Compressed Air Flow Model
This is one of the analytical tools Peak kW uses to model compressor performance, energy consumption, and operating cost across different control strategies. Built on DOE reference curves with CAGI data integration, it gives you a window into how we approach system analysis before we ever set foot in your compressor room.
● DOE Reference Curves
● CAGI Data Integration
● Pressure Correction
● Multi-Control Strategy Modeling
Interactive tool. Enter your compressor data to model performance curves and energy consumption.
What This Tool Demonstrates
This flow model is one piece of the analytical framework Peak kW uses during every compressed air assessment. It shows the level of engineering rigor we bring to your facility.
Control Strategy Comparison
See how different compressor control methods (modulation, load/unload, VSD, centrifugal) behave at partial load. The difference between control strategies at 50% capacity can be 30-40% in energy cost.
Real CAGI Data Integration
This tool accepts actual manufacturer CAGI data sheets, not textbook assumptions. When we assess your system, we model your specific compressors with their published performance data.
Pressure Correction Modeling
Operating at a different pressure than the compressor was rated for changes everything. This tool applies the Compressed Air & Gas Institute correction factor to give you accurate numbers at your actual operating pressure.
This Is a Sample. The Real Analysis Goes Much Deeper.
This tool models a single compressor against DOE reference curves. When Peak kW assesses your facility, we model your entire system: multiple compressors with different control strategies running in parallel, real-time demand profiles logged over 7-14 days, pressure losses across your distribution network, and interactions between machines that no calculator can capture.
If you found this tool useful, imagine what a full metered assessment reveals. The average facility discovers $80K-$180K in annual savings per 1,000 HP.
