As a Gilkes patented design, the first ever Turgo turbine was installed in Scotland in 1919. Since then, turbines of Gilkes originated design have been o perating in over 60 countries worldwide and many of the original units are still in operation. The Turgo Impulse turbine may be used in projects, which traditionally might be reserved for the Pelton or Francis machines. Designed by Gilkes in-house research and development department our engineers have continuously developed and improved the original design. Like all equipment of outstanding performance or design, attempts have been made to copy the Gilkes Turgo Impulse turbine, but, only Gilkes can back the design with our 89 years of manufacturing, installation and servicing experience. Gilkes are now replacing, completely or in part, copies of our Turgo Impulse turbines with the original Gilkes designed machine and providing the owners and operators with improved output. The Turgo range of machines covers the boundary between Pelton and Francis machines and they have been proven to deal extremely well with “dirty” water without any detriment to performance.
