Water conservation, energy efficiency and hygiene – The forthcoming presentation will outline and examine the requirements placed on modern household appliances and the associated challenges from the perspectives of industry and research.
To save energy, the cycle times of modern domestic appliances – such as dishwashers – are often extended, whilst the temperatures are reduced. Furthermore, these appliances are expected to use less water whilst cleaning more effectively. How can these requirements actually be reconciled from a technical perspective? And how do the lower temperatures affect hygiene? Dr Kinnius and Professor Bockmühl provide answers by examining the challenges from both an industry and a research perspective, presenting new approaches and highlighting interesting aspects.
The event will take place at the Kleve campus of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Marie-Curie-Straße 1, Lecture Theatre Centre, ground floor, Room 01 EG 005 (Lecture Theatre 1).
The lecture forms part of the Studium Generale programme and has been designed to make science accessible through lectures that are easy for everyone to understand. The lecture programme is aimed at the general public, students, school pupils and anyone in the region with an interest in science, as well as professors and staff at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, with a focus on general, universal education. The lecture series also provides a platform for lively exchange and discussion on current issues.
Attendance at the Studium Generale lectures at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is free of charge and no prior registration is required. Further information on the Studium Generale is available online at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/studium-generale.
