Use the Artificial Demand Savings Calculator to estimate demand/leak reduction from lowering distribution pressure. The calculator uses Baseline pressure-dependent flow, Current upstream pressure, New upstream pressure, Downstream pressure and Specific energy kWh per m³(ref) and reports reduced flow; energy/cost savings.
Read the result in the context of the selected units and pressure basis. For this tool, the primary outputs are reduced flow; energy/cost savings. Change one input at a time when comparing scenarios so the effect of each variable remains clear.
PneumaForge applies this verified method: Compute pressure-dependent demand through the same restriction at old/new upstream pressures with ENG-13; artificial-demand saving is the difference in reference flow and its energy cost. The functional engine is shared with related tools in the pressure-savings family, while this page solves the specific intent represented by compressed air artificial demand calculator.
Compute pressure-dependent demand through the same restriction at old/new upstream pressures with ENG-13; artificial-demand saving is the difference in reference flow and its energy cost.Reproducible example: start with the calculator's default values (Baseline pressure-dependent flow = 2000; Current upstream pressure = 8; New upstream pressure = 7; Downstream pressure = 1.01325) and calculate the result. Then change the variable most relevant to your application and compare the new reduced flow; energy/cost savings against the baseline.
Requires restriction/nozzle model or measured baseline flow; no fixed 13%/bar assumption.
It is designed to estimate demand/leak reduction from lowering distribution pressure. The reported outputs are reduced flow; energy/cost savings.
The calculator uses Baseline pressure-dependent flow, Current upstream pressure, New upstream pressure, Downstream pressure and Specific energy kWh per m³(ref). Only use values that represent the same operating condition or design case.
The calculation follows: Compute pressure-dependent demand through the same restriction at old/new upstream pressures with ENG-13; artificial-demand saving is the difference in reference flow and its energy cost. The page also states the assumptions that define where the method is valid.
Requires restriction/nozzle model or measured baseline flow; no fixed 13%/bar assumption.
Yes. PneumaForge converts supported units through canonical engineering units. For compressed-air reference flows and pressure bases, the reference pressure and temperature must also remain consistent.
