Ökologische Optimierungvon GebrauchtgerätenEntwicklung von technischen Lösungen zurenergieeffizienten Aufrüstung vongebrauchten Waschmaschinen

The project investigates possibilities to reduce energy and water consumption of usedwashing machines. The idea behind is, that upgraded washing machines do not haveinevitably environmental advantages compared to new washing machines, as the latterusually consume much less energy and resources in the use phase. Generally energy andresource consumption reducing innovations are only applied to new washing machines.However, used washing machines hold a high energy and resource saving potential.Therefore, in addition to the advantage of waste reduction by upgrading, the aim is tooptimise consumption parameters for the second use phase...
