A quick estimate of "Liquid Ring (NASH)" type vacuum pump absorbed power or BkW can be

done by the following equation:

BkW = 21.4*(Size Factor)0.924

Size factor can be calculated using the following equation: Size factor Range = 0.02 to 16

SF = Equivalent Air flow Rate in kg/h at 20°C (68°F), Ma / Evacuated System Operating
Pressure in torr (mm Hg), Psys 

Equivalent Air flow rate @20°C can be calculated by the following equation:

Ma = G*√((273.15 + T)*28.96 / (293.15*MW))

where:

G = mass flow rate of suction gas to vacuum pump, kg/h

T = temperature of suction gas, °C

MW = molecular weight of suction gas, kg/k-mol
