1.6 Mavel’s Kaplan Turbines
The Kaplan turbine was invented in the Czech Republic in 1912 by Viktor Kaplan. Over the past 100 years, the design
has improved significantly and a number of Kaplan turbine variations have evolved. Mavel’s Kaplan turbines include
the “S”, Bulb, PIT, and “2” models with either vertical or horizontal configurations.
Mavel‘s Kaplan range generally targets sites between 100 kW and 20 MW and turbines are available with runner
diameters from 550 mm to 5500 mm, utilize three to six runner blades and can be single or double regulated.
The majority of the turbines MAVEL has installed since founding has been Kaplan. Mavel has signed contracts for the
supply of over 300 Kaplan turbines worldwide, including in Canada and the USA. In North America, Mavel has installed
or signed contracts for 36 Kaplan turbines.
