Disclosed is a Francis turbine, and more particularly a double-flow type volute casing having a structure for changing the direction of flow in a turbine inlet, wherein a partition plate for partitioning a volute defined in the casing into an inner flow channel and an outer flow channel is provided so as to surround a turbine, the ratio in sectional area of the inner flow channel to the outer flow channel in a volute inlet, into which a fluid is introduced, is 4:6, a plurality of flow-rate adjustment holes is formed in the partition plate so as to be arranged at a gradually decreasing interval such that a high-pressure fluid flowing in the outer flow channel is introduced into the inner flow channel and the fluid flowing in the inner flow channel is directed perpendicularly to the turbine blades, in order to minimize the amount of energy that is lost and to reduce imbalanced variation of torque applied to the turbine blades, whereby it is possible to prevent the generation of vibration and to obtain high rotational force based on the guarantee of stable output, and therefore it is possible to improve the performance of a hydraulic turbine and to increase the lifespan of the hydraulic turbine through the stable driving thereof.
A double-flow type volute casing having a structure for changing the direction of flow in a turbine inlet, the volute casing having a turbine formed therein, the volute casing constituting a volute casing comprising a volute inlet provided as a vertical section thereof and a volute provided as a curved section thereof, wherein
