ROI Calculator FAQs
Is this ROI calculator an exact savings guarantee?
No. The calculator is designed to provide an indicative estimate only. Actual savings depend on your air demand profile, compressor control strategy, pressure settings, leakage levels, system layout and electricity tariff.
What is a variable speed compressor?
A variable speed compressor adjusts motor speed to match changing air demand more closely. In the right application, this can reduce wasted energy compared with a fixed speed compressor running inefficiently at part load.
What load factor should I use?
If you do not know your exact average load factor, 60% to 70% is a reasonable starting estimate for many sites. For a more accurate result, we recommend reviewing logged operating data.
Why does payback depend on investment cost?
Payback is calculated by comparing your estimated annual savings with the cost of the proposed upgrade. The lower the installed cost or the higher the annual saving, the faster the payback period.
Can you provide a more accurate savings assessment?
Yes. Tanair Compressors can assess your operating profile and site conditions to give a more tailored view of potential savings, system suitability and likely return on investment.
