Other Appliances

Rigid polyurethane for other appliances. Alternatives include HCFC-141b, HCFC-22, blends of -22 and HCFC-142b, pentane, and carbon dioxide/water blowing. In the long term, the alternatives include HFCs. 

Additionally, as a response to rising energy prices and uncertainty of supply, several states adopted appliance efficiency standards. At the federal level, the National Appliance Energy Consei vation Act of 1987 established the first national standards for refrigerators and freezers, furnaces, air conditioners, and other appliances. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 added national standards for incandescent and fluorescent lights, small electric motors, office equipment, and plumbing products. 

The ambitious goal of eBuilding is to maximize the comfort of the house owner at a minimum cost level. This will be achieved by using sensors in all sensitive areas, for instance, constant control of the air-conditioning or to cut off cost intensive peaks. Also sensors in smoke-detectors, windows, doors and other appliances will take care of the house security. 

Many other appliances and electrical devices have become much more efficient. While the number of electricity-burning personal computers proliferated, computer equipment makers rapidly adopted energysaving PC technologies. 

Make sure that the furnace and other appliances, such as gas ovens, ranges, and cooktops, are inspected for adequate ventilation. 

Electrical and electronic devices are made utilizing several various types of plastic materials, thus when discarded their waste is difficult to recycle. The plastics employed in housing and other appliances are more or less homogeneous materials (among others PP, PVC, PS, HIPS, ABS, SAN, Nylon 6,6, the pyrolysis liquids of which have been discussed above). However, metals are embedded in printed circuit boards, switches, junctions and insulated wires, moreover these parts contain fire retardants in addition to support and filler materials. Pyrolysis is a suitable way to remove plastics smoothly from embedded metals in electrical and electronic waste (EEW), in addition the thermal decomposition products of the plastics may serve as feedstock or fuel. PVC, PBT, Nylon 6,6, polycarbonate (PC), polyphenylene ether (PPO), epoxy and phenolic resins occur in these metal-containing parts of EEW.

The calcium and magnesium compounds in hard water also leave a white scale or residue inside tea kettles, coffee pots, irons, and other appliances that use water. This scale can build up and keep the appliance from working properly. When soap is used... 

Refrigerating machines include air conditioning units and machines or other appliances which have been designed for the specific purpose of keeping food or other items at low temperature in an internal compartment. [Text continues.] lATA 4.4 A26... 

Investment on research and development of new materials will only be maximised if there is a clearly established route to market for newly developed products. In the UK, the routes to market for products used in the community setting have been well established for some thirty years. Recent efficiency drives initiated by the Commercial Directorate of the Department of Health threatened to disrupt the routes to market which traditionally have meant that the UK is a place of choice for research, production and the first launch of many new technologies. This paper explores the history behind the reimbursement process for appliances in the community setting, and the consultations aimed at reviewing tire arrangements for the provision of dressings, incontinence appliances, stoma appliances chemical reagents and other appliances to primary care and secondary care. Althou the process is not yet complete, the paper sets out to update on the current position and the implications to research and development.

Electrolux, in Stockholm, Sweden, is reportedly using 40 to 80% commingled recycled plastics from sources such as used telephones, car parts, and other appliances, in the manufacture of vacuum cleaner housings. The company is also moving toward closed-loop reuse of in-plant scrap in future product designs,... 

A portable generator can provide electricity to power lights and other appliances no matter how far you are from the mains. 

In 1948, John and Margaret Walson, who sold televisions and other appliances in the mountains of Pennsylvania, used cables to connect a mountain antenna to their shop and some customers homes, creating the first community antenna television, or cable television, as it is now called.
