Abstract: The author analyzed the working characteristics of special turbine for cooling tower basing on the difference between the special turbine and the conventional hydraulic turbine. This paper points out that the special turbine works in a pressure water system and has typical ultra-low specific speed characteristic. These characteristics determine the type and parameters selection of the special turbine. Based on the theory the author has designed some special turbines in many projects in China. The practical operation shows that the turbines have high energy conversion efficiency and are steady in operation, with fairly good matching of the fans.

Abstract: So far, the research about sediment ablation characteristic of the Yellow River is very insufficiency. For preventing and alleviating sediment ablation of the Yellow River stations by more scientific methods, it is very necessary to research ablation characteristic of hydraulic turbine systematically. The ablation characteristic of hydraulic turbine has direct relation with sediment size distribution. By research ablation of hydraulic turbine material under different sediment size distributions, the common rules are summarized between material ablation and sediment size distribution, and the key data and critical parameters are found out, which provides evidence for sediment ablation defend of hydraulic turbine.
