The guide vane regulates the flow of water through the turbine, and also stops the access of water to the impeller and to the tailwater. Structurally, it is of a conical type with 24 blades. The guide vane includes: an outer and an inner ring, a regulating ring, blades with swing mechanisms, etc. The vanes are controlled by two servomotors through the vane rotation mechanisms and the control ring.
The rotation of the guide vanes is carried out synchronously with the rotation of the impeller blades in a combinatorial relationship providing shockless flow on the impeller blades and, as a consequence, the optimal efficiency of the turbine.
