Reverse engineer centrifugal compressor or fan designs.Redesign, optimize, rerate and upgrade existing centrifugal fans or compressors/components.
Analyze existing centrifugal compressors/fans and their performance at design and off-design conditions.Design new centrifugal compressors/fans from scratch.The tasks user can solve with AxSTREAM ® include:
When the radial flow compressor/fan design project is finished, AxSTREAM ® provides easy export of the blade geometry and its attachments (wheel and shroud) to the most common file formats allowing users to link with their existing capabilities for further analyses or creation of manufacturing drawings. Various configurations of impeller (axial-radial, radial and diagonal, with or without splitters), diffuser (vane, vaneless, radial, with or without axial downstream stator), volute and IGV (inlet guide vane) can be selected in the conceptual design phase or inputted/changed/edited at any point of the project. Starting from the preliminary design (defining basic machine performance from just a few simple parameters such as geometrical constraints, inlet/outlet boundary conditions), AxSTREAM ® progresses through a 1D inverse task solver optimizer, to continue with meanline (1D), axisymmetric (2D) and throughflow analysis, profiling and 3D blade design, 3D finite element analysis (FEA) for structural calculations, secondary air flow hydraulic and thermal calculations, rotor design, bearing analysis, rotor dynamics and 3D CFD calculations.
Design, analysis and optimization of deswirlers, U-bend (return channels), secondary flows, piping losses, etc.Opportunity to simulate heat exchangers/intercoolers in the flow path.This page deals mainly with single-stage centrifugal compressors/radial fans.Īdditional capabilities for multi-stage and integrally-geared centrifugal compressors include: The AxSTREAM ® platform for multidisciplinary turbomachinery design, analysis and optimization software tools provides a fully integrated and streamlined solution for the complete flow path design process of centrifugal compressors (single-stage, multi-stage and integrally-geared compressors) and radial fans.
