PDM Analysis proudly sponsored the 3-day online 12th International Conference on Compressors and their Systems on 6th- 8th September 2021 organised by the Centre for Compressor Technology at City, University of London.
Over the three days, delegates participated in a forum for developments in air, gas and refrigeration compressors, vacuum pumps, expanders. This year, the programme was more cohesive by including industry sessions on high-importance topics and the traditional keynote addresses, research and technical papers, podium papers, and discussions.
Live Demo
We had an exciting presentation and live demonstration conducted by Ahmed Kovacevic, Jon Harrison, and Matthew Read during the Conference. They shared updates and showed how SCORG and GT-Suite can allow efficient optimisation of screw machines.
Sponsor Area
There were many exciting talks and presentations, and although the Conference was held online this year, we were still able to engage with participants through the virtual exhibition. In addition, we showcased our latest developments of the software SCORG and our most advanced cloud solution, SCORG alto.
As a silver sponsor, we prepared valuable gifts. Anyone interested could win branded gifts or a free licence. It was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better.
Short Course
The Conference was followed by a virtual Short Course and Forum on Computation Fluid Dynamics in Rotary Positive Displacement Machines, 9th – 10th September 2021. The forum provided test results of dry air and oil-injected twin screw compressors, a roots-blower, a dry air single screw expander and an ORC vane expander data for benchmark studies.
This short course/forum will benefit engineers, engineering managers and specialists from industry, students, researchers and educators from academia, and anyone interested in the modelling and design of rotary positive displacement machines.
