Energy Saving Waterless Washing Machine.
Energy Saving Waterless Washing Machine.
During my research, actually my wife spotted the article in her weekly Russian language paper, which seems to be more up to date than our own papers, or certainly have more interesting news articles. Anyway, as I was saying, during my research for all things green, or greener, and more friendly to our environment, I have come across a very interesting article about a very green washing machine, that is in the pipeline, and made by a company called, ‘Xeros’. The article below is a year old, but the article in my wife’s paper is current, and does have up to date information, so maybe there will be some news in the offing. I’ll do some research, and do a follow up post with my findings.
If this machine is genuine, and does live up to it’s advertised environmentally friendly specifications, then it will certainly be a boon for all of us environment friendly people. In fact it will be a boon for everyone, because as well as using a lot less water, it uses a lot less energy. So it conserves a natural resource on two fronts, so even if you have renewable energy powering your home, it will take some of the load off that. Remember, it’s all about conservation.

Waterless washing machines to be released next year
http://www.reuters.com/article/environment…
A washing machine using as little as a cup of water for each washing cycle could go on sale to environmentally conscious Britons next year.
Xeros Ltd, which has been spun out of the University of Leeds to commercialize the technology, said on Monday the new machines would use less than 2 percent of the water and energy of a conventional washing machine.
Plastic chips are used to remove dirt and stains from clothes, leaving them dry and reducing energy consumption as there is no need to use a dryer after the washing cycle, Xeros said.
A typical washing machine uses about 35 kilograms of water for every kilogram of clothes, in addition to the power needed to heat the water and dry the clothes

Just like usual you’ve presented several amazing details. Been lurking on the website for some time and wanted to thank you for spending some time to post it.
Really like the blog. I’ve been creating solar panels for small businesses for months now and doing pretty well… Lucky I found this place.
Xeros is behind the idea of using cleaning beads to effectively clean your garments. There are other ways to conserve water if you don’t own nearly waterless washers. By simply using liquid detergent in smaller amounts can prevent you from running an extra rinse cycle. Also wash in full loads. If you have less than 10 garments you need to wash, you might as well do it manually. This will also conserve energy.
