Hydraulic Institute Launches Pump Energy Index Calculator

Hydraulic Institute Launches Pump Energy Index Calculator
Hydraulic Institute with help of its member companies Engineered Software Inc and Intelliquip LLC , developed two different PEI Calculator tools to help pump manufacturers understand the complex test procedure and calculate PEI in a consistent manner. It is designed so that it can be  used in-house and integrated into OEM testing programs, the macro enabled, excel-based tool was developed by Engineered Software Inc. and is exclusively available to HI members.  The online tool, available to the public at er.pumps.org/pei, developed by Intelliquip LLC calculates PEI and presents it in a manner that can also be uploaded into the HI Energy Rating Program.
Both tools will help manufacturer's determine their pumps PEI according to DOE Regulations Each tool walks the user through the calculation process according to the pump type and the requisite section of the DOE test procedure.  Data is collected throughout the process and help text is provided to explain the meaning of different values and the testing options.
