READ MORECompressed air is one of the most expensive sources of energy in a plant. The overall efficiency of a typical compressed air system can be as low as 10% to 15%. For example, to operate a 1-hp air motor at 100 psig, approximately 7 to 8 hp of electrical power is supplied to the air compressor. To calculate the cost of
READ MORECompressed air systems are vital to various industries, yet they often go unnoticed. Understanding the cost analysis of compressed air can help you determine the overall expenses incurred. The analysis involves calculating direct and indirect costs, along with identifying energy usage. Compressed air efficiency can also affect costs.
READ MOREUsing our zero loss drains you will save both energy and compressed air. Replacing a manual drain consuming 5 cfm of air in two shifts, with an average of 4,250 hours per year will save around $425 per year. 4. Piping. It is important to use the right piping material and to have adequately sized piping.

READ MOREThe potential power cost savings (520 cfm - 400 cfm = 120 cfm = 24 hp, at 10 cents/kWh; 8,760 hr) is $16,864/year. Also remember that the leakage rate is significantly reduced at lower pressures, and the cost of wasted air volume. Each cfm of air volume wasted can be translated into extra compressor hp and is an identifiable cost.
READ MOREThis value is then multiplied by the total compressed air consumption from above, to give a quantified dollar amount to the compressed air driven device. Using the flow rate from above: If (1) shift is run per day, 5 days per week and 52 weeks per year, this open pipe blowoff will have an annual cost of $2,184.00. Step 4 – Compare.
READ MOREWhen discussing the cost of compressed air, it''s worth mentioning that electrical energy makes up most (80%) of your compressor-related expenses. As a result, many compressed air installations offer significant energy-saving possibilities including energy recovery, pressure reduction, leakage reduction, regulation systems, and controls and
READ MOREIf you know the type of air compressor that you have, you can calculate the amount of compressed air that you can produce per horsepower. As an average,
READ MOREefficiency of a typical compressed air system can be as low as 10-15%. For example, to operate a 1 hp air motor at 100 psig, approximately 7-8 hp of electrical power is supplied to the air compressor. To calculate the cost of compressed air in your facility, use the formula shown below: Cost ($) = where bhp—Compressor shaft horsepower
READ MOREA typical figure used is 30 cents per 1000 cubic feet of air but it can be more in some cases. To calculate the cost of compressed air in your facility, use the following formula: COST =.

READ MOREA 1/16″ diameter hole is going to flow close to 3.8 SCFM @ 80 PSIG supply pressure. An industrial sized air compressor uses about 1 horsepower of energy to make roughly 4 SCFM of compressed air. Many plants know their actual energy costs but if not, a reasonable average to use is $0.25/1,000 SCF generated. Calculation :
READ MOREWhen we calculate the cost and savings for blowing with compressed air we use an estimated price of $0.32 per 1000 cf. The price is based on specific conditions but can use as a good benchmark when comparing and calculating. To find out what your compressed air cost, you must make the calculations based on your own conditions.

READ MOREThose costs can add up quickly: A 1/64″ diameter leak translates to about $47/year. 1/32" diameter leak leads to roughly $198/year. A 1/16" diameter one approximates to $800/year. A significant 1/4" diameter leak can cost around $12,812/year. But leak size isn''t the only factor affecting cost. Your compressed air system''s operating
READ MOREDiscover here what your costs are per year. Just fill in your kW, kW costs and how many hours per year you are producing for a rough estimate. Compressed air is is 8 to 10 times more expensive than electricity due to the large generation of heat. And of the portion that is going to production, studies has shown that up to 50% is being wasted.
READ MOREElectricity. Electricity is the most expensive operating costs associated with compressed air. In fact, when considering all aspects that contribute to how much operating your compressor system costs, electricity makes up ¾ of total costs. Electricity costs can vary depending on the cost per kilowatt hour which can change depending on
