Abstract: According to the invention, the aim of the method is to counter difficulties in the measurement of the temporally fluctuating measuring signal for the water flow by employing suitable control of the turbine to deliberately preset the magnitude of the water current flowing through the turbines in such a way that during measurement this magnitude can be comeasured only for monitoring purposes. Measuring points can be compared with one another for the purpose of evaluation precisely when the quantity of water thus controlled proves to be constant from measuring point to measuring point within certain tolerances. If the adjustment of moving (rotating) blades and distributor (guide apparatus) is performed simultaneously at a mutual ratio precisely such that there is no throttling or increase in the current of water processed by the water turbine, the power leaving the generator is directly proportional to the efficiency of the turbine at the respective measuring point and representative for determining the best efficiency. <IMAGE>

Un boîtier (11) de communateur qui est moulé autour d'un contact (20) est vissé dans une extrémité filetée ouverte (16) du trou (15). Ce dernier communique avec une ouverture d'écoulement de fluide de telle façon que la pression du fluide provoque la rétraction du piston (71) à l'encontre du ressort (17). Le contact (20) s'étend axialement au-delà d'une paroi (11A) du boîtier (11) du commutateur de telle façon qu'une partie (21) élargie radialement (21) forme une surface d'appui pour une garniture (30) qui vient en contact hermétique avec la partie élargie radialement (21) et une surface du trou (15).

A cylindrical inflow component is arranged in the interior of the valve sleeve. The inflow component has a first portion whose diameter is smaller than the internal diameter of the valve sleeve and a second portion having a greater diameter, wherein the outer valve sleeve rests with its end face against the second portion. The pressure valve further includes a cup-shaped tubular piston which is longitudinally movably arranged in an annular space between the valve sleeve and the inflow component, wherein the bottom of the tubular piston is located remote from the second portion. An annular groove is formed in the first portion of the inflow component. Axially extending inflow ducts are provided in the end face of the second portion of the inflow component. The inflow ducts connect the annular groove to an inflow bore in the valve housing. A deflection chamber is formed at the outer circumference of the first portion of the inflow component and adjacent the second portion, wherein the deflection chamber is in communication with outlet openings formed in the valve sleeve. The valve control edges are formed by an edge of the annular groove and an adjacent edge of the tubular piston. The valve further includes a device for exerting a force on the inflow component in a direction which is directed opposite the direction of the pressure force in the inflow bore.
