HVAC Coil Scrap Cost Calculator at 72% scrap cost scope included: a worked example

This worked example runs the hvac coil scrap cost calculator numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 72% scrap cost scope included instead of the typical 100%. Estimate coil scrap cost from scrapped coils, cost per coil, scrap scope, and fixed disposition cost.

The inputs for this scenario

  • HVAC coils scrapped: 72 coils (held at the documented default)
  • Cost per scrapped coil: 41 $ / coil (held at the documented default)
  • Scrap cost scope included: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Fixed disposition or analysis cost: 850 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable coil scrap cost = HVAC coils scrapped × cost per scrapped coil × scrap cost scope included.
  • Total HVAC coil scrap cost works out to 2,975 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Cost per scrapped coil works out to 41.33 $ / coil at these inputs.
  • Variable coil scrap cost works out to 2,125 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed disposition or analysis cost works out to 850 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where scrap cost scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 3,802 $, this scenario comes in 21.74% below the baseline at 2,975 $.
  • Use it at the close of a shift, week, or production run to value coil rejects, or when building the business case for a leak-test or braze-joint corrective action. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Total HVAC coil scrap cost: 2,975 $ (headline result)
  • Cost per scrapped coil: 41.33 $ / coil
  • Variable coil scrap cost: 2,125 $
  • Fixed disposition or analysis cost: 850 $
