Energy to save

Question

Dear Dr. Brew,
Are there any numbers or research available regarding the
energy savings using the Thermal Pot brewers (example: Axiom Thermal Pot
Brewers) verses the normal glass carafe brewers with double warmers that may run
continually due to constant use?
Thanks,

Answer

Dear Jim,

Warmers are generally in a range from 90 to 130 watts in output to maintain temperature in the server. As an example: a 100 watt warmer, ON for a 10 hour shift would consume 1Kilo Watt Hour. The energy savings between a unit with warmers and units with thermal carafes would be the warmers and the time of usage.

Happy Brewing,
Dr. Brew
