The study of aerodynamic performance in compressor blades is critical for optimising the efficiency and reliability of modern turbomachinery. Recent work has focused on the dual challenges of ...

What is robust design optimization (RDO), and is it better than standard optimization? In this customer case, we describe a multi-disciplinary optimization of a turbocharger compressor from Ford Motor ...

A UK clean-tech start-up claims to have developed a solution for reducing the average 10 per cent of total electricity European industries spend on air compression. Lontra, based in the Midlands, has ...

Compressor rotor blade vibrations are commonly categorized as either synchronous or non-synchronous occurrences. Forced response in rotor blades occurs due to circumferential flow disturbances, such ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. A Coventry-based technology start-up has developed an energy-saving design for air compressors, which are ...

A fan prototype will be installed as part of a vapour compressor at the refrigeration plant at AngloGold Ashanti's Mponeng mine. Refrigeration plants are generally required in deep-level mining where ...

The first compressors have rolled off the production line of Lontra's new £17m smart factory in Doncaster. The engineering technology company, led by Steve Lindsey, aims to quadruple the production of ...
