Vacuum air cost
Estimate annual compressed-air energy cost for pneumatic vacuum generators from air consumption, generator count, duty cycle, hours, and energy price.
Calculation reference
The calculator treats ejector air consumption as a compressed-air demand and applies duty cycle, compressor specific power, and energy price.
Engineering guide
Calculate vacuum generator cost calculator from application data and interpret the result for preliminary pneumatic engineering review.
Enter the known application values, including Air consumption per generator, Generator count, Duty cycle.
Run the calculation using one consistent set of units and reference conditions.
Review Total air demand, Active average flow, Annual energy, then compare the result with the component datasheet and application margin.
Use absolute pressure for evacuation and leakage calculations, and pressure differential for holding-force calculations.
Verify surface condition, cup material, acceleration, leakage, load orientation, and loss-of-vacuum behavior on the machine.
