	Viktor Kaplan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Viktor Kaplan (November 27, 1876 in Mürzzuschlag, Austria - August 23, 1934 in Unterach am Attersee, Austria) was an Austrian engineer and the inventor of the Kaplan turbine.
		Although Kaplan was born into a worker's family (Kaplan's father worked at the railroad), he attended the Technical University of Vienna after he graduated from high school in Vienna in 1895.
		After the success of the first Kaplan turbines, they became used world-wide and are still today one of the widely used kind of water turbines.

		Horizontal Kaplan turbines are used at the installation on the estuary of the river Rance in France, the world's first tidal power station, which opened 1966.
		Kaplan was born in Murz and educated in Vienna at the Technische Hochschule.
		Kaplan published his first paper on turbines in 1908, and set up a propeller turbine for the lowest possible fall of water.

	Kaplan turbine
		A type of turbine, developed around 1915 by the Austrian enginer Viktor Kaplan (1876-1934), that has two or more blades, the pitch of which is adjustable; it resembles a marine propellor.
		Kaplan turbines are well suited to situations in which there is a low head and a large amount of discharge.
		They are being applied, for example, in exploiting many hydro sources previously discarded for economic or environmental reasons, and have also been used as wind turbines.

		Kaplan turbines are used for low heads, 8-60 metres.
		The Kaplan turbine is an overpressure turbine - the runner is placed in a turbine chamber and is totally surrounded by water.
		The mechanical and hydrodynamical functions of the Kaplan turbine were developed by KMW in Kristinehamn - one of our precursors - in cooperation with the inventor of this turbine type, Viktor Kaplan.

		Kaplan later improved his turbine by allowing the blades to swivel about their axis.
		This requires extensive controls that, for both Francis and Kaplan turbines, act primarily to open or close the guide-vane passages to regulate the flow and, in the case of Kaplan turbines, to vary the pitch of the propellers.
		Depending on the size of the unit, Kaplan turbines are now used with heads up to about 60 m (about 200 ft), and Francis turbines up to 610 m (2000 ft).

		The Kaplan turbine, designed by Viktor Kaplan in 1913, is a hydraulic turbine that operates much like a boat propeller.
		Broad, swiveling blades on the turbine are spun by high-Pressure Water as it is released through a sluice, driving the axle of a Generator.
		The turbine at Sho-Me’s Tunnel Dam plant is a Kaplan model.

		The three most common hydraulic turbines are the Pelton Wheel, the Francis Turbine, and the Kaplan Turbine.
		The Pelton impulse wheel works best when there is a head 50 feet or more and water flows are low.
		The Kaplan Turbine was designed by Viktor Kaplan in 1913.

		The Kaplan turbine, invented by Professor Viktor Kaplan, is for the first time constructed with 1,100 HP.
		It is mainly used in power plants located on rivers because it can reach a high economic efficiencies at low heads and low water supply.
