One picks the right machine for you in under a minute. The other tells you, in dollars, what running it for five years actually costs. Neither asks for your email first.
Four operational questions — duty cycle, pressure target, oil tolerance, install footprint — return one recommended SKU plus a 5-year energy saving figure vs an equivalent fixed-speed competitor. An EMAX engineer reviews every match before a quote is issued.
Model 5-year total cost of ownership for an EMAX PM VSD against a traditional fixed-speed compressor at your own kWh tariff, hours of use, and average load factor. Uses CAGI / DOE / Compressed Air Challenge formulas — honest about the edge cases where VSD savings shrink.
Both tools run on the same series catalogue our distributors quote from. Result accuracy depends on the inputs you give them — the formulas are CAGI / DOE / Compressed Air Challenge with no marketing inflation applied. An engineer review precedes every quote regardless of the tool used.
Send our engineering team your demand profile — duty cycle, leak data, tariff — and we'll return a model recommendation with the assumptions written down. No email automation, no follow-up drip.
