What's inside?
Johnson Controls is a global manufacturer of heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration products. JCI also manufactures refrigeration and gas-compression equipment for processing food processing, beverage, chemicals and petrochemical industries. Johnson Controls used TURBOdesign Volute to redesign and optimize the volute for some of their YORK® centrifugal compressors. The design of a centrifugal compressor for industrial cooling applications faces two main challenges: high aerodynamic efficiency and compact packaging.
TURBOdesign Volute was able to meet these challenges and generated a reduction in overall size of 8% and improved head and efficiency at the design point of 0.8% and 0.4% respectively, when compared to the existing design.
In this case study, you will:
- Discover the main challenges present when designing a centrifugal compressor for industrial cooling applications.
- Learn how TURBOdesign Volute revolutionizes volute design by making it a true aerodynamic component.
- Find out the significant time and efficiency savings Johnson Controls were able to benefit from by using TURBOdesign Suite.
