How to calculate the power consumption of a coffee and snack machine?
How to calculate the power consumption of a coffee and snack machine? One of the main questions from landlords is how much energy your machine consumes. Some even expect a lease with this amount in mind. Together with our senior technician will help you to understand this issue. Many landlords to the cost of rent add the cost of electricity. You can, of course, put a counter. But given that the energy consumption of the coffee machine per month - this is quite a standard value, why arrange extra expenses for yourself? Of course, you cannot count exactly. After a snack and coffee machine power consumption depends on a heap of parameters - up to the temperature in the room. But so that you can imagine the approximate figures, we ourselves conducted the study using the Mercury-201 electricity meter and measured the power consumption of different coffee and snack machines with different loads. Power consumption of coffee machine per month The energy consumption of a coffee machine, primarily depends on its type - soluble or cereal. It's all about the boiler (where the water is heated) - the "soluble" capacity is 3 to 4 liters, while the "cereal" capacity is only 200-300 ml. Therefore, the first type of coffee machines consumption of electricity is 4kW.ch per day, and the second - 3kW.ch per day. The second factor is the workload of the machine. It all depends on the activity of your point. Without sales (at rest), the machine consumes an average of 1.8 kWh per day. If he cooks 50 cups a day, the electricity consumption of the coffee machine will increase to 3 kWh. Power consumption of a snack machine per month Here everything is much bigger and the factors that affect power consumption are much greater:
internal temperature;
factory refrigeration unit;
leakage of cold (distance from the wall, the presence of a closing curtain, a double-glazed window or a simple glass)
And playing on these parameters, you can seriously save! First, by adjusting the internal temperature. If we have an external temperature of 20 degrees, we can get this energy consumption:
5 degrees - 5.5 kWh per day
10 degrees - 5 kWh per day
15 degrees - 4.5 kWh per day
