Objective:
Scientific objectives and approach:
To develop a water saving technique for high pressure cleaning which
- reduce the water consumption with 40%
- allow individual adjustments of flow and pressure values to optimise hygienic cleaning
- minimise the number of water droplets, which can distribute micro-organisms
- decrease the number of micro-organisms with 25%
- decrease the energy consumption with 20%
The issue in this developing work is to resolve the following technical problems
- how to optimise water energy for reduction of water consumption
- how to adjust flow rate and pressure independently of each other
- how to change the shape and size of the water drops in the water jet without exchanging the nozzle
