Software Features

  • The software is designed for English and Metric units
  • User can analyze up to 10 layers of refractories
  • Five what-if analysis can be performed simultaneously to compare results
  • Cold side emissivity is factored in the calculations
  • Natural/Forced convection on cold side with entry of air velocity on cold side
  • Options to select process gas on the hot side are Air, Hydrogen, Nitrogen & Argon
  • Grid size of 0.001 in/0.025 mm is used to divide each layer for accuracy
  • Conductivity change with temperature is factored in the calculation
  • Conductivity adjustments for gas entrapped pores are incorporated
  • The software allows radiation between 2 adjacent surfaces with gaps
  • The user can run heat loss calculations for both straight and curved walls
  • The user can select Vertical, Horizontal Top or Bottom walls as surface orientation
  • The software comes with a database of 36 refractories from 8 different product class.
  • Database of 800+ refractories from reputed manufacturers are available as an add-on
  • Provides the user with a tool to create new refractory data base
  • Time dependent Transient Analysis can be performed using Finite Difference Modeling
Results

Results include junction temperatures, temperature profile in the refractory layers, Heat Loss & Heat Storage per unit area. For Transient Analysis the output includes junction temperature with time, heat flux with time and heat storage with time.

Reports

Results from each calculation can be displayed in a report format and can be directly printed or converted to PDF format.

Excel Spread Sheet

The results can be exported to an excel spread sheet.

Operating System

The new software is developed with dot net technology and runs seamless on Windows 8, 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11

Customers Logo

Customer’s logo is fitted with the software if requested by the customers.

Result Verifications
