Configuration of LD500
Home → Configuration
In the configuration settings, the unit system can be se-
lected and the required parameters entered to calculate
the leakage costs per year.
➔ Select ISO or US unit system
➔ To define the costs, call up the text field "Costs/1000
Nm³"
➔ Enter working hours per year (compressed air system
is operated actively)
There are 2 variants available to define the costs:
• Standard mode: Cost per 1,000 volume units. The
costs and the currency can be entered directly. Standard
value: €19 / 1,000 m³ or €0.58 / 1,000 cf.
• Expert mode: The electricity costs/kWh as well as the
specific output of the system can be defined here in de-
tail.
The specific output refers to the efficiency of the com-
pressor system. For example, how much electrical en-
ergy (kWh) is required to produce 1 cubic metre of com-
pressed air (m³). Three predefined system values are
created for this, as well as a user-defined input field for
individual entry.
The cost type can also be set in expert mode. The "Electricity costs [70%]" are calculated by the "con-
sumed electrical energy" of the compressed air system, which typically represents 70% of the total
costs. For "Total costs [100%]", the investment and maintenance costs are taken into account, which
are in addition to the electricity costs over the entire service life of the compressors.
