Run a snail air blower per hour ?
And what is the maximum length of time you can leave them on safely ?

Thanks
Steve

Last time I worked it out I used this website

http://www.sust-it.net/energy-calculator.php

It knows the average UK tariff and you enter the power usage of the item and duration yourself.

A Drieaz Sahara e turbo dryer is rated at 1.9Amps x 230Volts = 437 Watts.


6p an hour then give or take

They will runs for weeks and weeks without problems

Forgot to say that the power rating quoted for the airmover will be at full load so if you have a 3 speed motor and run it on the lower settings it will cost marginally less.
