Conventional steam cycle design program to create cycle heat balance and physical equipment needed to realize it.
STEAM
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.
Samples
Below is a sampling of the variety of plants that you can generate in a matter of minutes. While only an overview graphic is presented to describe the case, each run provides between 50 to 110 reports consisting of well-organized overview summary tables, detailed equipment descriptions, and informative graphical displays.

We invite you to order a restricted trial version of our software suite. The free trial package comes with working versions of our software with restrictions on only a few of the thousands of program inputs. The package also includes THERMOFLEX LITE, a free version of THERMOFLEX which you can use to construct numerous models of practical systems. |
