Sales Talking Point
The higher the CFM, operating hours, electric rate, and static pressure reduction,
the greater the potential savings. Reduced pressure can lower required fan horsepower
while improved cleaning efficiency can reduce compressed air demand.
Fan HP Formula Used
HP = CFM X Static Pressure / (6356 x Fan Efficiency)

Actual savings may vary based on system design, dust characteristics, filter condition,
ductwork, controls, compressed air system performance, and operating environment.
