English free no
Pumping System Assessment Tool US departement of energy Energymanagers, consultants It relies on field measurements of flow rate, head, and motor power or current to perform the assessment. Using algorithms from Hydraulic Institute (HI) standards  PSAT estimates existing pump and motor efficiency and calculates the potential energy/cost savings for a system opti-mized to work at peak efficiency. English free no
Fan System Assessment Tool US departement of energy Energymanagers, consultants FSAT is simple, quick to use, and only requires basic information about fans and the motors that drive them.  With FSAT, users can calculate the amount of energy used by a fan system, determine system efficiency, and quantify the savings potential of an upgraded system. The tool also provides a prescreening filter to identify fan systems that are likely to offer optimization opportunities based on the system’s control, production and maintenance, and effect.  FSAT estimates the work done by the fan system and compares that to the system’s estimated energy input. Using typical per-formance characteristics for fans and motors, indications of po-tential savings (in energy and dollars) are developed. English free no
