This webinar will highlight some of the key new functionality enabled by the updates, as well as showing a live demonstration of a single stage centrifugal compressor stage consisting of impeller, vaned diffuser and return channel/de-swirl vane.

The design of the vaned diffuser of a centrifugal compressor is still based on a considerable amount of empiricism in its design methodology. Parameters such as area ratio and blockage, which are more relevant to conical diffusers, are used in conventional design practice.

Key Advantages of 3D Inverse Design in Turbomachinery Design ProcessMany turbomachinery manufacturers are facing very common commercial drivers such as:

Three-dimensional inverse design method, where the 3D blade profile is designed for a specified blade loading distribution, has been applied for designing a propeller fan rotor with high efficiency and low noise.

Development of New Vertical Line Shaft Pumps

International technology Group ANDRITZ is a global leading supplier of plants, equipment, and services for hydropower stations. The Pumps Division of the ANDRITZ GROUP develops and manufactures customized large pumps and standard centrifugal pumps for a wide range of different applications and industries.

Soler & Palau develops faster axial fan design using TURBOdesign1

Daikin Applied of Minneapolis, Minn, a fortune 1000 company and the largest heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and refrigeration company in the world developed a new, ultra-efficient compressor design potentially capable of achieving multimillion dollar performance gains by using TURBOdesign Suite. Turbomachinery design engineers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worked to achieve higher performance levels to meet U.S.

Aerodynamic Design of Small Chiller Compressor for Domestic CHP Applications 

Design of High-Efficiency Compressors with Low GWP Refrigerants

Refrigerants are used in many applications such as stationary and mobile air conditioning and refrigeration systems. A commonly used refrigerant such as R134a has a low Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) but relatively high Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1400. In recent years there has been substantial growth in refrigerant used for cooling applications.

Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is currently the only proven large-scale (>100 MW) energy storage technology. The benefits of PHES on electrical system operations are well documented in textbooks and journals. The flexible generation of PHES can provide upregulation and downregulation in power

A 3-D inverse design method provides better cavitation control and reduces manufacturing costs

By Mehrdad Zangeneh

Traditionally, the design and optimization of complex shapes have been computationally expensive and improvements gained via trial and error, which is also expensive and less efficient. TURBOdesign Shaper is a software product of Advanced Design Technology that targets to ease the design of complex geometrical shapes. It is a solution for sensitivity analysis and optimization with computational cost being independent of the complexity.
