Leaks that can be found and fixed, as a share of the compressors' electricity

SourceUS Department of Energy guidance on compressed air systems, and our estimate
Notes
  • We heard no leak on the walk, so this share is assumed and the true figure could be close to zero.
  • The guidance puts leaks at 20 to 30 percent of the air where nobody looks for them, and under 10 percent where they are repaired.
  • We count 10 percent as recoverable, and the reading at a meal break replaces it.
