A 240 cfm non-cycling dryer will run at full load for 8760 hours - even if it is only needed for 1000 hours - will consume $1, 051 in electrical energy | 8760h x 1.5kW x $ 0.08/kWh = $1,051 |
The Kaeser TD 61, a 240 cfm cycling dryer, will only run for 1000 hours and will consume only $120 in electrical energy. | 1000h x 1.5kW x $ 0.08/kWh = $120 |
Therefore, the total savings of using a cycling dryer over a non-cycling dryer is over $900! The graph shows a typical air consumption profile. During breaks, low demand periods and shutdown, the Secotec®dryers save energy because the refrigerant system is shut off. The low pressure drop across the Secotec®dryer also contributes to the significant energy savings. |
