The cost savings calculation is based on lowered head losses as a result of the installation and use of ARI air valves on the system. The results were gathered from tests that were performed over a period of time that reflected the changing working conditions at the pump station. The use of the ARI Air Valves resulted in lowered head losses (h) measured in meters and was characteristic at all the pump stations that installed ARI Air Valves.

  1.  Energy Savings measured during the first half of 2008 at specific pump stations using high-voltage pumps.
    Energy savings in kWh for the first half of the year 2008 was calculated according to the formula:
    Economic Efficiency Calculation 1
    h = measured head loss savings
    Q = water volume 1000m³
    0.7 = pump and motor efficiency
    All calculations based on the rate of 0.7401 Rubles/kWh

    Cost Savings Calculations at a Moscow Sewage Station After the Installation of ARI Hydraulic Check Valves

    The cost savings calculation is based on lowered head losses as a result of the installation and use of ARI hydraulic check valves on the system. The results were gathered from tests that were performed over a period of time that reflected the changing working conditions at the pump station.
    The use of the ARI Hydraulic Check Valves resulted in lowered head losses (h) = 0.9m Energy savings in kWh for the first half of 2008 was measured according to the formula:
    Economic Efficiency Calculation 1
    Economic Efficiency Calculation f2
    Q = water volume 1000m3
    0.7 = pump and motor savings
    n = number of check valves
    TiPump = work time of one pump during first half of year 2008 
    QPS = total flow at a particular pumping station
    All calculations based on the rate of 0.7401 Rubles/kWh

    Actual Energy Savings Measurements With the Installation and Use of ARI Air Valves

    Estimated pump energy savings is based on the total specific energy consumption (E) divided by the total volume of water (Q) for a specific time period, With and without the use of ARI Air Valves (U = E/Q).
    To eliminate the influence of different work regimens of the pump station on the savings, a period of 7 days was used for the calculations.
