ABSTRACT:
A hydromotive assembly for installation adjacent the water passage through a damming structure includes a main body component having an internal draft tube and provided with external guide and support elements allowing displacement of the assembly alternately in a vertical direction or angularly about a vertical axis. One sub-component body includes a water flow conduit containing a turbine generator set having a fixed-vane distributor and is insertable within the main body component in axial alignment with one end of the draft tube while another sub-component body includes a shiftable flow-controlling gate and is insertable adjacent another end of the draft tube. Water-tight chambers in the main body component as well as the sub-component bodies are selectively filled with air or fluid to controllably float, sink or tilt the assembly and allow the installation or removal of the sub-components from the main body component.
