The idea of designing its own products led to the formation of the R&D department in line with need generated over the years, technological developments, and company policies. In addition to its duties in the engineering, application, and documentation stages of production, Dalgakıran R&D also supports the development of new products and new technologies and project solutions.

Today, Dalgakıran Compressor has more than 50 full-time R&D personnel, including experienced designers and technicians with experience and know-how in the field of R&D as well as young engineers with PhD, MSc, and BSc degrees.

Dalgakıran Kompresör’s R&D team has a powerful and dynamic staff and works on machinery that will create not only today’s technology but that of the future, too. In parallel with this approach, the R&D team continues to grow in strength every day by recruiting talents who have made success their watchword and it produces value quickly for Turkey beyond Dalgakıran Kompresör.

In new product studies from the idea stage through to mass production, the R&D department carries out all engineering calculations, three-dimensional detail and concept industrial designs, analysis studies, prototype studies, performance tests under severe conditions, acoustic tests, thermal tests, longevity tests, plus electrical and functional tests using the latest software and testing/measuring equipment.

One of the most important reasons for Dalgakıran Kompresör’s rapid development and its prominence in international competition is the strategic importance it attaches to R&D. The investments made by Dalgakıran Kompresör to rapidly keep track of world developments as they happen stem from its passion to create superior machines that produce their own technology and at the highest level of quality. Dalgakıran Kompresör allocates 2% of ifs turnover to R&D spending and is well on its way to achieving its goal of being one of the world’s top five compressor manufacturers by further strengthening its competitive position in the industry.

Once the product design is finalized, the machines are subjected to computer analyses in many areas before the prototype stage where their performance under working conditions will be evaluated. The advanced analyses carried out here such as structural, fluid, thermal, solid body dynamics, vibration analyses and topology optimisation are vital parts of compressor design. 

For example, these advanced fluid and thermal analysis are conducted frequently when designing the product’s cooling systems. In addition to this, advanced fluid and structural analyses which take into account operating conditions (because they are going to operate in conditions that require extreme thermal resistance and pressure strength) are made of critical parts that will be subjected to high pressures and temperatures.
