PROATEQ™
will decrease the cost of operating air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration
systems. Annual savings from the use of PROATEQ™
will help meet company goals of energy savings and overhead reduction.
The investment in
PROATEQ™
can usually be recaptured in three business quarters. The following
typical annual return on investment (ROI) figures are based on the graphics
data on the 5-ton compressor with an assumed cost of $0.11 per kWh.
-
The $600 annual savings,
with only a $300 PROATEQ™ investment yields
a 200% annual ROI
($600 ÷ $300 = 2.0
x 100 = 200%).
-
Over five years at $600 per
year, the savings equals $3,000.
-
A $3,000 savings over five
years with only a $300 PROATEQ™ investment
yields a 1,000% ROI. ($3,000 ÷ $300 = 10.0 x 100 = 1,000%.
Large systems such
as chillers will produce a much greater ROI. A typical 700-ton chiller
will contain about 15 gallons of compressor oil, and require only 192 oz.
of PROATEQ™ , or 10% of the compressor
oil volume. These assumptions, based on an assumed cost of $0.11
per kWh, yield the following results:
-
Before PROATEQ™
, a 700-ton system will cost about $26.00 per ton per month to operate.
The monthly utility cost will be about $18,200.
-
After PROATEQ™
, the projected 25% savings will reduce the utility cost about $4,550 per
month. The $4,550 monthly savings, will result in a $54,600 annual
savings.
-
The $54,600 annual savings
with a $11,520 PROATEQ™ investment yields
474% annual ROI.
-
The $273,000 savings over
five years with a $11,520 PROATEQ™ investment
yields an 2,370% ROI.
Larger systems may
realize savings that recapture the investment in as little as one business
quarter. These figures do not include a service charge for installation
or sales tax if applicable. Utility tax savings, energy savings rebates,
savings on maintenance, and savings on the extension of compressor life
are not included in these figures because they are difficult to project
without company specific data. These additional savings will increase
the ROI considerably.
