Pressure reduction energy rule calculator

Above 100 psi, a screening model estimates roughly 0.5% energy saved per 1 psi reduction.

Units
Energy saved%=0.5×Δp\text{Energy saved\%} = 0.5 \times \Delta p

Worked example

Given

  • Δp\Delta p = 12 psi
Energy saved%=0.5×12=6\text{Energy saved\%} = 0.5 \times 12 = 6
