Use the Vacuum Ejector Compressed Air Cost Calculator to estimate annual compressed-air cost of a venturi/ejector from rated air consumption and duty. The calculator uses Ejector compressed-air consumption, Duty cycle, Operating hours per year and Compressed-air cost per m³(ref) and reports annual air volume and cost.
Read the result in the context of the selected units and pressure basis. For this tool, the primary outputs are annual air volume and cost. Change one input at a time when comparing scenarios so the effect of each variable remains clear.
PneumaForge applies this verified method: Consumption × duty × time × specific air cost. The functional engine is shared with related tools in the vacuum-economics family, while this page solves the specific intent represented by vacuum ejector air cost calculator.
Consumption × duty × time × specific air costReproducible example: start with the calculator's default values (Ejector compressed-air consumption = 300; Duty cycle = 50; Operating hours per year = 4000; Compressed-air cost per m³(ref) = 0.02) and calculate the result. Then change the variable most relevant to your application and compare the new annual air volume and cost against the baseline.

It is designed to estimate annual compressed-air cost of a venturi/ejector from rated air consumption and duty. The reported outputs are annual air volume and cost.
The calculator uses Ejector compressed-air consumption, Duty cycle, Operating hours per year and Compressed-air cost per m³(ref). Only use values that represent the same operating condition or design case.
The calculation follows: Consumption × duty × time × specific air cost. The page also states the assumptions that define where the method is valid.

Yes. PneumaForge converts supported units through canonical engineering units. For compressed-air reference flows and pressure bases, the reference pressure and temperature must also remain consistent.
