Computational Fluid Dynamics
CFD-Analysen
Perfection begins with the streamlines. With state-of-the-art CFD methods, we simulate air and fluid flows in our machines precisely and reliably. This allows us to uncover optimization potential, reduce energy consumption, and sustainably improve the performance, reliability, and service life of your plants.
Flow Simulation as the Key to Performance Enhancement
The aerodynamic design of industrial fans and damper systems is a complex process that Siempelkamp Industrial Fans elevates to a new level through the consistent use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD calculations allow us to visualize and analyze the behavior of air and other fluids in detail – even before a physical prototype exists. These simulations precisely and reliably model the flow within impellers, ducting systems, and damper assemblies. The result is a fluid-dynamically perfect design that directly leads to maximizing efficiency and increasing process stability.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Reduction through Fluid Analysis
A central focus of Siempelkamp’s CFD expertise lies in reducing energy consumption. Through the detailed analysis of the streamlines, we identify areas with unnecessary pressure losses, vortex formation, or local flow impingement. The resulting optimization measures – for example, on blade geometries or inlet areas – lead to a significant reduction in the power demand of the drive motor. This is immediately reflected in lower operating costs and an improved carbon footprint of the overall plant, which represents a decisive economic advantage, especially for plants operating 24/7.
Uncovering Hidden Potentials: Heat, Particle, and Turbulence Transport
Siempelkamp’s competence goes beyond pure flow analysis. Our CFD models are also capable of mapping complex physical processes:
- Heat Transport: Simulation of thermal distribution in high-temperature or cryogenic processes to prevent hot spots or impermissible heat radiation.
- Particle Transport: Analysis of the behavior of dust, fibers, or abrasive media in the airflow to identify wear locations early and optimize the effectiveness of filter units.
- Turbulence and Acoustic Analysis: Investigation of vortex formation to reduce structure-borne noise and for the targeted design of silencers.
CFD as an Independent Service
Benefit from our in-depth know-how: Siempelkamp Industrial Fans also offers the execution of professional CFD calculations as an independent service. Whether you want to optimize the aerodynamics of an existing fan, validate the stability of a complex ducting system, or investigate the thermal stress on a damper assembly – our team of experts will provide you with detailed reports and well-founded recommendations for action to sustainably increase your plant performance.
