2. 1. Energy Efficient Textile Drying

   Author : Lena Brunzell; Bengt Månsson; Roger Renström; Jonas Berghel; Odilio Alves-Filho; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; tumble dryer; drying; textile; energy and mass balance; control strategy; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : Traditionally, textiles were dried outdoors with the wind and the sun enhancing the drying process. Tumble dryers offer a fast and convenient way of drying textiles independent of weather conditions. Tumble dryers, however, consume large amounts of electrical energy. READ MORE

4. 2. CFD as a tool for analysis of complex geometry : Perspectives on time efficient simulations of interior household appliance components

   Author : Kamal Rezk; Ola Holby; Lars Davidson; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; Tumble dryer; Fluid mechanics; Design process; Heat exchanger; Comsol MultiPhysics; Volume averaged method; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : Throughout recent years, computer based programs has been applied to solve and analyze industrial problems. One of these developed programs is the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program. The purpose of implementing CFD analysis is to solve complex flow behavior which is not possible with ordinary calculus. READ MORE

5. 3. Energy Efficiency Improvements of Tumble Dryers : -Technical Development, Laundry Habits and Energy Labelling

   Author : Lena Stawreberg; Lars Nilsson; Jonas Berghel; Roger Renström; Björn Palm; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; drying; domestic; energy efficiency; textile; energy labelling standard; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : Tumble dryers are becoming more and more common in ordinary households as a complement to the washing machine. Tumble dryers offer a fast drying cycle independent on weather conditions and require small space. They do, however, considering the large number of units use a large amount of electricity.

6. 4. Increasing the value of household appliances by adding a heat pump system

   Author : Peder Bengtsson; Jonas Berghel; Tomas Persson; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heat pump; Appliances; ASKO; Energy system; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Historically, domestic tasks such as preparing food and washing and drying clothes and dishes were done by hand. In a modern home many of these chores are taken care of by machines such as washing machines, dishwashers and tumble dryers. READ MORE

7. 5. Apply heat pump systems in commercial household products to reduce environmental impact : How to halve the electricity consumption for a household dishwasher

   Author : Peder Bengtsson; Jonas Berghel; Per Lundqvist; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; household appliance; electricity consumption; heat pump; environmental impact; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : In the household appliance industry, heat pump systems have been used for a long time in refrigerators and freezers to cool food, and the industry has driven the development of small, high-quality, low-price heat pump components. In the last few decades, heat pump systems have been introduced in other household appliances, with the express purpose of reducing electricity consumption. READ MORE
