Pressure Drop Cost Calculator

This calculation is designed to help Electrical Cost Comparison

demonstrate the effects of pressure drop on 200.00
the operating cost of air treatment products
such as air dryers and filters. It is also
important to consider not only the initial, but 180.00
also the saturated and recommended filter
element change pressure drop when
calculating the electrical cost
