Centrifugal Compressor and Fan Design: 5-Day Training Course Overview

This 5-day (8 hours per day) comprehensive course includes multiple topics, starting with the basics of fluid dynamics and ending with a detailed overview of single-stage and multistage centrifugal compressors, fans and blowers design.

The course content is split between theoretical and practical sessions to ensure the materials presented are understood. The practical workshop takes trainees through the full design process of centrifugal compressors and fans for various applications using the AxSTREAM® software platform. The course features numerous real-life examples and exercises to provide students with a better understanding of the materials covered.

The scope includes:

Thermodynamic, aerodynamic basics
Flow and fluid properties
Primary centrifugal compressor and fan elements, stage analysis
Compressor and fan preliminary design
Impeller types, sizing and design
Splitter blades
IGV (inlet guide vanes) and restaggering
Vaned and vaneless diffusers including wedge and low-solidity diffusers
Volute types, sizing and aerodynamics
Slip factor and velocity triangles
Understanding and reducing losses in compressors and fans
Multi-stage compressor design considerations and their components
Design of experiment applications in centrifugal compressor and fan optimization
Performance and off-design compressor and fan analysis including choke, stall and surge predictions
Blade profile generation and 3-D shape configuration, flow in channel
Centrifugal compressor retrofitting
Components matching

The ever-expanding demand for minimizing energy consumption is setting the stage for more eco-friendly engineering solutions. This Centrifugal Compressor and Fan Design course (Fundamentals and AxSTREAM® workshop which provides in-depth hands-on experience with industry-standard tools) was developed to enable mechanical engineers to respond to evolving industry needs and to produce high-efficiency turbomachinery.
