- Over-extraction
- Under-extraction
- Cross contamination
- Wasting resources
- Higher Energy Costs
- Trial & Error after commissioning
- Higher Maintenance costs
- Risk of downtime due to unpredicted clogging, cleaning, maintenance
At JOA, we ensure that every system is designed, built, and implemented to meet the highest standards and your specific needs. From initial design through to final commissioning, our expert team manages every detail with precision. Experience the benefit of having all services from consultancy to commissioning under one roof.
What is Air Technical Modeling?
Modeling, particularly in air technical simulations, is a critical process used to design, optimize, and ensure the efficiency of industrial dust collection and vapor extraction systems. By using advanced simulation software, we can predict and enhance the system’s performance, making installations more effective and reducing the need for post-implementation adjustments. Internally the Air Technical Modeling software is called ‘GCM’ (Graphical Computational Modeling) as it calculates and visualizes air flows.
Air Technical Modeling is a comprehensive, data-driven solution designed to simulate and validate designs for industrial dust and vapor extraction systems. It uses a combination of calculations, factory measurements, and pre-engineering inputs to generate accurate simulations. Examples of elements that may be included in the modeling software during the Pre-Engineering phase may include:
- Extraction capabilities
- Optimal Duct Routings
- Equipment layout
- Temperatures and Relative Humidity
- Equipment like filters, scrubbers, cyclones, valves, fans, hoods, heaters, chillers, carousels and piping.
By using Air Technical Modeling, we are able to provide better concept designs and a high reliability on future performance of our systems. The ‘Proven Process’ we follow allows for balanced, stable, and efficient systems that minimize risks and unexpected setbacks during realization and operation.
No operator likes to work in a dusty environment
How Air Technical Modeling Benefits Your Extraction Systems:
- Pre-Engineering Insights: Data-driven modeling, lab results, and factory measurements contribute to the design of economic, long-lasting systems with a meaningful process guarantee. Modeling is an important part of Pre-Engineering Studies where advanced calculations (Flow rate, temperature, energy recovery potential, etc.) are combined with a thorough advice, concept design and budget quotation.
- Scenario Management: The software allows for scenario management, preventing overdesign and minimizing fluctuations, resulting in stable extraction systems. The software integrates detailed data from the pre-engineering phase to model the entire extraction system.
- Visualization and Automation: Offers sophisticated visualization options that help in understanding system dynamics and automating design requirements for precise implementation. It helps showing capacity and pressure of fan requirements, plot velocities (together with CFD Modeling), capacities and temperatures and quickly shows system requirements.
- Performance from Commissioning: Our solutions eliminate the need for post-commissioning optimization, reducing downtime, maintenance and cleaning intervals. It prevents trial & error and ensures balanced extraction systems from the start.
