Representative compressor leak & peak cost scenario
Scénario représentatif — exposition modélisée, pas un résultat client vérifié.
Problème
Facilities track kWh spend but treat compressor leaks and peak-tariff demand as fixed overhead — avoidable load stays invisible until the bill arrives.
Jeu d'entrées
- Baseline 52,000 kWh/mo, tariff $0.13/kWh
- Peak demand share 24%, modeled leak load ~90 CFM equivalent
- Operating hours 5,800 h/yr, target review threshold 10% avoidable load
Perte cachée
Leak load and peak-tariff overlap not separated in budgeting — modeled avoidable cost band ~$980–$1,240/mo on these inputs.
Compressor leak & peak demand
Résultat du calcul
Total bill ~$6,760/mo; modeled avoidable leak + peak component ~$1,100/mo mid-band (~16% of bill in this synthetic scenario).
Leak power draw converted to kWh cost, overlaid with peak-share tariff pressure; compared to user threshold for action prioritization.
Action suggérée
Prioritize leak survey and peak-shaving review on the highest modeled drivers before equipment upgrades.
Impact estimé: Illustrative monthly avoidable-cost band — not measured facility savings.
Note méthodologique
Engineering-style estimate from entered leak proxy and tariff — verify with meter data and maintenance records before capital decisions.
- CFM leak proxy and tariff flat across month
- Peak share entered as percent of bill
- Representative scenario — modeled exposure, not a verified customer outcome.
