Case Studies

Transportation

Concepts NREC designs, manufactures and tests turbochargers and turbocharger components for diesel and gasoline engines as well as compressor and turbine stages for gas turbine engines. We can also provide auxiliary system components for engines including fuel, oil and water pumps.

Waste Heat Recovery

Concepts NREC has extensive experience in the field of waste heat recovery, including providing ORC turbines for exhaust heat recovery from diesel and gas turbine engines.

Air, Land, Water

We cover the full range of transportation industries, including passenger cars, trucks, F1 racing, off-road vehicles, marine craft of all sizes, and aircraft piston, turbojet and turbofan engines.

Concepts NREC Develops, Manufactures, and Sells its Own Products

In addition to contract manufacturing complete turbomachinery products for customers, Concepts NREC manufactures and sells specialized turbomachinery products that serve well-defined niche applications.

These products are jointly developed with customers who first establish a market need for a new or improved technology. Concepts NREC then supplies the development expertise to turn their specification into a successful product. However, rather than just providing services for a fee, development costs are shared, enabling Concepts NREC to establish additional applications and markets for the product and generate noncompetitive sales. The results allow development costs to be amortized over larger production quantities, and both companies further benefit by producing a better product at a lower cost.

Proven Expertise

The full power and benefit of our turbomachinery design & manufacturing software suite is realized when the various modules are used together. The suite seamlessly transfers information between modules with the click of a button, saving time and eliminating the possibility of transfer errors. It also facilitates easy transfer at any step of the process to all major CAD formats and other third-party CFD and FEA packages.
 
Final designs can then be easily imported into our industry-leading CAM software, MAX-PAC, to create efficient 5-axis machining solutions.
 
Our integrated design and manufacturing software tools provide designers with a cost-effective, concurrent development approach that balances issues of performance, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturability.

A Little Something Different – Let’s Talk About Legal and Compliance, Part 1
by Bradley Leiser, Director of Contracts
The Corporate Transparency Act In this blog series, I plan to touch on a small variety of legal and compliance-related topics that are directly related to the day-to-day operations of small and large companies, including those in the turbomachinery realm. The series will include topics like confidentiality, the recent FTC attempt to ban non-compete agreements, and export/trade compliance. At the outset of each entry (including this one) I will remind readers that this publication is not legal advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. If you find that this discussion raises some questions for you, I encourage you to seek legal counsel.

Evaluating Manufacturability for Shrouded Impellers
by Ryan Lussier, CAM Software Product Manager
Design engineers are always looking for ways to push performance and efficiency. This can produce geometry which is challenging to machine and one of the first questions the manufacturing team needs to answer is, “Can we make this?” There are many factors at play here, such as machines, tools, processes, material, and the geometry itself, that come together to decide capability and feasibility. And sometimes very subtle changes in geometry can lead to massive improvements in manufacturability.

CFD-based Throughflow Analysis: Bridging the Gap Between 1D and 3D Analyses
by Steve Kohr, Director of Software Product Management & UX
Many of us have come to appreciate the expedience that 1D (meanline) analysis provides when scoping out a new design or revisiting a legacy design for use in a new application. However, we also know that this approach to design is heavily reliant on empirical models. Inherent in this design approach is, or should be, the acceptance that these empirical models are highly useful but obviously limiting and maybe not necessarily universally applicable. We are accepting the tradeoff of fidelity for time.
