3D modelling enables studying of different kind of products and objects before actual manufacturing. 3D models can be used as an aid in manufacturing and marketing of a product, in training or in spare part lists.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) means studying by means of a computer the behaviour of fluids and gases in pipelines and ducts.  This way, Oilon is able to secure that the pressure loss in combustion air ducts remains low and the air flow to the burner remains stable.

CFD and combustion modelling offer information about processes that are difficult or even impossible to verify by any other means. Even though absolute accuracy cannot always be reached, the modelling process offers development data to be used for absolute combustion, and modelling also enables better control and reduction of emissions. This speeds up the product development process, because unfavourable constructions can be eliminated.

Combustion inside a combustion chamber can also be studied by means of CFD. The model offers information about the air flows and temperature distribution in the combustion chamber. The emissions created during combustion can be studied before a burner is delivered to a customer. When studying combustion of liquid fuels, we can see how the fuel evaporates and mixes with the combustion air as well as verify the combustion rate.

Oilon has several years of experience with CFD. Oilon co-operated with Finnish top universities and engineering offices long before the CFD system was taken into use inside the company.
