    Calculation of Power Consumption

    Uploaded by

    Azril Dahari
    This document summarizes the operating costs of a vacuum furnace used for pre-weld and post-weld heat treatment processes. It provides details on power consumption over 4 and 13 hours of operation, respectively, as well as gas and manpower costs. The total operating cost per firing is calculated to be RM5371.497 for pre-weld and RM11806.24 for post-weld treatment. When operating at full capacity with two sets, the total costs are RM10742.99 and RM23612.48, respectively. These costs are compared to operating an air furnace.
