AIR MOVING AND VAPOR CYCLE REFRIGERATION SPECIALIST |
|
with the following unigue and specific areas of expertise. |
|
Sophisticated Vaneaxial Fan designs where high performance and low weight have priority. |
|
Mixed Flow and Backward Curved Centrifugal blowers for special applications. |
|
Compact Vapor Cycle Refrigeration systems and Packaged Blower units to meet specific performance and weight restrictions. |
|
Constant Mass Flow fans to provide identical cooling capacity from sea level to 40,000 feet altitude. |
|
Mine Ventilation fans for up to 72" diameter. |
|
Over 30 years experience in the design, development, testing, and manufacturing of air moving systems for the civilian, military, and aerospace industries. More recent technology has permitted 3-D modeling of the fan components. This is employed to make impellers and housings out of plastic using stereo lithography. Thus a prototype can be made at a very low cost and tested in a relatively short period of time. The plastic prototype is tested to insure performance criteria are met prior to going into the final impeller and housing configuration. Tests can be run at low speeds and the results extrapolated to design conditions using existing performance scaling relations. With this approach, the time between initial design and first article is on the order of 3 to 4 months. Vaneaxial, mixed flow, and centrifugal fans are all amenable to this type of rapid, low cost, design and development. |

Also designed and developed several vapor cycle, environmental control systems for military and aerospace applications that were both compact and lightweight with power draw well within the specification requirements. Designed a 72" diameter mine ventilation fan that could be cut back to several smaller diameters with reduced flow capacity but producing essentially the same head rise. It also incorporated an ellipitical blade shape for operation with CW or CCW rotation at the same performance level but reverse flow direction. |

Available to design new systems or to redesign existing systems not meeting performance or that are oversize or overweight. |
