First machined francis runner blade was completed on CNC machine in the New Golden Jubilee block of BHEL Bhopal. The francis runner blade is to be fitted and welded to skirt and crown assembly of RUNNER of 4 x 82.5 MW SHRINAGAR HEP. BHEL is developing welded Francis Runners to reduce the total cost of the Francis Runner. Runner is most important assembly of Water Turbine.
Machining of runner blade profile of water turbine by this process has improved the accuracy of profile and efficiency of the hydro turbines. Shrinagar HEP project runner contains 15 such blades.
