    Energy & Leak Audit

    Quantify the annual cost of compressed-air leaks at your facility based on real kW and runtime.

    Energy Leak Audit

    Estimate the annual energy cost of compressed-air leaks using measured leak CFM and system parameters.

    Annual Leak Cost
    $3784
    Leak load: 3.60 kW (3.6% of system)
    Moderate Leak Cost

    Leak losses are costing approximately $3784/yr. Schedule a targeted repair campaign to reduce this below $500/yr.
