About FireCAD Technologies
Boiler design software, written by a boiler designer
Even one percent lost in boiler efficiency costs money every day and adds to emissions. FireCAD gives design engineers the tools to get steam generators right on paper, before steel is cut.
Who we are
FireCAD was founded in 2002 by thermal engineer Narasimha Patrudu. We design boilers and captive power plants, and we make the software we use to do it. The same programs are used by boiler makers and design engineers in India and abroad.
What the software has been used for
- More than 50 cogeneration plants in India, Asia and Africa are in operation with boilers designed by FireCAD, from 10,000 to 250,000 kg/hr.
- One of the world’s largest bagasse boilers, 250,000 kg/hr in Thailand, was designed with FireCAD.
- Heat recovery boilers, biomass boilers, fire tube and water tube boilers, economizers, superheaters and air heaters.
What we make
- FireCAD design modules for grate fired, water tube package and fire tube boilers, and for economizers, superheaters and air heaters.
- KALPA CAD, our general-purpose CAD program that works natively in DWG and DXF.
- Free calculation sheets for the everyday boiler calculations: heat duty, efficiency, combustion, pumps and fans. We publish them for the whole engineering community.
