Compressors' share of the electricity bill

Value12 percent
Default12 percent
Low8 percent
High18 percent
SourceOur estimate, from the compressors' rated power in the plant's records
Notes
  • The records list two compressors of 75 horsepower each, about 112 kW together.
  • Over the 6,000 hours per year the presses are scheduled, that is about 11 percent of the bill at 10 cents per kWh.
  • At full load a compressor draws a little more than its rating, so we count 12 percent until the hours on each panel are read.
