挑战
商用风扇市场已经从大型定制设计风扇系统转向更加标准化的工厂制造装置。为了应对这一趋势,AcoustiFLO 旨在开发一种高效的小型离心风机,该风机可以作为适用于包装空气处理器的标准化、模块化组件进行销售。这种小型风扇的概念包括安装在无叶扩散器中的离心叶轮。然而,由于叶轮和扩压器之间的相互作用,优化机组的静压效率需要同时优化它们。 AcoustiFLO 的工程师发现,物理测试不仅成本高昂,而且无法提供对气流的必要了解以改进设计。他们一直使用功能较弱的 CFD 软件来完成更简单的设计任务,无法分析叶轮中的湍流和旋转动力学。
关于客户
AcoustiFLO LLC 是一家总部位于美国科罗拉多州博尔德的私营公司,该公司专门从事定制风扇应用工程,满足对现有系统无法满足的效率和声学性能要求的客户。 AcoustiFLO 拥有广泛的客户群,曾与大多数主要半导体制造商合作。该公司在世界各地安装了数百台风机,展示了其全球影响力和对其专业服务的广泛需求。
解决方案
AcoustiFLO 求助于 ANSYS Fluent CFD 软件来克服这些挑战。这项技术使工程师能够在测试原型之前系统地评估大量设计变更。他们能够验证 Fluent 模型的预测与原型测试结果足够接近。该软件还使他们能够发现扩散器和叶轮之间意想不到的相互作用,而仅通过物理测试很难评估这种相互作用。因此,他们能够开发出具有最佳性能的原型设计。 Fluent CFD 软件的使用不仅提供了有关叶轮和扩压器内部气流的宝贵见解(这是基于测试的方法无法实现的),而且还将装置的峰值效率提高了 13%。

Issue and Defect Resolution
One of the world's largest complex hardware manufacturers' business units, responsible for the post-product validation process, was looking to speed up its time to market and the time it took to identify and resolve process issues. Duplicate debugging hardware and software issues was eating up 70% of production time, slowing down time to market and costing money.
