[origin: CA2844566A1] The invention relates to a Francis turbine or other machine built according to the Francis principle; comprising - an impeller (1) having rotor blades (1.1); - a volute housing (3) that surrounds the impeller (1); - a traverse ring (4) with a number of traverses (4.4, 4.5); - an inner rotor blade ring having larger traverses, which is arranged downstream of the traverse ring (4). The invention is characterised by the following features: - suggested is an outer rotor blade ring that is arranged upstream of the traverse ring (4); - a part of the traverse ring (4) extends with larger traverses (4.4) over a part of the circumference of the impeller, beginning at the start of the volute, and a part of the traverse ring extends with smaller traverses (4.5) over the broader circumference of the impeller as far as the end of the volute.
