kouris centri-turbine (kct)

 Barnard Hydro-turbine Solar Innovators is the official Canadian and United States sale representative for the Kouris Centri-Turbine (KCT). This unique small scale hydro turbine is flexible, modular and scalable. For a prepared site it takes 12 hours to assemble a KCT,  not including optional concrete work. KCT can be transported on the back of a truck and lifted into place easily. This enables access to hard-to-reach sites. These turbines are especially designed for low head dam applications over traditional Kaplan and Francis type turbines.

KCT is extremely clean:
  • Zero greenhouse gas emissions
  • Zero interference with water flow
  • Zero interference with water life (FISH FRIENDLY)
  • Unobtrusive design blends into the landscape
  • Small footprint means no major works on site
  • 100% recyclable materials
  • Zero footprint after complete removal
  • Water aeration increase oxygen level in water

KCT is cost effective:
  • Full vortex power from circular steel or plastic tank (not from a semi circular spiral) with in field turbine results of up to 85% efficiency
  • Extremely low maintenance
  • Minimum civil works  required for installation (concrete pad, installation of inlet and outlet pipes)
  • Minimum construction time due to design of vortex tank (we do not need to form and pour a complex & expensive concrete reinforced spiral basin, intake and outlet structure)
  • The KCT can be relocated to another location if required for emergency power
  • Expert installation of turbine is not required
