Profile: Concepts NREC is a full-service turbomachinery design and development organization. We provide manufacturers, users, government agencies, and the engineering community with software (CAE/CAM), services & products for their turbomachinery requirements. We can provide all the resources required to develop complete solutions from concept through detailed engineering, product design, prototype production, performance testing, and product manufacturing. We can supplement a client's in-house capabilities with advanced engineering and proven expertise in any or all phases of project development. Working from existing specifications or only a statement of the desired requirements, we can design, manufacture & test a wide variety of precision turbomachinery components and products, as well as solve difficult engineering problems to improve efficiency, performance & manufacturing. We are a complete design & development resource for many types of specialized industrial, commercial, and military equipment incorporating centrifugal, mixed-flow & axial compressors and pumps, radial-inflow & axial turbines, blowers, heat exchangers & combustors. Our services range from a basic design audit to total product solutions, including precision prototypes, the manufacture & testing of complete systems, and limited-quantity production. We operate extensive performance testing facilities to validate the operating specifications & design objectives of pumps, compressors, and turbines. Each of these facilities can adapt to a wide variety of requirements for evaluating both scale-model prototypes and full-dimension turbomachinery components & complete machines. We have developed unique rigs for determining the forces and moments on rotating impellers, bearings, seals, couplings & other components. These rigs provide a full suite of flow, pressure, temperature, and force measurements for an accurate characterization of performance & rotordynamic characteristics.
