Case Study: Pilot Chemical Company improves turbomachine modeling with Datacor AFT Arrow

Pilot Chemical Company models fans, blowers and compressors with Datacor in 3 minutes

The customer for this engagement was Pilot Chemical Company. The challenge involved accurately modeling turbomachines, such as fans, blowers, and compressors, within their gas flow systems, which required understanding the distinctions between these machines and the correct implementation methods in the engineering software.

The vendor, Datacor, provided a solution using its AFT Arrow software. The solution detailed how to leverage the Compressor/Fan junction to model different turbomachines based on pressure ratios, select appropriate thermodynamic models, and utilize features like Multiple Configurations to handle different operating speeds. By implementing Datacor's guidance, the customer could achieve more precise and efficient modeling of their gas systems.
