The Fan System Assessment Tool (FSAT) is a software program developed by the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) that helps quantify the potential benefit of using a more optimally configured fan
system to serve industrial processes. FSAT is simple and quick and needs only basic information
about your fans and the motors driving them.
This program will:
- calculate how much energy your fan system is using.
- determine how efficiently your system is operating.
- quantify savings from upgrading your system.
The process of upgrading the efficiency and effectiveness of your fan systems is called optimization.
Optimization of fan systems can take on many forms, but any fan optimization project must meet the
needs of the process and ensure the safety of plant staff.
During the class, participants will:
- explain the benefits of optimizing fan systems.
- calculate the cost of operating fans in their facility.
- explain the interaction between the fan curve and the system curve.
- estimate the overall efficiency of a fan system.
- analyze the optimization potential of fan systems.
- describe how to use FSAT software.
- create an action plan to improve fan system efficiency and reliability in their plants.
- report one concept or technique from the day's program that they consider significant.
The course is $55 and includes training materials, continental breakfast and lunch.
This class was held on November 16, 2007. Another is being planned for May, 2008.
