Improve flow conditions in products and plants to support performance, energy efficiency and environmental load.

General design and flow consultancy supports companies that need consultancy on the design and installation of flow dynamics in products and plants. The need often arises when flow conditions affect performance, energy efficiency, environmental load or operation, and the actual flow situation must be understood before changes are made. 

 

Physical and numerical flow investigation 

The service combines physical experimentation and numerical analysis to examine flow conditions and support work from the design stage through diagnostics, evaluation and on site optimisation. The work is carried out in close collaboration with the customer so product details and operating conditions are considered together with the flow task. The service is part of our expertise area Simulation and CFD for energy-, process- and production systems.

Challenges

When flow conditions are unclear, teams cannot judge design changes, operating issues or optimisation priorities with confidence.

Unclear flow behaviour delays design changes 

When the movement of liquids or gases is not sufficiently understood, it becomes difficult to determine where a design should be adjusted and which changes are relevant for the product or plant. 

 

Performance and operating issues remain unresolved 

Where flow affects performance, energy efficiency, emissions or pressure loss, limited insight can make it harder to identify the conditions behind the problem and assess which technical actions are worth pursuing. 

 

Existing plants are difficult to evaluate 

In operating plants, diagnostics and troubleshooting become more demanding when flow conditions must be assessed alongside production, application or other practical constraints. 

Benefits

Get flow analysis and consultancy that support design, evaluation and optimisation work in products and plants

Support better design and installation work

The service can support design and installation work by clarifying how flow conditions affect the product or plant. This helps teams focus changes, compare options and assess technical consequences more consistently. 

Support work on performance and efficiency

The outcome can support work on performance, efficiency, energy use, pressure loss and environmental load by showing how actual flow conditions influence the solution in operation or testing.

Support diagnostics and optimisation in operation

A better understanding of flow behaviour can support diagnostics, evaluation and on site optimisation in existing plants, including work related to downtime, wear, erosion and maintenance conditions.
