FRNC-5PC V9.1

General Purpose Heater Simulation Program

FRNC-5PC is a rating program for general purpose fired heaters. It simulates most heater types, coil configurations, tube and fin types, and external transfer lines. It can simulate the heat recovery sections of all types of furnaces, boilers and turbines. It also has a user friendly graphical input system.

Software Simulation Programs

• FRNC-5PC is a rating program for general purpose fired heaters. Based on user-supplied heater geometry, combustion data, and process information, the program calculates operating parameters such as firing rate, heater efficiency, tube skin temperatures and required tube thicknesses, gas-side temperatures and draft, process temperatures, pressure drop and flow regimes, heat duties and fluxes, and much more.FRNC-5PC simulates entire radiant sections of most heater types, coil configurations, tube and fin types, ducting, stacks, and external transfer lines. FRNC-5PC can simulate the heat recovery sections of all types of furnaces, boilers and turbines.

  FRNC-5PC has a user-friendly graphical input system and multiple, user-controlled output options, such as heater data sheets, graphical output, spreadsheet output and tabular output. The input system contains on-line help and input limit and error checking.
