Products classified under HTS 8410.13.00.00
Francis Hydro Turbine for Pumped Storage
Francis turbines are mixed-flow reaction turbines ideal for medium to high-head hydroelectric plants exceeding 10,000 kW, often used in pumped storage facilities. They feature a radial inflow runner with adjustable guide vanes for optimal performance. Falls under HTS 8410.13.00.00 as a high-power hydraulic turbine.
Bulb Turbine for Low-Head Hydro
Bulb turbines house horizontal shaft Kaplan-style runners in a bulb-shaped housing for very low-head sites exceeding 10,000 kW total power. They maximize efficiency in rivers with minimal drop. Classified in HTS 8410.13.00.00 for large-scale hydraulic turbines.
Multi-Nozzle Pelton Turbine
Multi-nozzle Pelton turbines use 4-6 jets hitting a large runner wheel for ultra-high head sites exceeding 10,000 kW. They provide excellent partial load efficiency. Covered by HTS 8410.13.00.00 as high-power impulse hydraulic turbines.
Variable Speed Kaplan Turbine
Modern variable speed Kaplan turbines adjust runner and guide vane angles electronically for peak efficiency across 10,000+ kW output ranges. Ideal for run-of-river plants. HTS 8410.13.00.00 for these advanced high-power hydraulic turbines.
Kaplan Hydroelectric Turbine
A Kaplan turbine is an axial-flow reaction turbine designed for low-head, high-flow hydroelectric installations, suitable for powers exceeding 10,000 kW. It features adjustable propeller blades to optimize efficiency across varying water flows. Classified under HTS 8410.13.00.00 due to its hydraulic turbine design and high power capacity for large-scale power generation.
Pelton Wheel Turbine Generator
Pelton wheel turbines are impulse turbines optimized for high-head hydroelectric sites, capable of generating over 10,000 kW with multiple jet nozzles and bucketed runners. They excel in mountainous regions with steep drops. HTS 8410.13.00.00 covers this high-power water wheel variant.
Vertical Francis Turbine Unit
Vertical Francis turbines feature upward-oriented shafts for deep reservoir installations generating over 10,000 kW. They include spiral casings and stay vanes for optimal water guidance. HTS 8410.13.00.00 applies to these high-capacity hydraulic turbines.
