Abstract
In many power plants designed to turbine large discharges, the effectiveness of emergency dissipating system plays a key role in case of cut off. The paper deals with the results of laboratory tests carried out on the scale model of the. The emergency discharge system at the Power House Discharge System of the EEPCO Project in Beles (Ethiopia) consists in a penstock connected to a Howell Bunger valve issuing in an armoured chamber and, at its end, a steel lining pipe. The design of the lab scale model of the emergency discharge system and of the experimental campaign was developed jointly by the research staff of Technical University of Bari (Italy), ATB Riva Calzoni SpA and Studio Ing.

In the following, some technical requirements of the overall discharge system are analysed and the several data collected during the experimental test on the lab model are analysed and commentedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
