The bi-directional impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes is adopted because the turbine has a large efficiency and an advantage of maintenance. The turbine characteristics is obtained experimentally by the air turbine test rig. As a bi-directional diffuser suitable for the bi-directional impulse turbine, the diffuser geometry is proposed, which has a simple cone geometry. The combination system of the impulse turbine and the diffuser is investigated experimentally by using the water tunnel at IOES.
