Download or read book Early Electrical Appliances written by Bob Gordon and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into the early days of electrical appliance development when many novel and little known appliances were made. The manufacture and operation of some of these inventions encountered seemingly insurmountable problems at the time - the first toaster, for example, would often shoot the toast high into the air, and the toast was occasionally on fire - but many are now revived in some of the latest appliances we use today. This is an ideal one-stop informative book which looks at every aspect of early electrical appliances, from the Harness electropathic corset and head-ache curing electric hairbrush of the Victorian fashion world to the tea parties at which guests watched vacuum-cleaning displays.
Download or read book Sensors in Household Appliances written by Guido Tschulena and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken as a whole, this series covers all major fields of application for commercial sensors, as well as their manufacturing techniques and major types. As such the series does not treat bulk sensors, but rather places strong emphasis on microsensors, microsystems and integrated electronic sensor packages. Each of the individual volumes is tailored to the needs and queries of readers from the relevant branch of industry. A competent and comprehensive survey of current and future sensors applied in electronic household devices. Engineers and scientists will find here reports of an increase in product safety, efficiency and consumer comfort, coupled with a decrease in power consumption and water/wastewater. The book also looks at the customer appeal of advanced "intelligent" appliances, showing the heightened need for comprehensive information on their potentials and limitations.
Download or read book Impact on Energy Labelling on Household Appliances written by and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy labelling has had an impact on the product development of household appliances. Today's appliances are energy-efficient and users are satisfied with them, however, the test methods applied to energy labelling do not always correspond to the actual use of the appliances tested. Although the current energy-labelling scheme focuses on saving energy, the appliances must also work properly. Energy labelling helps households to get appliances that save energy.
Download or read book Energy Efficiency in Household Appliances written by Paolo Bertoldi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is widespread interest throughout the world in improving appliance energy efficiency. Methods to reach that end include energy labeling, energy efficiency standards and market conditioning (e.g, energy efficient procurement and DSM programs). Energy efficiency standards, which started out as an action to reduce demand for energy in individual countries, has now become a subject of regional and even worldwide dimension, particularly in the context of global climate change mitigation. Mandatory energy efficiency standards are in place for some appliances in China, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines and the United States. Standards for refrigerator/freezers will take effect in Australia and the European Union in 1999. Voluntary energy efficiency standards are in place for refrigerators in Brazil, India and Korea and for air conditioners in India, Japan and Korea. Table I showed potential global energy use reductions from codes and standards in buildings. If individual country data can be assembled, a more accurate approach to estimating potential reductions in energy use and carbon emissions would be to perform a bottom-up analysis for energy using equipment on an end-use basis in as many large developing countries as possible. The impact of standards would be assessed as more efficient appliances replaced existing stock models and new purchases that increased saturation rates were made at higher efficiencies than would otherwise be the case. This approach would show the slow but steady buildup of annual energy savings from efficiency standards or other programs to improve energy efficiency.

Download or read book Water Usage Characteristics of Household Appliances and the Potential for Water Savings written by Robert L. Palla and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was part of a comprehensive water conservation program sponsored by HUD through the Center for Building Technology (CBT). The purpose of this study was to identify appliance parameters, usage techniques, and options available to manufacturers and consumers that offer the most substantial water savings. Appliances considered were clothes washers and dishwashers. Through a comparison of estimated water savings, the study indicates that the most significant means of saving water are those that are already commercially available -- front-loading machines and suds-saver options for clothes washers and short-cycle settings for dishwashers. Water savings of about 20 to 30 percent are estimated with these features, or aout 10 gallons for clothes washers and 3 gallons for dishwashers.

Download or read book Domestic Spaces in Post Mao China written by Wang Min’an and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional, creative, and highly original, Wang Min’an’s work centres on the assemblage of household machines that create the space of contemporary domesticity. It offers pathways to a new understanding of how the sudden commodification of domestic space in China beginning in the late 1980s has transformed Chinese domestic life beyond recognition. In terms of modern urban Chinese family life, people do not just move into new apartments; they move into new modes of living which involve new ways of relating to the world. Wang’s discussion on the reconstitution of Chinese domestic life—its founding moral, aesthetic, political values—is tremendously useful and enlightening. In these essays, the author stages a Latourian collapse of subject and object in adopting the point of view of both human and non-human actants. This volume brings a new sensibility to bear on objects of modern everyday life. This work is not a "China book," but rather a work marked profoundly by China. Wang experiments with the applicability of "theory" to what might be thought of as a transcultural common life embedded in mundane technologies. The book is particularly concerned with rescuing everyday materiality and bodily life from the numb obscurity to which things have been relegated by modern consumerism and bourgeois hygiene. This book is not an oddity from the mysterious East; it is a playful experiment in writing from a unique scholar, a leading thinker and theorist in the humanities in China, and will be of interest to scholars and students of East Asian, particularly Chinese, political and domestic studies.
