What is the TPD PICO HYDRO system?
IREM continues to innovate to offer cutting-edge solutions in the HYDRO POWER sector, always putting quality, efficiency and sustainability first. Among these, the TPD PICO HYDRO system, which thanks to the vertical axis Pelton turbine, designed to offer maximum efficiency and reliability, is able to generate energy in a simple and sustainable way.
What are the main characteristics of Pelton turbines?
IREM Pelton turbines are designed with runners, made of micro-cast stainless steel blades, fixed on the disk through an advanced welding process. This construction guarantees greater quality and durability over time.
In addition, the runner diameter and blade size are precisely calculated to perfectly match the specific hydraulic conditions of each project. The runner is directly connected to the generator shaft, thus improving the overall efficiency of the system.
The distributor is extremely reliable, made of welded steel, it is treated with a highly resistant galvanizing and painting cycle, which ensures a practically unlimited life.
How does the ECOWATT HYDRO TPD system work?
When you are in isolated contexts, without connection to the national electricity grid, IREM offers the ECOWATT HYDRO TPD system, designed to generate direct current electricity at a voltage of 24 V. It is composed of a Pelton turbine (TPD) and an R500 electronic regulator, which provides precise and high-quality power at 24 Vdc. The regulator manages the power supply and any connected batteries, ensuring optimized charging and maintenance cycles. In this way, energy is used in the best possible way, ensuring maximum autonomy and minimizing the need for maintenance.
The TPD PICO HYDRO system is able to operate with the following parameters:
- Head: 10 to 200 m
- Flow rate: 0.5 to 4 liters per second
- Electric power: up to 500 W
What are the usage scenarios of the TPD PICO HYDRO system?
The system represents the ideal solution for applications in isolated areas such as mountain refuges, huts, mountain pastures or small autonomous structures, where the availability of electrical energy is essential, but the utilities have a reduced power. The ease of installation and minimal maintenance make these solutions perfect for those looking for a reliable and long-lasting system in difficult environments.
