Compressor Energy Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Compressor Energy.
Ec = CP * T * 60
Variables:
- Where Ec is the Compressor Energy (Joules)
- CP is the compressor power usage (watts)
- T is the time of usage (min)
How to Calculate Compressor Energy?
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed in order to calculate the Compressor Energy.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the compressor power usage (watts). In this example, the compressor power usage (watts) is measured to be 58.
- Next, determine the time of usage (min). For this problem, the time of usage (min) is calculated to be 49.
- Finally, calculate the Compressor Energy using the formula above:
Ec = CP * T * 60 = (Joules)
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Ec = 58 * 49 * 60 = 170,520 J
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the needed variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are provide as:
compressor power usage (watts) = 4
time of usage (min) = 56
Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us:
Ec = 4 * 56 * 60 = 13,440 (Joules)
