Concepts NREC Unveils PUMP: 2010, Offers Free Seminars
Concepts NREC CEO Dave Japikse to lead free seminars
 WHITE
RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Oct 1, 2009 – Concepts NREC (CN), a world leader in
turbomachinery design, research, engineering, software and manufacturing,
today announced PUMP: 2010, a new, year-long initiative for the industrial
pump design market. Through PUMP: 2010, CN offers coordinated and
comprehensive entry-level and advanced software and seminars for pump design
requirements, including finite element analysis (FEA) and computational
fluid dynamics (CFD). Ongoing seminars focusing on critical design problems
for the industry also are offered. Pump designers and original equipment
manufacturers (OEM’s) are complemented with a comprehensive and robust
design package, engineering design support and professional seminars.
 In
support of PUMP: 2010, Dave Japikse, Ph.D., chairman of the board/CEO of
Concepts NREC and the 2008 SAE Cliff Garrett Turbomachinery and Applications
Engineering Award recipient, will conduct a series of seminars, starting
October 12th, at locations across the United States for pump design.
The initiative comes in response to a noted increase in demand for pumps
in the 21st Century. According to The Freedonia Group, Inc., a
Cleveland-based industry market research firm, “Global demand for fluid
handling pumps is forecast to increase at a 4.4 percent annual rate to $47
billion in 2012.”
“The new CN product offerings free pump designers from the typical
spreadsheet-based design process, which can require many days and weeks to
develop valid designs,” states Japikse. “Now, pump designers can design and
test their products in a matter of a few days before building costly and
time-consuming prototypes.”
Our product offerings combine standard industrial pump design
methodologies for problems including radial, mixed flow and axial impellers
with symmetric volute design features or diffusers or return
channels/crossover vanes (bowl pumps) all within CN’s AxCent module from its
Agile Engineering Design System 2009 (Agile 2009) software. In this suite,
PUMPAL is used to develop the preliminary mean line geometry and AxCent
enables rapid flow analysis of pumps through streamline curvature or high
level CFD and FEA evaluations.
The software has been upgraded substantially over the past decade based
on client interaction and covers axial, mixed flow and radial pumps, both
single- and multi-stage, with full component modeling, including FEA/CFD
Free Seminar Series
Concepts NREC is sponsoring four one-day free seminars to advise pump
design engineers in matters of component and stage design for aggressive
performance goals. The free seminar series schedule is as follow:
- Oct. 12th, Midwest (Schaumburg, IL) US pump design seminar (one day
– free) Wingate by Wyndham Schaumburg/Convention Center – 8:30 am
- Oct. 14th, West Coast (Irvine, Calif.) US pump design seminar (one
day – free) Hampton Inn and Suites Santa Ana – 8:30 am
- Oct. 16th, Southwest (Houston, Texas) US pump design seminar (one
day – free)Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake – 8:30 am
- Oct. 21th, East Coast (Woburn, Mass.) US pump design seminar (one
day – free) Concepts NREC, 39 Olympia Avenue – 8:30 am
Additionally, a set of high performance design workshops has been
scheduled for 2009/2010. These workshops will concentrate on designs for
advanced pump diffusers, volutes, pump return channels and crossover ducts
(for multistage pumps) and inducers, plus rapid machining options for
impellers, volutes and diffusers.
Preliminary topics for 2010 are:
- Oct. 26 – 28 (’09), Design Software Workshop for pump designers
(2010 Kickoff)
- Jan. 20 – 22 (’10), Pump Diffuser Design Workshop (hands on)
- Mar. 1-2, Design Software Workshop for pump designers
- Mar. 3-5, Pump Return Channel and Crossover Design Workshop (hands
on)
- April, Volute Design and Rapid manufacturing
- May, Advanced Impeller Design and Economical machining
- July, TBA
- August, Pump - Advances in Design, Performance, and Problem Solving
(1 Week)
- Sept., Cavitation, Inlet Design and Inducers
These seminars, workshops and courses demonstrate a solid commitment from
CN to assist the entire pump industry throughout 2010 in achieving elevated
levels of energy efficiency. The seminars will be taught by experienced CN
pump design engineers.
