These test results are:  Coke machine at the Coca-Cola service department.   The units temperature reduced about 7 degrees, the humidity dropped about 9.7% during the two week period.  The largest factor to change was the duration between run times of the unit.

As of 1/14/98 according to CLECO (Central Louisiana Electrical Co-Operative) 2,088 run time hours saved equates to 3,007 Kilowatt hours saved.  CLECO rates are approximately $0.07 cents per Kilowatt hour. (3,007 KwH x $0.07 cents = $210.00/year savings per machine )* 

*Electrical fees vary from state to state.  Some rates may be lower or higher.
