挑战
Holcim (Brazil) SA 是巴西一家全球领先的水泥、骨料和混凝土产品供应商，在生产水泥时所用颗粒尺寸的监管方面面临着挑战。这些颗粒的尺寸会显着影响水泥生产线的效率。该公司正在寻求能够降低运营成本并提高生产效率的技术收益。面临的挑战是用计算机建模取代昂贵且耗时的分离器性能试错测试。他们还需要根据颗粒直径对颗粒路径进行模拟和分类，以考虑提高分离效率的可能改进。
关于客户
Holcim (Brazil) SA 是巴西一家全球领先的水泥、骨料和混凝土产品供应商。该公司拥有年水泥生产能力500万吨，经营4家水泥厂、2家骨料采石场和55家混凝土厂。这些业务在九个地区雇用了 1,600 多名员工。为了维持其全球地位，该公司始终寻求能够降低运营成本并提高生产效率的技术进步。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，Holcim 引入了工程模拟和科学软件有限公司。 (ESSS) 是一家总部位于巴西的领先工程仿真解决方案公司。在 ESSS 的支持下，Holcim 选择 ANSYS CFX 技术来分析其第一代传统设计动态分离器的气固流。使用 ANSYS ICEM CFD 网格划分软件生成包含 270 万个节点的网格。使用 ANSYS CFX SST 连续相湍流模型进行稳态模拟。使用拉格朗日方法对分散相进行建模，并与连续相进行单向耦合。模拟中考虑了湍流导致的颗粒分散以及颗粒阻力和重量。

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.
