Over a three-week period in March and April of this year, we hosted our SCORG v2023 Webinar Series. SCORG is a unique software for designing and analyzing positive displacement machines such as screw compressors, expanders, pumps, and motors.
The new features in v2023 are a significant step toward design exploration. Many new features have been introduced to help companies analyze and design screw machines more efficiently and effectively.
The webinar series included 3 webinars on the following topics:
- Webinar 1 – SCORG 2023 New Release
- Webinar 2 – SCORG Licensed ‘N’ Profile Integration
- Webinar 3 – SCORG Design Exploration Upgrades
Meet the Expert Speakers
Our speakers are not only experts in their field but the brains behind SCORG.
Prof. Ahmed Kovacevic spearheads the Centre for Compressor Technology at City, University of London. Prof. Kovacevic is a reputed name in the industry. He holds the title of Chair in Engineering Design and Compressor Technology for Howden Compressors, a leading manufacturer of compressors based in Scotland. Prof. Kovacevic has extensive knowledge of numerical modeling, analysis, and design of positive displacement machines. His research in this area led to the development of SCORG.
Dr. Sham Rane is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Compressor Technology and works on CFD modeling of twin-screw machines. His research interests are in the development of deforming grids for positive displacement flow machines and numerical model development. Dr. Rane worked closely with Prof. Kovacevic in developing SCORG.
Webinar 1 – SCORG 2023 New Release
In the first webinar in the SCORG v2023 Webinar Series, Prof. Kovacevic and Dr. Rane discussed the new features in SCORG v2023. During the webinar, attendees had the opportunity to learn how to use the new features in SCORG v2023 to enhance their positive displacement machines’ design and analysis capabilities.
In case you missed it, some of the new features include:
- Integration of the Patented ‘N’ Rotor Profile
- Design Exploration Framework
- Profile Position Check Utility
- Improvements in Thermodynamic Model
- NIST – REFPROP 10 Integration
- Calculation of Screw Expanders
- Performance Map Diagrams
- Rotor Deflections
- Updated GT-Suite models and Optimisation
Webinar 2 – SCORG Licensed ‘N’ Profile Integration
In the second webinar in the SCORG v2023 Webinar Series, Prof. Kovacevic presented the SCORG Licensed ‘N’ Profile Integration and related new features introduced in SCORG v2023 that can help design and analyze screw compressors and expanders.
As the screw compressors and expanders market is both large and competitive, any upgrades that lead to increased efficiency are more than welcome. Therefore, every slight improvement in performance and energy-saving capabilities makes a big difference. Watch the recording of the webinar to see how you too can achieve greater efficiency with your machines.
Webinar 3 – SCORG Design Exploration Upgrades
During the last and final webinar of the SCORG v2023 Webinar Series, Dr. Rane discussed the use of the latest SCORG Design Exploration Upgrades in the Framework available in SCORG v2023 for the analysis and evaluation of twin-screw compressors and expanders.
