Industrial Systems and Equipment Assessment Tools

The Department of Energy (DOE) has developed the following tools to improve the efficiency of specific systems and pieces of equipment in industrial facilities:

  • Steam System Modeler: The properties and equipment calculators in this tool allow the user to input the metrics of their system, generate a list of detailed steam specific steam properties, and test a variety of adjustments on individual equipment. 
  • The Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST): This tools helps industrial users survey process heating equipment that consumes fuel, steam, or electricity, and identifies the most energy-intensive equipment. 
  • AIRMaster+: This tool helps industrial users analyze energy use and savings opportunities in manufacturing compressed air systems. 
  • Pumping System Assessment Tool: This tool helps industrial users assess the efficiency of pumping system operations. PSAT uses achievable pump performance data from Hydraulic Institute standards and motor performance data from the MotorMaster+ database to calculate potential energy and associated cost savings. 
  • Fan System Assessment Tool: This tool helps industrial users quantify energy use and savings opportunities in manufacturing fan systems. Use FSAT to understand how well your fan systems are operating, determine the economic benefit of system modifications, and establish which options are most economically viable when multiple opportunities exist for system modification.
