The Development of Tubular Hydrostatic Bearing

Tubular turbine is the best choice of the development of low head hydropower resources,and the hydrostatic bearing is the foundation of the tubular aspects study. This article detailed introduces development of the tubular turbine especially tubular hydrostatic bearing. The development and testing of runner has been completed by hydrostatic bearing. The hydrostatic bearing has stable performance and meet the request of the standard of IEC.
