Tiivistelmä
Flow efficiency and weight are important parts of hydraulic and pneumatic system’s industry. As manufacturers keep pushing the limits of flow efficiency every year, applications of 3D printing models for hydraulic and pneumatic parts can play an expanding role.
This master thesis describes the redesign of pressing air nozzle with implementation of metal additive manufacturing featured into the new designs. Better Airflow and weight saving were achieved.
A 3D model for the original pressing air nozzle was developed to obtain the flow characteristic data using Ansys software. The pressing air nozzle was modified in CAD system Solidworks. Better air flow was achieved by Optimization the Internal Channel of the pressing Air nozzle. The implication of the new designs also provided weight saving by 70%.
two different designs were suggested. The flow characteristics were obtained for the new designs using Ansys Fluent software. CFD modeling results for the original and two new suggested design were obtained and compared and the enhancing of the flow was calculated. This modification Improved the flow by 50%.
