Galbiati has recently realized a vertical axis gear increaser destined to an hydroelectric power plant.

The gear increaser will be installed between a Kaplan turbine and a 4.200 KW generator, working position at 45°.

Sized for 24/7 continuous operation, more than 8.300 hours/year. Full-load> 98.5% efficiency.

This gear increaser is equipped with temperature probes for oil and bearing temperatures detection, and vibration probes with relevant analysis and control equipment.
