AMDEA urges retailers to share tips

The UK trade association for manufacturers of large and small domestic appliances, is calling on retailers to help homeowners make simple changes to their appliance usage to save money and cut energy consumption.

As part of its Know Watt’s Watt campaign, AMDEA says that £80 a year can be saved by always washing clothes and dishes on the eco-cycle. The association also advises that £60 can be saved by cooking food in the microwave rather than the oven. Taken together, this conserves almost enough electricity to power a washing machine on eco-mode for two years. Other small maintenance tasks, such as descaling the kettle, can help maintain efficiency and extend appliance lifespan.

LG Elec to open heat pump research laboratory in Alaska


LG Electronics Inc. plans to open LG Advanced Cold Climate Heat Pump Laboratory in Alaska, the US for the development of heating, ventilation, & air conditioning (HVAC) that performs in extreme low temperatures.

The company announced on Monday it launched the Consortium for Advanced Heat-pump Research with the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in Anchorage, the US.

HAVC products with heat pump techs perform poorly in severe cold because the pressure to compress refrigerant is reduced, resulting in less refrigerant circulating.

In the polar regions of Alaska, new experiments can be conducted that take into account environmental conditions and variables such as snow, rain, and extreme low temperatures that cannot be reproduced in traditional laboratories

THE BORA M PURE OFFERS ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY

The new BORA M Pure is the most flexible of the compact cooktop extractor systems. Pots, pans and other cookware of all shapes and sizes fit perfectly onto the cooktops. Roasts for festive meals can be placed on the surface induction cooktop on the right while the left cooktop optimally detects small pans or even espresso makers thanks to the circular induction zones. The new BORA M Pure is a logical progression from our popular BORA Pure cooktop extractor system. It is a premium model that has been designed without compromise for the most flexible and enjoyable cooking experiences. The two surface induction cooking zones on the right can be connected together by the bridging function to create a large zone. This optimally heats large cookware, such is the BORA grill pan. If the roaster is sufficiently large and permanent pan size recognition is enabled, the zones are automatically combined. The two individual cooking zones on the left with zone induction are ideal for smaller pots, pans and espresso makers.
