CFM to kW Calculator

Calculate CFM to kW





Formula

To calculate the power in kilowatts:

\[ kW = \frac{CFM \times \text{Electricity Cost}}{\text{Efficiency} \times 3412} \]

Where:

What is CFM to kW Conversion?

CFM to kW conversion is a calculation used to determine the power required to move a certain volume of air. This is particularly useful in HVAC systems and other applications where air flow is a critical component. The conversion takes into account the efficiency of the system and the cost of electricity to provide a measure of the power in kilowatts.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ kW = \frac{1000 \times 0.12}{0.85 \times 3412} = 0.0418 \text{ kW} \]

The power required is approximately 0.0418 kW.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ kW = \frac{2000 \times 0.15}{0.90 \times 3412} = 0.0978 \text{ kW} \]

The power required is approximately 0.0978 kW.
