Centrifugal Compressor Design Online Training

This hands-on course lasts 4 days (up to 3 hours per day) and is aimed toward mechanical engineers and engineering managers looking to learn or refresh their knowledge (including for evaluation purposes) on how to use the AxSTREAM® software for the design, analysis, redesign and optimization of centrifugal compressors (single- or multi-stage and integrally-geared configurations) as well as fans and blowers.

This course can be customized to the student’s needs, but generally covers the topics listed below.

The course scope includes:

• Preliminary design of single-stage and multi-stage centrifugal compressors
• Preliminary design of multi-shaft (integrally-geared) centrifugal compressors (IGCC)
• Meanline and streamline calculations
• Vaned and vaneless diffusers including wedge and low-solidity diffusers
• Design and off-design performance including stall, choke and surge
• Impeller and 3D blade design
• Volute design
• Structural and vibration analysis (FEA)
• CFD of centrifugal compressors
• Slip factor
• Design of experiment applications in centrifugal compressor optimization
• 1-month trial license of AxSTREAM^®

Cost:

• The registration fee is $1200 ($300 per person per day)

Who should attend:

• Engineers specializing in centrifugal compressor design and maintenance of single and multi-stage compressors for various industrial applications, turbochargers, and centrifugal blowers.
• Engineers involved in the turbomachinery design and optimization process who are also interested in finding new, cost-effective solutions.
• Engineering students that are learning about turbomachinery design and need specialized tools that provides them with hands-on experience using a real-life design and optimization tool.
