For pneumatic systems working with vacuum (negative pressure) the standard power values [W] as shown in Table 8 shall be used.

Fuel saving technologies can be considered by subtracting the corresponding power demand from the power demand of the baseline compressor.

The following combinations of technologies are not considered:

  1. (a)

    ESS and clutches

  2. (b)

    Visco clutch and mechanical clutch

In case of a two-stage compressor, the displacement of the first stage shall be used to describe the size of the air compressor system
