The facility currently has approximately 4 0 employees within its walls and does a vast number of activities for the larger Delavan organization that currently employs approximately 500 indiv iduals in West Des Moines and Carroll\, Iowa. The 2200 Delavan drive facil ity is primarily separated into 2 different functioning value streams. The 1st value stream is the R&D business\, which has a machining facility tha t conventionally machines components to go into production and development fuel nozzles for the Aero and Industrial fuel nozzle business. Along with the R&D machine shop are facilities to complete ignition and lean blow ou t test at atmospheric conditions (section of a combustor on a jet engine). In addition to the ignition testing\, the engineering team has several sp ray diagnostic equipment for measuring spray distribution and PDPA – Pha se Doppler Particulate Analyzer in order to measure spray and droplet char acteristics on development and production nozzles. To complement the spray analysis\, the engineering team utilized CFD software (ANSYS) and OpenFOA M to predict nozzle stress (LCF and HCF) along with predicting nozzle spra y performance to validate on the spray characterization equipment. A vibra tion table and vibe testing is used to validate our nozzle designs prior t o engine installation. The second part of the business unit is the industr ial fuel nozzle and additive manufacturing value stream. The industrial fu el nozzle team delivers swirlers and fuel nozzles to external customers li ke Siemens\, KHI\, PWPS\, Solar\, & Vericor for ground based power generat ion. The additive team and equipment currently grow (builds assemblies fro m powder and laser welding) for external customer and internal (Collins\, Pratt and Whitney) customers. This part of the value stream is known in th e Collins business as the additive production center of excellence and the product being grown is primarily fuel nozzles\, heat exchanges\, and comp lex aerospace designs where the conventional machine and assembly method s truggles to be an economical option. Materials of focus are Inconel 625 an d Haynes 282 powder that is used to make these complex designs for our cus tomer base.\n\nDirections to the Lab from I-235:\n\nTake the freeway to th e 63rd Street exit and turn south. Turn right onto Grand Ave. Drive approx imately 2 miles until you pass E.P.True Parkway/Railroad Avenue then turn right at the next street onto Delavan Drive. Follow Delavan Drive until yo u arrive at a building with a large "Collins Aerospace" sign on the buildi ng. Use the parking lot in front of the building and come in the front doo r to the lobby. If the parking lot is full use the parking lot behind the building then come in the front door. Stay in the lobby until the tour beg ins.\n\nJames Klemm\, IEEE Life Senior member\, arranged this tour. Jim re tired 14 years ago after working at this facility for 39 years.\n\nAgenda: \n5:30 to 6:00 PM: Final Security Check – must bring your (non-expired) passport\n\n6:00 to 7:00 PM: Tour the Lab – five attendees per tour gui de (5 guides will be available)\n\n7:15 to 8:15 PM: Dinner at The Tavern\, 205 5th Street in downtown West Des Moines (parking is\n\navailable in fr ont or behind the Tavern)\n\nBldg: Collins Aerospace\, 2200 Delavan Drive\ , West Des Moines\, Iowa\, United States\, 50265 LOCATION:Bldg: Collins Aerospace\, 2200 Delavan Drive\, West Des Moines\, I owa\, United States\, 50265 ORGANIZER:jarmstrong@ieee.org SEQUENCE:9 SUMMARY:Central Iowa Section Meeting - Collins Aerospace Lab Tour URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/221912 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The 2200 Delavan Drive facility is a 36\,0 00 sq. ft. facility that is part of the Delavan Fuel nozzle entity which i s part of the larger Collins Aerospace organization.&nbsp\; The facility c urrently has approximately 40 employees within its walls and does a vast n umber of activities for the larger Delavan organization that currently emp loys approximately 500 individuals in West Des Moines and Carroll\, Iowa.& nbsp\; The 2200 Delavan drive facility is primarily separated into 2 diffe rent functioning value streams.&nbsp\; The 1st value stream is the R&amp\; D business\, which has a machining facility that conventionally machines c omponents to go into production and development fuel nozzles for the Aero and Industrial fuel nozzle business.&nbsp\; Along with the R&amp\;D machin e shop are facilities to complete ignition and lean blow out test at atmos pheric conditions (section of a combustor on a jet engine).&nbsp\; In addi tion to the ignition testing\, the engineering team has several spray diag nostic equipment for measuring spray distribution and PDPA &ndash\; Phase Doppler Particulate Analyzer in order to measure spray and droplet charact eristics on development and production nozzles.&nbsp\; To complement the s pray analysis\, the engineering team utilized CFD software (ANSYS) and Ope nFOAM to predict nozzle stress (LCF and HCF) along with predicting nozzle spray performance to validate on the spray characterization equipment.&nbs p\; A vibration table and vibe testing is used to validate our nozzle desi gns prior to engine installation.&nbsp\; The second part of the business u nit is the industrial fuel nozzle and additive manufacturing value stream. &nbsp\; The industrial fuel nozzle team delivers swirlers and fuel nozzles to external customers like Siemens\, KHI\, PWPS\, Solar\, &amp\; Vericor for ground based power generation.&nbsp\; The additive team and equipment currently grow (builds assemblies from powder and laser welding) for exter nal customer and internal (Collins\, Pratt and Whitney) customers.&nbsp\; This part of the value stream is known in the Collins business as the addi tive production center of excellence and the product being grown is primar ily fuel nozzles\, heat exchanges\, and complex aerospace designs where th e conventional machine and assembly method struggles to be an economical o ption.&nbsp\; Materials of focus are Inconel 625 and Haynes 282 powder tha t is used to make these complex designs for our customer base.</p>\n<p>Dir ections to the Lab from I-235:</p>\n<p>Take the freeway to the 63rd Street exit and turn south.
