EASy! for Pumps Design Suite
EASy! for Pumps integrates: performance prediction, optimization, and preliminary design; blade loading and detailed 3D blading and flow passage design; and 3D viscous CFD flow analysis.
Pump Designers:
- Follow guided steps to automatically achieve good designs
- Refine good designs or redesign existing pumps
- Accurately predict pump performance
- Avoid problem designs; troubleshoot existing hardware
- Reduce design cycle time, effort, and cost
- Benefit from design rules based on over 45 years of pump design experience
Pump Users:
- Easily conduct pump performance analysis
- Evaluate performance degradation
- Carry out what-if studies for proposed operating condition or design changes
The Three Elements of the EASy! for Pumps Design Suite
PUMPAL®
Preliminary Design, Performance Analysis,
and Test Data Reduction for Pumps
- Achieves good preliminary designs with minimal input through ‘wizard-driven’ menu options.
- Determines optimum pump configuration and dimensions through design variable parametric studies.
- Predicts performance for both design point and off-design operation.
CCAD®
Detailed Design of Blading and
Flow Path for Incompressible Flow
- Automatically provides very good initial blade shapes that achieve the component performance predicted in PUMPAL. Facilitates design improvement upon this initial design, when desired.
- Uses an iterative approach to design and analyze pump geometries.
- Uses fluid analysis combining specified losses with a quasi-3D inviscid flow analysis for fast results.
- Completely integrated with other system components to produce better detailed designs: seamlessly imports PUMPAL data; interfaces with mechanical analysis and CAD/CAM software.
Pushbutton CFD®
3D Viscous Analysis of Incompressible Flow
- CFD for pump design with a major difference: it is built right into CCAD and, with fully automatic preprocessing, CFD runs can literally be set up with one keystroke.
- Created to support rapid design iterations: examples of three-dimensional viscous flow solutions take less than 10 minutes on a modern PC.
- Relates geometric details of a design to fluid flow characteristics and component performance.
- Provides tip clearance representation for unshrouded impellers.
- Converges to user-specified flow rate or back pressure.
