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 highlighted the benefits of fan system optimization and examined fan system performance characteristics and practical issues concerning measurement data. The session introduced the DOE's Fan System Assessment Tool (FSAT), powerful analysis software that helps quantify the potential benefits of configuring fan systems for optimal performance, calculate the amount of energy use by a fan system, and estimate fan system efficiency. Participants learned how the software works, what data is required for FSAT, and how to interpret assessment results. |
