IAO Engineering Solutions

Energy and Mechanical Audit with CFD Analysis

We evaluate the real behavior of gas flows, temperatures, and pressures within thermal equipment using Computational Fluid Dynamics.

What is CFD Analysis?

Integral Operational Vision

At IAO, we offer advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) services. This precision engineering tool allows us to evaluate three-dimensional and multiphysics behavior within your industrial systems under actual operating conditions. We identify in record time opportunities for efficiency improvement, mechanical reliability, and direct energy enhancement.

Simulation Methodology

The study is carried out through three-dimensional models and computer simulations that reproduce the thermodynamic conditions of your plant.

  • Digital recreation of geometry and flows.
  • Visualization of thermal maps and fluid-structure thermodynamics.
  • Virtual evaluation of improvement scenarios and retrofits before manufacturing physical parts (substantial time and cost savings).
