Training Overview

Optimizing industrial fan systems can take on many forms, but any fan optimization project must meet the needs of the process. This 1-day workshop highlights the benefits of fan system optimization and examines fan system performance characteristics and practical issues concerning measurement data. The session introduces the DOE's Fan System Assessment Tool (FSAT), powerful analysis software that helps to quantify the potential benefits of configuring fan systems for optimal performance, calculates the amount of energy use by a fan system, and estimates fan system efficiency.

Benefits

	Calculating the cost of operating fans in your facility
	Understanding the interaction between the fan curve and the system curve
	Analyzing the optimization potential of fan systems
	Creating an action plan to improve fan system efficiency and reliability in your plant
	Experiencing real world examples of technology implementation
	Provision of, and training with, software tools and resources for implementing efficiency improvements
	Networking with professionals in the energy field
	Information about incentive and rebate programs to lower initial cost for replacement and purchases.

Who Should Attend

	Plant and Facility Managers, Energy and Mechanical Engineering staff
	Operation and Maintenance staff
	Energy Professionals
	Industrial and Commercial Facilities
