Users can compare conventional methods – such as valves for pump control and dampers for fan control – to harnessing variable frequency drives, and see estimated cost savings from installing Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives.

You can enter minimum pump or flow percentages, annual operating hours, cost per kilowatt etc.
