A Cleaner not a Vacuum Cleaner?

This technology could save in the UK alone, 1.5 TWh of Electricity (Worth £150 Million annually), and is Equal to 645,000 Tons of CO2 emissions.Air Recycling Technology Explained.
There are two ways to remove dust and debris from the floor.

1 /. The vacuum cleaner that sucks air from the floor and passes it through a dust separator. It then returns the air stream back into the room wasting energy.

2/. The so called garden vac that in spite of its name does not use a vacuum to do the work but blows air onto the ground. The air stream is then diverted back up a duct carrying anything that gets into its path into a collecting bag. The air stream is then released into the surrounding air again wasting energy.
However Air Recycling Technology uses both of the above techniques simultaneously by using the air stream to both blow and suck the dirt into a dust separator. For this reason it does not release air back into the room to waste energy.

Prototype air recycling cleaners have been constructed that will out perform a 1,400. watt vacuum cleaner when using only 250 watts. Tests were made in 2005 on behalf of the DTI Market Transformation Program that endorse these claims.

The recent Ecovacuum project conducted in Brussels has suggested new targets in energy saving that cleaner manufacturers will be expected to meet. The solution to this would be for the manufacturers to employ air recycling technology in the manufacture of their cleaners.

Air Recycling Technology can make a 250 Watt cleaner work more efficiently than a 1,400 watt vacuum cleaner; this was the published result in tests conducted for the Market Transformation Program.

Air Recycling Technology can save 1.5 Terawatt of electricity each year in the UK alone that is about £225,000,000 worth of electricity at 15p a unit and 650,000 Tons of CO2. Emissions Annually.

The total annual EU energy consumption of Vacuum Cleaners is estimated as 33.45 Twh. So by using air recycling technology ART, a saving of more than 25 Twh of electricity annually is possible in the EU. Equal to £3.25 billion pounds and 13.5 million tonnes of CO2.Emissions Annually.

Air recycling can also remove the health hazard caused by the air that is normally blown from a VC disturbing allergens, causing them to become suspended in the air.
It has also been suggested that it could be used for the safe removal of toxic dust.




This new approach to cleaner manufacture opens up the potential of an EU market in the floor care industry of over Four Billion Pounds annually. The U.S. retail vacuum cleaner market totaled $4.1 billion in 2006, a 7.1% increase since 2001 in current pricing.

whatever you call it, you're still recycling the air and returning it to the room. I don't see what you mean about wasting energy

Hi

Only a small amount of air is used and by continually recirculating it inside the cleaner no air is blown back into the room. But a Vacuum cleaner uses all the air in the room many times over.

The web pages will explain how this cleaner can do the same amount of work as a 1,400 watt vacuum cleaner using only 250 watt hour. A saving of over 80% of electricity.

Government tests have been conducted to back up these claims. Thanks for your interest.

@arcart0 looks very dubious.

Why

[BoogieWithStew]

Why would reusing the same air use less electricity than simply letting a motor suck in air from the room? Using the same air sounds less efficient.

Seems promising. I just bought a Miele. Perhaps when it dies in the projected 10-20 years I will buy something like this ;-)

This does seem like it would completely eliminate the need for hepa-like filtration. But I'm sure the big boys don't want you saving money on those filters.

Be careful and good luck

Its an interesting concept. What exactly are you doing with the technology ? Have you raised a patent/pending ? What are the big vacuum cleaner boys doing or thinking about this technology ?

Interesting video

[videovac]

is that vacuum in the video a modified panasonic?
