An ideal compressor would be perfectly efficient and consume a minimal amount of power. While a real-world compressor will always have some inefficiencies, simulation can help engineers bring their designs closer to that ideal. In this webinar, we discuss how you can take advantage of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to minimize detrimental phenomena including leakage, backflow, vibration, pulsations, and noise. CFD studies can take place early in the design phase before any physical prototypes have been made, saving you a significant amount of time and money. However, because of their complex geometries and moving components, it can be a challenge to create a suitable compressor model in a reasonable amount of time in many CFD software packages. CONVERGE CFD software overcomes this limitation through fully autonomous meshing. This feature can reduce the time it takes to create a computational model by several weeks, even for a novel design. In addition, CONVERGE can easily handle moving components, including flow-driven valves, and any type of refrigerant. We demonstrate how effective the CONVERGE approach is by applying it to a novel spool compressor.
