Note: This 3kW vertical hydroelectric turbine generator cannot be used for drinking water.
Mini 3000 Watt vertical hydro generator utilizes axial flow design, supports 2m–4m head and 0.09–0.14m³/s flow, produces 220V output, perfect portable hydroelectric power generator for small-scale hydropower sites like creeks or mini-dams.
To determine the required head and flow rate for a 3kW miniature axial-flow hydroelectric generator, use the formula: Power = Head × Flow × Gravity × Efficiency.
Head and flow rate are mutually dependent: higher head reduces flow requirements, and vice versa.
Typically, at medium head (3-5 meters), a flow rate of approximately 0.06-0.1 cubic meters per second is required; at lower head (1-2 meters), a higher flow rate of approximately 0.2-0.3 cubic meters per second is required. System efficiency (typically 80%) directly influences the final value. Specific requirements depend entirely on site conditions. It is recommended to conduct actual measurements and consult the manufacturer's performance curves for accurate calculations.
