Flygt Experior™ Calculators
Find your most cost efficient pump solution
Use the Energy Saving section to find out how much money you can save with Flygt Experior™ or other Flygt pump solutions, compared to your current pump system.
To make the complete cost calculations of your pump system, continue with the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) calculator section. The LCC formula used in this tool, is the industry standard formula for LCC calculations.
Default values are based on average global values. Would you have exact values, simply replace the default values.

Static head/total head
The pump system characteristics are described by giving the ratio between the system's static head and total head. A system with a lower ratio will give more energy savings with SmartRun™.
a: static head = 30m/ft
b: total head = 100m/ft
Ratio: Static head/total head = 30/100 = 30%

3. Installation and
comissioning cost (Cin)
Installation and commissioning costs can include the following:
- foundation (design, preparation, concrete and reinforcing, etc.)
- setting and grouting of equipment on foundation
- connection of process piping, electrical wiring and instrumentation
- provisions for flushing or “water runs”
- performance evaluation at start-up.

6. Maintenance and repair
costs (Cm)
The maintenance and repair costs depend on the time and frequency of maintenance, cost of materials and other fixed costs. Maintenance and repair costs include both planned and unplanned maintenance. Unplanned maintenance usually occurs when the pump stops due to clogging.
