Get the Power Design Pro Enhancements!

Exhaust Piping Module Added 

Generac Power Systems, Inc., has enhanced its award-winning Power Design Pro™ generator sizing software with a comprehensive new exhaust piping module.

"When exhaust piping is sized incorrectly, engine back pressure could exceed recommended limits and cause the generator to fail," says Michael Kirchner, technical support manager, Generac. "The new exhaust piping module for Power Design Pro eliminates manual calculations and removes all of the guesswork from sizing the exhaust pipe. In doing so, it makes our already advanced generator sizing program that much more effective."

The exhaust piping module allows you to enter the length of the exhaust piping run and the number of various elbow types. It then automatically selects the appropriate exhaust piping for a selected generator. The module also allows you to manually select the pipe size, after which it calculates the engine's exhaust back pressure. The exhaust piping module supports single and dual exhaust engine configurations.
 
This enhancement alone makes the Power Design Pro software an outstanding resource for engineers and standby power specifiers. If you already are using Power Design Pro, the application will check for updates each time it runs and automatically install the updates.
