Popis: Theoretical and experimental studies of the current flowing in the lattices of the turbine stage impeller with a change in the elongation of its blades at constant constraining diameters of the flow part (constant blade lengths) are carried out. Four single-stage turbines with different chords of rotor blades and their relative elongations have been investigated. To explain the nature of the integral characteristics of the turbine stage with a change in the relative elongation of the rotor blades, detailed studies of the spatial flow structure in the gap between wheels and behind the impeller were carried out. The peculiarity of the operation of four impellers in the turbine stage is shown when the geometry of the channels changes along the height of the flow path - from active at the root to highly reactive at the periphery. A characteristic redistribution of the local values of the efficiency and losses along the height of the lattices associated with a change in the elongation of the rotor blades and the rotation of the lattices has been revealed. It was found that with a decrease in the elongation of the rotor blades, the zone with the minimum efficiency moves from the root sections to the peripheral ones with its simultaneous restructuring and an increase in the minimum efficiency in this zone. In this case, the integral values of the efficiency of impellers with different relative elongations of the blades remain the same and sufficiently high.
