A common mistake when purchasing an air compressor<\/a> is choosing based on upfront capital cost alone, rather than considering the full cost of ownership. Because energy consumption and equipment maintenance can quickly drive up ownership costs, it is critical to understand what contributes to these expenses at your facility. To get started in your cost savings journey this year, you must first identify the following costs associated with your system.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

According to Energy Star, 76% an air compressor\u2019s total lifetime cost comes from electricity use. This paired with the rising cost of energy means the goal at your facility should be delivering the required demand of air with the lowest amount of energy possible. To calculate compressed air energy costs<\/a> you must first track rated power, motor efficiency, service factor, running hours, and energy rate.<\/p>

  1. Power & Motor Efficiency<\/strong>
    Motor efficiency rating refers to how much input electricity is converted into usable power for compression. Although there is a large range of efficiencies, generally the older and smaller the compressor motor is, the less efficient it is. As an example, a 100 HP premium efficiency motor typically has a motor efficiency rating at around 96%. Review your motor manufacturer\u2019s datasheet to find this efficiency rating.\u00a0<\/li>
  2. Service Factor<\/strong>
    Service factor is a rating applied to a motor that determines how far it can operate over the rated horsepower without damaging the motor. For example, a service factor of 1.15 means the motor can operate at 15% over the rated horsepower, 1.20 equates to 20% over, and so on. It is not a good practice and potentially damaging to continuously operate motors above the rated load in the service factor area. When reviewing compressor capacities, bear in mind some manufacturers promote a full load that utilizes a portion of the service factor.\u00a0<\/li>
  3. Running Hours\u00a0<\/strong>
    The running hours of your unit is the amount of time it is operating at a given power value, usually on a per year basis. This assessment tends to be grouped by labor shifts due to air demand changes between shifts. Continuous running machines typically operate 8,000 hours per year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
  4. Energy Rate<\/strong>
    The energy rate for your area may be obtained from your local power company. For reference, the average power cost per kW is .12 cents in the USA and .33 cents (USD) in Germany.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Maintenance Costs<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

    Even the most reliable machinery requires maintenance to keep functioning at maximum efficiency. Since maintenance requirements vary between compressor technologies, it is essential to have a firm understanding of what you are spending on consumable products, condensate removal, and airend replacement.\u00a0<\/div>
    \u00a0<\/div>
    1. Consumables<\/strong>
      Consumable products include anything that needs to be replaced at regular intervals such as filters, separators, and oil. The rate at which these need servicing can vary\u00a0wildly based on the type of compressor you use. For compressors that are not oil-free, it is important to understand the downstream filter replacement costs as they can quickly add up over time and result in pressure drops that require additional energy to overcome. Oil-flooded machines also require oil to be changed every 6-12 months, while oil-free compressors can last 2-3 years on the minimal oil they need to operate. For operators looking to extend the time between changes, full synthetic oil<\/a> is an ideal solution and offers less downtime and maintenance costs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
    2. Condensate Removal<\/strong>
      While both oil-flooded and oil-free compressors produce condensate, that of oil-flooded units makes a water\/oil mixture which either must be properly disposed of or use a filtration system to separate the oil from the water. Condensate treatment alone can cost up to $50,000 per year and is something to take into consideration when making a compressor decision.\u00a0<\/li>
    3. Airend Replacement<\/strong>
      As compressors age, replacing the airend is often an option to improve overall performance. Depending on the technology, some airends are designed to last 3-5 years while others are rated for 20 years of continuous operation. Replacement costs can run up to 70% of the original purchase price, so assess repair vs. replace carefully.<\/li><\/ol>

      Collecting and tracking these figures may seem at first a daunting task. Tracking these numbers might feel overwhelming, but once you show leadership how much you\u2019re saving\u2014often thousands per year\u2014the effort proves worthwhile and directly benefits your bottom line.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
