How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various asphalt paver models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Asphalt Pavers
Asphalt pavers are specialized construction machines used to lay asphalt on roads, bridges, parking lots, and other surfaces. They ensure a smooth and uniform surface before compaction.
- Small Asphalt Paver 100 HP: Ideal for small roads, driveways, and patchwork.
- Medium Asphalt Paver 150 HP: Suitable for urban road construction and resurfacing.
- Large Asphalt Paver 200 HP: Designed for highways and heavy-duty paving projects.
- Electric Asphalt Paver: A modern, low-noise, zero-emission alternative for urban environments.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Maintain a steady paving speed to avoid excessive fuel consumption.
- Ensure proper machine maintenance and timely filter changes.
- Minimize idling time during project downtime.
- Use the right paver size for the project to avoid unnecessary fuel use.
