing support including a surface, which is designed as a running surface for the lip of the bearing seal.

A hydraulic turbine includes a rotor with a runner, which is concentrically surrounded by a stator, whereby the runner comprises a plurality of runner blades arranged and distributed in a ring around a rotor axis, and each runner blade extends between a runner crown and a runner band; whereby the stator comprises a plurality of guide vanes arranged and distributed in a ring around the rotor axis, and each guide vane extends between an upper stator ring and a lower stator ring; and whereby a predetermined clearance is provided at least between the runner band and the lower stator ring.
