Archimedes Hydro Dynamic Screw Pumps & Turbines (5 – 500 kW Outputs)

Archimedean Screw Turbines
The Principle 

The principle of the Archimedean screw turbine is relatively simple. The Archimedean screw use the kinetic energy in flowing water, typically provided by a river or even a small stream to turn a turbine and generate electricity.  

Archimedean Screw Turbine Advantages

• Excellent efficiency range - useful efficiency starts as low as 20% of rated maximum flow (see efficiency comparison table)

  

• Low cost of maintenance 

  Open workspace allows for easy access and maintenance. Large floating objects or debris can pass-through easily. 

  • Can be used at low-head localities - minimum of 1 m 
  • Simple and Durable design 
  • Works without fine screens - self-cleaning system
  • Environmentally & Fish friendly
