Data Time Range: The time range for the data depends on how dynamic the system is.

If the operating system has a constant flow rate and head then a single point
measurement today would be relatively the same as a measurement taken next month.
However, if the system is very dynamic then data will need to be captured for a
longer period of time to ensure the various operating modes are captured.

Losses: By definition those losses are included.

Steps for calculating the optimal values:


1. Calculate optimal pump efficiency, fluid power and pump shaft power
2. Calculate Motor shaft power
a. If a belt drive is specified, calculate the motor shaft power
b. If direct drive, motor shaft power = pump shaft power
3. Select motor size based on required motor shaft power
4. Develop 25% interval motor performance data for EE motor of the selected size
5. Do curve fitting of current from 25% to 1% intervals
6. Do curve fitting of efficiency in 1% intervals
7. Using current and efficiency 1% interval data, calculate balance of motor data
in 1% intervals
8. Calculate required power, motor eff., current, pf from shaft power
9. Calculate annual energy and energy cost
10.Calculate annual savings potential and optimization rating
