DIVE Turbinen GmbH & Co. KG is the manufacturer of the DIVE-Turbine. The company is located in Amorbach, Germany.
The DIVE turbine is designed for low head (2 to 25 m), with an electrical output from 50 to 2,000 kW per unit. The compact unit, consisting of a turbine and generator, is operated entirely submerged, with minimal noise and at variable speed. The unit has a unique wear and tear free sealing system, which it is absolutely maintenance free.
The high efficiency permanent magnet generator is directly connected with the turbine runner without any mechanical transmission (gearbox). Due to the compact design of the unit and its technical advantages, the costs and risks for constructing the civil works of the entire power plant are reduced to an absolute minimum.
At the same time, it ensures high efficiency for the entire power plant – from water to wire and maximum availability of the equipment.
With the DIVE-Turbine it is possible to realize a fish friendly hydro powerplant, due to the fix blade runner design without gaps and the variable speed operation.
