This software enables quick heat flow modeling through furnace, heater, and kiln linings. It is designed for refractory lining thermal modeling.
The program has a user-friendly interface, where materials can be easily dragged and dropped onto a lining model. The materials can then be resized and repositioned with ease. Hot face and ambient temperatures, material thickness, and environmental factors can also be adjusted and are reflected live in the model window. The program also allows multiple resizable windows to be open simultaneously for the comparison of potential linings.
RLTM supports entry of materials in both ASTM and metric systems, and produces results in either system. Lining models can also be printed out and saved to disk for future reference.
The software includes a database structure which enables the easy addition and editing of lining materials. Demo versions of the software are available for download, and once registered, they are fully enabled. The Refractory Lining Thermal Modeller download is a little bigger than 2MB and comes with a sample database and a manual.
The only limitation of the demo version is the use of materials within the sample database. However, instructions for registration through PayPal are included with the download, making the software accessible to all.
Overall, RLTM is an excellent software program for quick and efficient modelling of heat flows through linings in various industries.
