关于客户
Modine Manufacturing Company 是一家设计、制造和测试传热解决方案的国际公司。它们服务于广泛的行业,包括汽车、农业设备和建筑设备。 Modine 业务的很大一部分是供暖、通风和空调 (HVAC)。他们专注于设计传热组件和系统,提供散热器、柴油发动机增压空气冷却器、油冷却器、废气再循环冷却器、空调系统冷凝器和蒸发器以及电动汽车电池冷却器等产品。 Modine 是一家跨国公司,2016 财年收入为 14 亿美元,总部位于威斯康星州拉辛,业务遍及北美、南美、欧洲、亚洲和非洲。
挑战
Modine Manufacturing Company 是一家全球传热解决方案提供商,其计算流体动力学 (CFD) 模拟面临着挑战。他们在北美的工作站计算系统相对较大,但缺乏内部网格计算环境。这些工作站拥有 10 个核心和 64 GB 内存,受到内存和计算带宽的限制,限制了它们在模拟中可以使用的并行化量。德国 Modine 每五年更新一次网格,拥有 32 个处理器并计划进行扩展。然而,该公司希望消除模型中的假设,这增加了复杂性并增加了模型大小。他们还想做更多的瞬态模拟,这是需要很长时间才能运行的复杂模型。在十个核心上运行瞬态模拟大约需要三个月的时间,这实际上是不可能的。他们意识到,如果不购买自己的计算设备,他们就没有计算能力来快速研究方法,这将大大延迟他们的开发。
解决方案
Modine Manufacturing Company 求助于云计算解决方案 Rescale 来克服挑战。由于 Rescale 的易用性,其他 CFD 工程师在 STAR-CCM+ 研讨会上向他们推荐了 Rescale。 Rescale 的图形用户界面 (GUI) 使 Modine 的工程师无需任何编码即可轻松上传文件、运行模拟和下载结果。 Rescale 还提供了每小时的前期成本,并允许 Modine 设置运行时间限制以防止超出预算。 Modine 使用 Rescale 的免费试用版来运行快速瞬态模拟,并比较在 Rescale 上运行所需的时间。他们能够运行一个需要三个月才能运行的大型模型,而在 Rescale 上只需几天即可运行。 Modine 购买了 STAR-CCM+ 的 Power On Demand 许可,这为他们提供了每小时无限的内核。他们使用 Onyx 和 Nickel 核心类型对大约 500 个核心进行瞬态共轭传热 CFD。

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
