Motor energy used to drive rotating and reciprocating equipment like pumps, fans and compressors, is one of the largest consumers of electricity in industrial applications. To reduce life cycle cost and make more efficient use of energy, the energy costs associated with pumps, fans and compressors should be well understood. AFT Fathom and AFT Arrow can calculate energy costs for pumps, fans and compressors. The user needs to supply electricity costs and lifetime of the system. Additional cost information such as interest rates and inflation can also be input to quantify the impact on net present value.
