ANSYS Iberia invited KeelWit Technology to lecture on the use of ANSYS Fluent for energy efficiency projects in industrial plants. Isaac Prada and Ignacio de Vicente presented the improvement of the performance of a combined cycle plant through the design of an optimized exhaust gas pipe for its turbine. KeelWit’s solution allowed to reduce pressure drop linked to the geometry of current’s exhaust duct by 86%, eliminate turbulence and associated internal erosion and maintenance costs as well as an improvement of the overall efficiency of the process through an easier and better thermal insulation of the new exhaust tube. Over 70 attendants from the nuclear, thermosolar and generation plant business attended the seminar, being able to listen to SENER, TERMOPOWER, CIEMAT and KeelWit Technology explaining their use of ANSYS as a basic tool in their projects.

KeelWit has performed a breakage resistance feature test on a guard-rail prototype it has developed as part of its own R+D work at the Energy, Environmental and Technological Research Centre – CIEMAT. CIEMAT’s mission is to contribute to the sustainable development of Spain and its quality of life by promoting and implementing scientific knowledge and technology and its objective is to perform the role of a center of excellence in the scientific and technical areas in which it is involved. Working under this strategic framework with Dr. Marta Serrano from the Structural Materials Division, tests were performed at one of its laboratories in conjunction with KeelWit Technology to develop its device oriented towards improving road safety.
