Thordon’s Ultra High Efficiency (UHE) Micro Hydro Turbine
Today, hydro power production is the most efficient power source with no waste byproducts. Small-scale hydro turbines
are generally seen to be the biggest and most important component of a growing hydro-power industry. In
Canada, many First Nations communities rely on diesel generators for power. These require costly maintenance and are
noisy and inefficient compared with small hydro. A well designed, low-maintenance hydro site may be a better option if
there is a nearby river.
Thordon Bearings has designed and constructed the UHE100, an Ultra-High Efficiency Micro-Hydro Turbine.
The turbines are fitted with Thordon non-metallic bearings and seals, offering the user the following benefits:
 the highest efficiency possible
 completely non-polluting
 requires minimal attendance and maintenance
 low noise
