Analysis and Optimization of Energy Consumption for Household Appliances
Auftraggeber: household appliance manufacturer
Strict guidelines (EuP 2010) set the constraints for future product development. Norms governing energy consumption in the production, use, and disposal of an appliance will be passed in the coming years. From 2010, for example, appliances must not consume more than 1 W in standby mode.Knowledge of the relevant legal requirements and norms as well as the scope of the processes and technologies needed to comply with them is thus essential to the successful development of appliances.
Helbling Technik possesses know-how in the development of electrical and electronic solutions that offer high efficiency and low power wastage.
Helbling Technik Munich has developed a patented power supply for a new family of household appliances that allows the standby consumption to be set in line with actual requirements.
Procedure:
-
Energy consumption during the appliance's total operation time assessed
-
Standby modes defined
-
Various energy-saving technologies (SMPS, inductive, capacitative) evaluated
-
Results implemented in simulations and test constructions
-
Solution patented by client
