Filter pressure-drop savings estimate calculator

The example treats 4 psi of avoidable loss as about 2% extra energy.

Units
Sfilter=Cenergy×0.005×ΔpS_{\text{filter}} = C_{\text{energy}} \times 0.005 \times \Delta p

Worked example

Given

  • CenergyC_{\text{energy}} = 38,000 $/yr
  • Δp\Delta p = 6 psi
Sfilter=38,000×0.005×6=1,140S_{\text{filter}} = 38{,}000 \times 0.005 \times 6 = 1{,}140
