Case Study: Pilot Chemical Company optimizes air compressor modeling with Datacor's AFT Arrow and AFT xStream
A Datacor Case Study
Pilot Chemical Company models air compressor transients in 3 scenarios with Datacor
Pilot Chemical Company sought to model their compressed air system, a critical and expensive utility, to analyze its operation under different scenarios. They worked with vendor Datacor to utilize its AFT Arrow and AFT xStream fluid flow analysis software to accurately simulate the system and understand its behavior.
Datacor provided a method to model the air compressor and tank combination using the software's transient analysis capabilities. The solution involved configuring the compressor junction to cyclically turn on and off based on tank pressure, allowing Pilot Chemical Company to analyze normal operation, insufficient supply, and sufficient supply scenarios to optimize their system design and operation.
