Abstract

The method for reduction of germ concentration and the smell formation of clothes and usage of detergent, anti-lime agent and softener in the washing machine using a device, comprises inoculating clothes with silver ions during the washing operation.

Description

The Device is used for disinfection (reduction of germ load) of laundry during Wash in a washing machine from cold wash. In this process will be In addition, the washing machine and residual water disinfected in the W-machine.

In the washed laundry remain silver ions, during later ironing, storage and carrying, odors the laundry (including saprophytes) and body odors (i.a. Odor) delay and reduce. additionally can those in the wash remaining silver ions spread on the skin while wearing the laundry and the formation and spread of bacteria (e.g., staphylococci, staphlockas) reduce or reduce existing bacteria.

In addition, it is possible to reduce the addition of detergent by up to 50%, which reduces the pollution of the waste water by surfactants and thus relieves the burden on the environment.
Likewise, the skin is not burdened by detergent residues in the laundry when wearing and allergic skin irritation can be reduced / prevented.

Anti-Kalkmittel have to no longer be used. Fabric softener is no longer necessary and The use can also be omitted, resulting in further relief contributes to the environment.

The Device is a device which is composed of different components.

The Device becomes installed in the water supply in front of the washing machine. When the water intake of Washing machine becomes the device automatically started.

By The interaction of the individual modules creates a reduction the surface tension of the water. This has the consequence that during the subsequent washing process the calcification is lifted and the use of detergents, anti-limescale agents and softener can be significantly reduced. This measure will be an essential Environmental relief achieved by chemicals.

By one in the device built-in flowmeter, which at the start of the washing machine for Water intake an electronic control with control device turns on, depending on from the conductivity of the water and the amount of water released by silver ions and in deliver the wash water. This turns the laundry to be cleaned with silver ions offset by the germs and bacteria in the laundry and washing machine are killed.

To During the washing process, silver ions remain in the washed textiles and prevent early Odor formation, in addition When carrying these textiles, silver ions become human Skin released, so that a germ and bacteria reducing (Staphylococcus) Effect occurs.

technical description

The device consists of several assemblies:
A power supply designed for 120 V / 230 V; 50-60 Hz. Galvanic isolation generates the required extra-low voltages for the individual modules.

In an oscillator unit, current pulses are generated at a frequency of 5000 Hz with a duty cycle of 1 to 1.
These are processed in a power amplifier and fed to an inductive flow body.
As the water flows through this treatment unit, the current pulses induce high-frequency currents into the water. As a result, the surface tension of the water is reduced and the lime binding abolished.

An integrated Flowmeter sets when water consumption of the washing machine, an electronic circuit in operation, which metered releases silver ions to the water.
The dosage of the silver ions can be preselected with keys for each corresponding hardness range, or be automatically determined by an integrated conductivity sensor.
The start of this electronic circuit is displayed optically during commissioning.

In the device is a water leak detector installed, which shuts off the device in case of leakage and emits an acoustic signal.

The System can for all commercial washing machines and industrial washing machines are designed.
