About hydraulic turbines and water wheels
cpc code 43142 covers the production of hydraulic turbines and water wheels, which are essential components in the generation of hydroelectric power. This industry plays a crucial role in the renewable energy sector, providing the means to harness the power of flowing water and convert it into electricity. Hydraulic turbines and water wheels are widely used in hydroelectric power plants, dams, and other water-based infrastructure, making this industry a significant contributor to the broader energy and utilities sectors.
Production process
The production of hydraulic turbines and water wheels involves a series of complex engineering and manufacturing processes. Key steps include the design and fabrication of the turbine or wheel components, such as the runner, casing, and generator. Precision engineering is required to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of these systems, which often operate under high-pressure and high-flow conditions. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are commonly used to produce these specialized components.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of hydraulic turbines and water wheels include various metals, such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron, which are used to fabricate the structural and mechanical components. Additionally, specialized materials like ceramics and composites may be used for certain components to enhance durability and performance. Electrical and electronic components, such as generators, control systems, and sensors, are also essential inputs for the production of these hydroelectric power generation systems. Skilled labor, engineering expertise, and advanced manufacturing equipment are also critical inputs for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of this industry is the production of hydraulic turbines and water wheels, which are then used in the construction and operation of hydroelectric power plants, dams, and other water-based infrastructure. The output of this industry is consumed by 22111 Electric power generation, 23731 Water, sewer, and pipeline construction, and 33312 Industrial machinery manufacturing industries, among others, which rely on these components to generate and distribute renewable electricity.
