Concepts NREC Announces TurboMatch

By DE Editors

Concepts NREC (CN) has announced TurboMatch software, which allows advanced compressor and turbine design as part of an overall engine system.  The integrated approach accommodates the complex interaction between the system components to create effective, low-emission machines.

Concepts NREC will host a webinar Sept. 2 to demonstrate how TurboMatch is used to cut design times by taking the place of what traditionally has been done using trial-and-error and custom in-house tools. 

“Concepts NREC works with all the major turbocharger manufacturers,” says Nick Baines, distinguished corporate fellow at Concepts NREC and author of the book, Fundamentals of Turbocharging.  “In talking with our customers, we perceived increasing demand for turbocharger systems that accommodate smaller engine sizes and lower emissions standards.  There was a missing link between design of a turbocharger and the overall engine system.”

User benefits of TurboMatch include having the ability to:

• Select a turbocharger to match a given engine.
• Design new turbochargers with assurance of engine matching at every design stage.
• Change compressor and turbine sizes then predict the effect on the match.
• Make a preliminary optimization of the turbocharging system.
• Study the effect of waste gates, variable geometry, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and component losses on the match and performance.

TurboMatch is part of a Turbocharger Design System and works in conjunction with Concepts NREC’s Agile Engineering Design System software for turbomachinery design and analysis.
