Combines history: On 7 August 1913 Viktor Kaplan reported in Austria, the patent for the Kaplan turbine and 100 years later, his great-grandson Roland Athenstaedt returns with two of his sons to a chaplain Wirkungssttte back to results that are important f r the development of the Kaplan turbine was: Voith in Heidenheim. The three Athenstaedts Voith visited last week to get a picture of the place where history and the future of hydropower.
My kids are in school deal with renewable energy. Therefore, it was for me near, to explain to them the water and power to show the company in which you researched Ururgrovater, Roland tells Athenstaedt. At the same time the 46-year-old engineer fascinated by the character of sustainable hydropower plants, some of which operate across generations and across supply environmentally friendly electricity. During a tour of the production and the global test and development center in Heidenheim Brunnenmhle Roland Athenstaedt and procured his children an insight into one of the world's leading production sites for hydropower components. Here, as before Kaplan turbines are designed and manufactured. Viktor Kaplan and Voith The history of the Kaplan turbine is closely majestic software connected with the development majestic software of the company Voith. Viktor Kaplan majestic software visited the company Voith for the first time as part of a study tour in 1912. In the following years, followed by further study and research stays in Heidenheim. There he used the former Voith test laboratory in Hermaringen, within easy reach of Heidenheim. The contact between the former company manager Walther Voith and Viktor Kaplan intensified over the years. It was a friendship that is documented by correspondence rain. Looking at the development of the Kaplan turbine Viktor Kaplan Walther Voith once called the finder of my invention. Later, in the 1920s, the company Voith Kaplan rumte the option to use the U.S. patents on its turbine majestic software when the chaplain would receive half of the license Einknfte Voith drive and drives the application of the Kaplan turbine ahead In 1922, Voith began to manufacture majestic software Kaplan turbines, and made two copies majestic software for the power plant of the paper mill in Steyrermhl Obersterreich ago. The business with the invention Kaplan expanded into zgig and 1928 built Voith for the Rhine Ryburg-Schwrstadt Maschinenstze with four Kaplan turbines in Rekordgre. They each had a diameter of 7 meters. Those were the biggest Kaplan Laufrder the world. Over the past decades, Voith has developed into one of the main manufacturers of Kaplan turbines. Currently being revised modernization of hydroelectric power plant on the Rhine Bad Sckingen in Heidenheim, for example, four successive large Kaplan turbines Fri. They have a diameter of 7.4 meters. It is one of numerous modernization projects in the field of hydropower, the Voith ausfhrt anywhere in the world at the moment. Out about it more and more utilities use innovative Kaplan turbines for its power plant operation: so-called fish-friendly Kaplan turbines are frequently used especially in the United States. Since the invention of the Kaplan turbine, energy suppliers have bought their power plants around 10,000 pcs Min. Kaplan turbines are installed worldwide, with around 200 GW. This roughly corresponds to a capacity of around 200 large coal-fired power plants.
