FM207 will give students hands-on experience using PIPE-FLO’s System Cost calculations in a Virtual Instructor Lead Training (VILT) environment to evaluate a piping system from a cost perspective. Using the cost calculation settings and the System Power Cost report, students will learn how to account for the cost of power added and lost in the piping system. Exercises will demonstrate how changing system configuration, appropriately sizing and selecting equipment, and choosing equipment location can impact the cost of power for the system..

Course Objectives:

• Gain hands-on experience using PIPE-FLO’s power cost calculations to evaluate power addition and losses in a piping system
• Learn how to design a piping system to minimize the power costs of the system
• Student exercises: Understanding power cost calculations in PIPE-FLO, Hidden value and costs in a piping system, Designing for minimal operating costs, modifying systems to reduce a system’s carbon footprint

Recommended Prerequisites: FM-101
