    Cost of energy for pressure drop across filters

    Thanks bimr. This is the formula I was looking for. Increase in flow with the reduction in the pressure loss is not going to be a problem as we are putting VFDs on the motors. Thank you guys for your responses. Really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!

    Cost of energy for pressure drop across filters

    Thanks 1gibson for you reply. I already tried to use that by converting the psi to ft. of head and calculate the horsepower for the reduction, but these are huge pumps I am talking about 200 hp each (3 pumps), 2500 gpm per pump. With the reduced head it does not fall in the pump operating...

    Cost of energy for pressure drop across filters

    Hi Everyone, I want to estimate the cost of pressure loss across filters in a pumping system. These filters are located ahead of the heat exchangers in an open loop. Right now we are use 25 micron filters and I am suggesting that we do not need that much filtration for the cooling tower and...
