FloPro Designer

FloPro Designer software is as intuitive as a sketchpad, but greatly more capable. With FloPro Designer, users can conduct a detailed heat loss analysis, lay out near boiler and system piping, size and select all system components (including boilers), develop a materials list and generate a variety of professional-looking documents.

FloPro Designer gets an update

We recently completed the most comprehensive and powerful update yet of FloPro Designer 3.0, to make your job even easier. These new enhancements mean more time savings and an easier workflow. Check out the features below or go straight to the download to update your FloPro Designer. Download FloPro Designer 3.0

  • The "side drawing" capability now allows installers to draw up a complete boiler room to scale with every component, pipe size and length, pump model, ball valve and boiler type included. Designer can draw the picture, print it out and give it to an installer who takes the illustration to the job to be installed exactly as shown.
  • Updated boiler wizard makes drawing an entire mechanical room as easy as answering a few questions.
  • New "Cycle Annotations View" toolbar button makes working with text annotations a snap.
  • Added more floor plan detail.
  • Added condensate neutralizers for use with condensing boilers.
  • Added glycol feed system.
