COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS - Vortex Tank
GEM Equipment started using Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in 1994 to aid in the design of equipment that has a critical need for controlled fluid flow. It has been used to fine tune oil flow in GEM fryers and made a large contribution in fryer technology. GEM has also used CFD in the design of hydro pump tanks, retrograde coolers, pneumatic separators, upgrades for existing fryers and other specific processing applications.
