Installed capacity may be larger. Notes. These Prescriptive Incentives apply to single, oil flooded compressed air systems only. Multiple and /or oil free air compressor systems may be eligible for a Custom Incentive but must pass a benefit-cost test. 2. These Prescriptive Incentives apply to air compressors with nameplate ratings > 5 HP and < 75 HP. Air compressors > 75 HP may be eligible for a Custom Incentive. Air compressors rated in kw shall be converted to HP as follows: kw / 0.746 = HP 3. The rated HP of the replacement air compressor shall not exceed the existing air compressor rated HP by more than 0%. Existing compressors replaced with a new, larger compressor (> 0%+/-) will be reviewed under the New Equipment & Construction Program. 4. These Prescriptive Incentives apply to variable speed control (VSD) compressors. 5. These Prescriptive Incentives apply to air compressors with an operating pressure of 45 psi or below. s with higher operating pressures may be eligible for a Custom Incentive. 6. Minimum air storage requirements as specified in the Compressed Air Incentive form must be met and may include existing air storage to meet the requirement. 7. Air compressor must operate a minimum of 2,000 hours a year. 8. Air compressors with VSDs must have as a minimum a 3% impedance series reactor in its AC power input connection.
Instructions for completing the Retrofit COMPRESSED AIR Incentive Worksheet General Notes:. A vendor proposal is required for an Incentive and must include the Compressed Air Plant Proposal Information found on page three in these instructions. 2. The Compressed Air Incentive must be completed and the Incentive approved prior to purchasing and installing the equipment. 3. s under 5 HP are not eligible for Incentives. 4. s over 75 HP are not eligible for a prescriptive Incentive but may be eligible for a Custom Incentive. 5. Invoices will be required for payment of Incentives. 6. The Incentive, in conjunction with all other sources of funding, cannot exceed the total project cost. Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible for Incentives, the equipment must meet the following requirements: s. Nameplate horsepower of compressors must be equal to or greater than 5 HP and less than or equal to 75HP. s with manufacturers ratings only in kilowatts will be assumed to have horsepower ratings equal to kw rating (motor only) / 0.746. 2. Existing compressor being replaced must use modulating control. s with other control methods must use the Custom Incentive process. 3. Prescriptive Incentives are only applicable to single compressor systems. Multiple compressor systems of any size that serve a common distribution system may submit applications as a Custom Incentive. Projects that have multiple and comprehensive measures shall be processed as a Custom Incentive. 4. Prescriptive Incentives are only applicable to compressors with an operating pressure of 45 psi or below. s with higher operating pressures shall be processed as a Custom Incentive. 5. Prescriptive Incentives are only applicable to oil flooded Rotary Screw s. Other compressor types may be eligible for an Incentive as a Custom Incentive project. 6. control shall be Variable Speed Drive (VSD). 7. s must operate a minimum of 2000 hours a year. 8. Air compressors with VSDs must have as a minimum a 3% impedance series reactor in its AC power input connection.. Primary storage is required on all compressors receiving incentives. 2. Incentives are only available for air storage tank(s) in association with new compressor equipment installations. Dryers. New dryers being installed are not eligible for Incentives.
Calculation of Incentives. Refer to the back side of the Incentive application entitled Retrofit Compressed Air Incentive Worksheet to determine the following incentives as applicable: Air Incentive. Enter air compressor nominal horsepower (from manufacturer s data) in column (A). 2. Enter the air compressor capacity (acfm) (manufacturers rating at the actual compressor operating pressure.) 3. Enter the compressor control code found in Table ¹ Codes & Requirements. 4. Enter if additional storage is to be provided (yes or no). 5. Enter Incentive ($) per HP in column (B) found in Table ² High Efficiency Air Incentive per HP. 6. To calculate the air compressor Incentives multiply the Horsepower from column (A) by the Incentive per HP from column (B). Additional Primary Incentive. In column A, calculate the Minimum Required (gals) by multiplying the Minimum Gallons per for the compressor type found in ¹ Codes & Requirements. Table by the cfm noted in the Incentive Calculation. 2. In column B, calculate the Maximum Eligible (gals) by multiplying the Maximum Gallons per for the compressor type found in ¹ Codes & Requirements. Table by the cfm noted in the Incentive Calculation. 3. In column C enter any existing storage (gals). 4. In column D, calculate the Minimum New Required (gals) by subtracting the Minimum Required, column A from the Existing, column C. 5. In column E, calculate the Maximum New Eligible (gals) by subtracting the Maximum Eligible, column B from the Existing, column C. 6. In column F, enter the to be installed (gals). 7. To calculate the Incentive multiply the to be installed, column F by $2.75/gal. Note that the gallons stated in to be installed, column F can not exceed the Maximum New Eligible, column E. Total Retrofit Compressed Air Incentive. Calculate the total Incentive by summing the Air and Incentives. Post-Installation: Utility Representative must verify that:. The single compressor has been installed and operating as follows: a. System operating pressure psi b. Original primary storage capacity gallons c. Additional primary storage capacity gallons d. Total primary storage capacity gallons e. Final gallons per compressor f. Verify compressor manufacturer, compressor model, horsepower, and rated 2. The compressor matches the Incentive Application information. If the equipment has changed from what was approved for the initial Incentive offer, the substituted equipment specifications must be submitted and reviewed by the utility to verify compliance with technical requirements and approved before an Incentive is considered. 3. The invoice or proof of payment has been submitted. 4. The Utility Representative & Customer have signed & dated the post installation inspection block on the Incentive form.
