Can anyone tell me how many kw a Waeco CF60 would use in a year if continuously running on 240v?

Dave,
As already said, too many variables to give anything like an absolute answer....
but.....
running in a typical traveling 12V environment it will draw an average of about 1 to 1.5 amps over 24 hours each day, say 35 amphours. 35 amphours multiplied by 12 volts is abour 400-450 watthours, say 500 watthours to allow for conversion losses from 240V, so that's half a kwh per day, or about 180 kwh per year.
This will change a lot with loading and operating temperature (inside and out) but is a fair ballpark figure to start with.

Just reread Peter's post above - I have no argument with his 200-450 kwh figure. It's a bit higher than
mine, but we've obviously both followed the same logic to arrive at similar conclusions. Given the diversity of possible operating conditions, both answers are correct!
