Analysis of energy efficient and environmentally friendly technologies in professional laundry service

Original language description

Professional laundry service (i.e., doing laundry for hospitals, hotels, production plants, dormitories, and students cafeterias) is an industrial, energy intensive process. Electrical energy and natural gas are commonly used to heat water and drying air. However, much of the energy leaves the process in waste flows completely without any profit. Professional laundry service has also direct impact upon environment. Waste water is often contaminated with laundry detergents and natural gas flue gas is used as drying medium. Therefore, it is an energy intensive process and its energy consumption and related environmental impact are worth researching. This article presents the concept of professional laundry service and main energy efficiency measures thatmay be relevant for the process. Impacts of laundry process on environment along with financial aspects are assessed in this article, too. Financial parameters of any measure are crucial for laundry operators. However, every assessment o
