Compressed air leak cost calculator
Estimate annual air loss, electricity use and cost from measured leak flow and compressor station data.
Enter your own data. Flow and specific energy must use the same gas volume reference conditions. Hours: 0 to 8760.
Enter four non-negative values; annual hours must not exceed 8760.
Calculation: flow × hours = volume; volume × specific energy = energy; energy × tariff = cost.
Interpreting the result
This estimates energy cost attributable to lost air, not guaranteed savings after repair. It does not convert dB into flow. Actual savings depend on compressor operation and control; compare before and after repair under comparable loads.
