Hi,
I have a coffee concession within a deli and the owner is concerned about the power consumption of leaving our FB70 on overnight. It is a 2 group and is left idle for 12 hours each day. It is 220Volt, single phase, runs on 3600 standard wattage, and 4600 high wattage. I know very little about electronics and so I can not work out its power consumption.
I am wondering whether we are using more energy leaving it on than if we were to turn it off. I imagine that if it is heating from cold, then it is using the high wattage, while maintaining heat is using lower wattage but over time this would add up. The other issue is that the power used over night is cheaper than the power used during the day and as the landlord's concern is financial (not environmental) this needs to be taken into account.
Has anyone done the maths on this before?
