Thermoflow v26.0 Thermoflow is the leading developer of thermal engineering software for the power and cogeneration industries. Since 1987, Thermoflow's software product line has grown to become the most popular, well-proven, and comprehensive system available today. Thermoflow is a stable, profitable, entirely independent company which has never received funding from any source other than sales to customers who find real value in our products, every day. TEAM PRO automates the process of designing a conventional (Rankine cycle) steam power plant. It is particularly effective for creating new plant designs and finding their optimal configuration and design parameters. The user inputs design criteria and assumptions and the program computes heat and mass balance, system performance, and component sizing. The scope and level of detail in STEAM PRO has been continuously growing since 1990, to the point that the 2008 version has over 1800 user-adjustable inputs. Most key inputs are automatically created by intelligent design procedures that help the user identify the best design with minimal time and effort, while preserving the flexibility to make any changes or adjustments. STEAM PRO is truly easy to use, typically requiring only a few minutes to create a new plant design. It normally computes a heat balance and simultaneously designs the required equipment in under fifteen seconds. When run in conjunction with the optional PEACE module, the programs provide extensive engineering and cost estimation details. STEAM PRO allows you to quickly create steam plant design point heat balances, complete with outputs for plant hardware description, preliminary engineering details, and cost estimate with PEACE. The variety of steam plant configurations is virtually endless. From back pressure units with gas fired boilers without feedwater heaters, to oil-fired boilers feeding straight condensing turbines with a small number of heaters, to coal fired PC boilers, or CFBs feeding single reheat turbines with seven or eight heaters, to supercritical double reheat plants of the largest variety, each with any sort of cooling system, are all easily accommodated in STEAM PRO. GT PRO automates the process of designing a combined cycle or gas turbine cogeneration plant. GT PRO is particularly effective for creating new designs and finding their optimal configuration and design parameters. The user inputs design criteria and assumptions and the program computes heat and mass balance, system performance, and component sizing. The scope and level of detail in GT PRO has been continuously growing since 1988, to the point that the 2008 version has over 3000 user-adjustable inputs. Most key inputs are automatically created by intelligent design procedures that help the user identify the best design with minimal time and effort, while allowing the flexibility to make any changes or adjustments. GT PRO is truly easy to use, typically requiring only a few minutes to create a new plant design. It normally computes a heat balance and simultaneously designs the required equipment in under five seconds. When run in conjunction with the optional PEACE module, the programs provide extensive engineering and cost estimation details. GT PRO now includes a built-in, full-featured scripting language that allows you to add your own logical blocks to models. The GT Inlet Chilling/Heating Coil was augmented by addition of a full-featured hardware model of the coil. The new model includes full flexibility in design-point sizing and in engineering selection of materials and tube/fin geometry. THERMOFLEX+PEACE now includes a new comprehensive cost estimate for gas turbine plants, equivalent to what's available in GT PRO+PEACE. Outputs include a detailed overall cost report, cost report breakdowns showing all equipment, material, and labor, a site plan layout diagram, equipment data tables, and an investment report. A Solar PV component was added to THERMOFLEX. This icon models a photovoltaic array to provide estimate of current output power, annual power yield, field size and arrangement, and installed cost. A Wind Farm component was added to THERMOFLEX. This icon models one or more wind turbines and provides current output power, annual yield estimate, field arrangement, and installed wind farm cost. A Fired Boiler Assembly was added to THERMOFLEX. It provides a centralized set of output reports including a Specification detailing weights, dimensions and installed cost estimate, an ASME Heat Balance, Gas & Water data summaries, Plan & Elevation views, TQ diagram, etc. A Plate Heat Exchanger icon was added to THERMOFLEX. It computes heat transfer, heater geometry including plate details and overall weights and dimensions, and provides estimated heater equipment cost. The Gas Turbine Library was expanded to include additional engines and to revise performance and availability for some existing engine specs.
