Concepts NREC: the solution for the design and optimization of turbomachinery

Concepts NREC is a leading company in the design and optimization of machinery, thanks to its advanced software for the design of turbomachinery. Concepts Nrec products are used in a wide range of applications, including energy production, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and naval industry.

Axial, COMPAL, RITAL, PUMPAL, and AXCENT are some of Concepts Nrec’s most successful products, used for the design and optimization of turbomachinery, such as compressors, turbines, and pumps.
Axial is a meanline design and analysis tool for multistage axial turbomachinery, including compressors, gas, steam, and hydraulic turbines, and pumps. AXIAL™ supports the analysis of design and off-design points for subsonic and supersonic projects thanks to an advanced formulation based on pressure.

COMPAL uses a meanline approach to quickly design and analyze radial and mixed-flow compressors for single or multiple stages. COMPAL® is used to design the compressor stage, analyze performance, refine parameters with data reduction, and model the machine based on a range of performance models. COMPAL’s unique design wizard guides the user through all the necessary stages for design, analysis, and data reduction. The meanline compressor design can be easily transferred to the AxCent® program for further blade design and fluid dynamics analysis.

RITAL is used to design radial and mixed-flow turbines with a meanline approach. RITAL™ is used to design the turbine stage, analyze performance, refine parameters with data reduction, and model the machine based on different performance models. RITAL’s unique design wizard guides the user through all the necessary stages for design, analysis, and data reduction. The meanline turbine design can be easily migrated to the AxCent® program for detailed blade design and fluid dynamics analysis.

PUMPAL uses a meanline approach to design centrifugal and mixed-flow pumps with single and multiple stages. PUMPAL is used to design the stage, analyze performance, refine parameters with data reduction, and model the machine based on different performance models. PUMPAL’s unique design wizard guides the user through all the necessary stages for design, analysis, and data reduction. The meanline pump design can be easily transferred to the AxCent® program for further blade design and fluid dynamics analysis.

AxCent® is used for detailed 3D geometric design and rapid analysis of the flow of multistage axial and radial turbomachinery through flow line curvature. AxCent uses powerful functions for axial, mixed-flow, and radial geometries that can be combined to design almost any turbomachinery
