Q1. What type of water flow is required for the generator to work efficiently?
The generator is designed to work efficiently within a water flow range of 2.0 to 15 L/min, with an optimal pressure of 0.05 to 0.2 MPa. The higher the flow rate, the more energy can be generated, but it can still operate at lower flow rates, making it ideal for streams, rivers, and other water sources with moderate flows. It is best suited for water pipes, areas where water flow is relatively steady or predictable.
Q2. Can the generator be used for powering larger devices?
While the Micro Hydroelectric Generator is designed for small-scale applications, such as lighting, small appliances, and water pumping, it can power larger devices in situations where lower energy consumption is required. However, for high-power equipment or appliances, the generator might need to be used in conjunction with additional power sources or energy storage systems, such as batteries, to meet the energy demand. The maximum output of 21.2V is sufficient for many small electronic devices, but it is not suitable for large-scale energy requirements.
