Diesel vs Electric Irrigation Pump TCO Calculator
Compare 5-year operating cost between a diesel-driven and electric centrifugal agriculture pump for your duty point. Based on industry-average fuel and electricity rates; adjust for your region.
Methodology: electric kWh = HP × 0.746 / motor efficiency (0.90); diesel gph = HP × 0.05 gph/hp at full load (industry rule of thumb). Maintenance: 6% CAPEX/yr diesel, 2% CAPEX/yr electric. References: UC ANR (ca.v046n05p24), Oklahoma State Extension, T&T Power Group. Actual cost varies with motor efficiency, fuel delivery, and duty cycle.
