Flow

Our well compression and industrial compression solutions rely on a fundamental understanding of fluid flow and its management in harsh conditions.

This detailed understanding is vital to the development of pioneering fluid handling machines. In our primary sectors, these fluids may be gases, liquids or even a mixture of both. Corac’s innovative, compact high speed turbomachines transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid and our goal is to influence and optimise fluid flow so that our partners can optimise their processes.

Corac's engineers have in-depth knowledge of fluid dynamics and mechanics, embracing aerodynamic and hydrodynamic behaviours.  We are also experts in the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools such as ANSYS.

Natural gas compression expertise

The management of velocities, pressures, densities and temperatures is handled within the analytical process. We are able to simulate both single and multiple phase flows with heat and mass transfer.  The combination of our expertise and toolset allows us to take practical scenarios, such as the downhole conditions of a particular gas well, and produce a validated simulation of the machine we intend to build and how it responds to a variety of circumstances.

Through our design process, experimental and analytical fluid and thermal engineering can be supported by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to make rapid progress in the early stages of the development cycle. This means that we can work collaboratively with our development partners to share common understanding of fluid flow and shorten costly, time-consuming prototype programmes. Our theoretical approach is underpinned by a decade of testing and development experience in our purpose-built test cells, validating design methods and solving development issues.
