PROTO-FLO™ has the essential features needed to tackle any computer modeling
and performance analysis in a thermal-hydraulic system, regardless of complexity.
PROTO-FLO calculates steady-state incompressible flows, pressures and temperatures
in piping systems, and models pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and other components.
Whenever a utility engineer must precisely evaluate the performance of power plant
systems to assess the impact of plant modifications or changes, to demonstrate
conformance for plant licensing, or to minimize the costs for maintenance and
operations, PROTO-FLO is the software of choice. PROTO-FLO's built-in library of
standard data, with powerful calculation and analysis capabilities, takes the
uncertainty out of computer modeling and plant system evaluations.
Modeling thermal-hydraulic systems with PROTO-FLO provides utility engineers
consistent, reproducible, verifiable, and cost-effective tools for evaluating and
analyzing system procedural and/or equipment changes and the resulting impacts on
overall system performance.
There exists a need within the power industry to perform multiple
evaluations of plant hydraulic systems for a variety of alignments
that consider flow path variations, heat exchanger heat loads,
pump combinations, etc. To meet this need, NAS has developed
advanced modeling software to perform such evaluations
expediently, efficiently and consistently. This software is used by
NAS and utility personnel, alike. It is user friendly, has sufficient
flexibility to meet anticipated modeling needs, and was developed in
accordance with a nuclear grade quality assurance program.
