Aquatherm has been designing and building laundry energy and water systems since 1980, well before the pressure, consumption and costs we face today. Decades later and after numerous evolutionary improvements, Aquatherm Micro is a system that extracts up to 90% of the energy from dirty laundry wastewater and reuses all of this energy to heat the incoming cold fresh water to reduce the need for "new energy" and reduce consumption clear.
The Aquatherm Micro-System is a new development that is tailored to the requirements of smaller businesses such as On Premise Laundries (OPL) with water consumption rates of 1,000 to 6,000 liters per hour. The compact and efficient design combined with the use of high quality, low cost components sourced from our Shanghai purchasing office has finally brought lower flow systems into the realm of affordability.
Mike Edwards, Managing Director of Aquatherm, said, “To get the most out of traditional heat recovery systems, separate buffer tanks for hot wastewater and preheated fresh water, as well as plumbing, valves, flow meters, etc. are required. The integration of these systems into a functioning laundry can result in considerable planning, installation and time costs. In the Micro, all of these elements are integrated in a single package, connected to each other and connected to the central control system. All that is required for the installation is a fresh water supply, compressed air and electricity. "
Micro is a specially developed heat and water supply with which the maximum amount of energy can be recovered from the hot wastewater and the fresh water used for the washing process can be preheated. Instead of connecting the washing system to the tap water, the supply now takes place via the micro, which has already been preheated with otherwise wasted energy. If reusing water alone or with heat recovery is required, read the AquascreenMicro – see later in this bulletin. Using heated water for the entire washing process is the most effective and efficient way of processing.
