挑战
FEDCO 是用于反渗透海水淡化服务的先进高速液体驱动涡轮增压器和离心泵的领先设计者和制造商，面临着重大挑战。公司的主要市场是海水淡化用高压泵和能量回收设备的供应。由于水资源短缺和能源成本不断上涨，该市场迅速增长，吸引了主要的国际竞争对手。为了维持不断增长的市场份额，FEDCO 需要为其现有的液压能量回收装置开发更大、更高效的型号。然而，构建和测试大型原型所需的费用和时间是不可接受的。在致力于最终模型和铸造设计之前，该公司有不到四个星期的时间来开发高度优化的流体设计。主要挑战是 FEDCO 只有一次机会获得正确的液压和铸造设计，因此所有资源都致力于实现这一目标。
关于客户
流体设备开发公司 (FEDCO) 是用于反渗透海水淡化服务的先进高速液体驱动涡轮增压器和离心泵的领先设计者和制造商。 FEDCO 在全球范围内与世界上一些最大的泵制造商竞争。公司的主要市场是海水淡化用高压泵和能量回收设备的供应。 FEDCO 的产品对于解决水资源短缺和管理不断增长的能源成本至关重要，这刺激了市场的快速增长并吸引了主要的国际竞争对手。
解决方案
FEDCO 求助于 ANSYS 技术来克服这一挑战。现有工程团队在几周内就掌握了 ANSYS Workbench 平台，并使用 ANSYS CFX 软件评估了许多原型设计的水力性能。 ANSYS Workbench 与 SolidWorks CAD 软件以及 FEDCO 专有液压设计软件中开发的实体模型顺利集成。 FEDCO 通过将现有设计的预测性能与实际性能进行比较，验证了 ANSYS CFX 分析的准确性。 ANSYS 技术的快速利用得益于针对 FEDCO 特定目标量身定制的出色现场培训。该解决方案使 FEDCO 能够满足效率要求，比现有设计的外推值高出约 6%。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
