hydro turbines

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
