🧾 Step-by-Step Thermal Calculation Audit Proof
Useful Thermal Energy Demand (Q_useful)
104.67 kWh useful thermal heat / month100L/day × 0.001163 × (45°C - 15°C) = 3.489 kWh/day
Electric Storage Geyser Consumption & Cost
₹1015.63 / month (137.77 Units @ ₹7.37/unit)(104.67 kWh ÷ 92%) + (0.8 kWh/day × 30d) = 137.77 kWh/mo
LPG Gas Geyser Consumption & Cost
₹843.95 / month (0.993 Cylinders @ ₹850/cyl)104.67 kWh ÷ (181.76 kWh/cyl × 58%) = 0.993 Cylinders/mo
PNG Piped Gas Geyser Consumption & Cost
₹765.22 / month (15.78 SCM @ ₹48.5/SCM)104.67 kWh ÷ (10.7 kWh/SCM × 62%) = 15.78 SCM/mo
IS 2082 & PPAC Water Heating Disclosure:
- Thermal water heating energy equations follow IS 2082:1993 and BEE Star Labeling Schedule 1 test standards.
- 14.2 kg LPG cylinder calorific baseline: 46.1 MJ/kg (181.76 kWh gross). Domestic PNG calorific baseline: 38.5 MJ/SCM (10.7 kWh gross/SCM).
- Calculated energy and cost figures preserve double precision internally while rounding presentation values.

How Geyser Running Costs are Calculated Across Fuels
Running costs are determined by equating the delivered useful thermal energy demand (Q_useful) required to heat water against fuel calorific values and appliance thermal efficiencies under IS 2082 and IS 15558 standards.
Q_useful (kWh/day) = Liters/day × 0.001163 kWh/(L·°C) × (Target°C - Inlet°C)
Electric Monthly Cost (₹) = ((Q_useful ÷ 92%) + Standing Loss 0.8kWh) × 30 days × Electricity Tariff Rate
LPG Monthly Cost (₹) = (Q_useful_monthly ÷ 105.42 kWh/cyl) × LPG Cylinder Price (₹850)
PNG Monthly Cost (₹) = (Q_useful_monthly ÷ 6.634 kWh/SCM) × PNG Tariff Price (₹48.50/SCM)
Worked Example (100L/day @ 45°C): Electric ₹1,033.28/mo vs LPG ₹844.05/mo vs PNG ₹765.33/mo!
