Calculate Your Energy Savings with Fisher Energy Responsible Web Tool
September 30, 2011
This tool provides an estimate of the pneumatic energy being used by instruments at steady state. Change the settings for the price of natural gas, carbon credit, or electricity rates.
The tool is based only on a single aspect of pneumatic steady state consumption. All steady state consumption values used in the tool are provided from the applicable manufacturer's product bulletin's specifications. Other than the steady state aspect, the pneumatic energy consumption of the instrument depends on several other aspects of the process loop components, including, without limitation:
- The control valve and/or actuator design and performances
- Calibration and tuning of the field instruments (controllers, positioners, transducers, regulators, relays, volume boosters, etc.)
- Supply pressure (20 psig, 35psig, etc.)
- Quality of the supply media
- The control loop performance
- Instrument dynamic response
