HYDRAULIC TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR INCREASING TURBINE OUTPUT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F03B13/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: hydraulic transfer system for increasing turbine power output incorporates one or several pumps driven by the rotor shaft or those of a submerged turbine rotors. The said pumps force water to the high-speed turbine to up its shaft rpm, as compared to the submerged turbine rpm, and to down the moment of rotation required to drive the generator or other equipment. The pumps and the high-speed turbine form a closed hydraulic circuit to force water, via the lines, from the low-speed pumps to the high-rpm turbine and, therefrom, to the pumps inlet or inlets. The aforesaid pumps or pumps represent low-speed high-pressure pump or a low-speed high-pressure pumping station. The submerged turbine rotor shaft is directly linked to the low-speed high-pressure pump or the pumping station made up of the aforesaid pumps.

EFFECT: high-speed turbine rotor higher rpm.
