DUNLOP DESIGN ENGINEERING LTD-HELPING TO SAVE YOUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCES-ENERGY and WATER.

Dunlop Design Engineering, a leading supplier of energy and water recovery systems to the Laundry and Textile Industries, has come up with another FIRST!!!

-THE COOLDOWN HEAT EXCHANGER
Dunlop Innovation
The COOLDOWN HEAT EXCHANGER(CDHX) enables operators to heat the water to maximum temperatures, and then direct it through the cooldown heat exchanger, which allows the optimum front-end temperature of 37 degrees centigrade(max).

Benefits

1. reduced water consumption because the automatic flush tank cooling water is eliminated
2. protein staining is considerably reduced.
3. reduced wear on the laundry ‘goods’ and the boiler
4. laundry ‘goods’ temperatures of 55 degrees C extracts and dries faster, saving drying time and dryer fuel.

This contrasts with conventional Heat Exchangers which often result in serious staining, production problems and a need to use excess volumes of water to cool down the first module in the process.

Customer Satisfaction
Initial installations have surpassed all expectations. Blanchisserie, a leading industry publication in France quotes the following;

Dunlop Design’s innovative Nano-filtration System produced very impressive results in a recent independent trial carried out at, Queens University, Belfast, in February 2004.

The trial, which used laundry waste water as the testing fluid, involved filtering the waste water through the innovative ceramic filtration unit followed by polishing with Nanofiltration at a range of temperatures and pressures to, to determine the efficiency of the Microfiltration/Nanofiltration system. Very impressive improvements in water quality were achieved as shown by the following example.

Test Date	February 2004
Testing Authority	Applied Technology Unit, Questor Centre, QUB
Testing Fluid	Laundry Waste Water
Temperature	20 degrees centigrade
Pressure	20 bar
Result	14.2 TDS ( Total Dissolved Solids)
Comparative Values	200 / 300 TDS Tap Water 700 TDS Bottled Water 0 TDS Distilled Water

This technology has particular application to the laundry industry, as the membranes are resilient to the hazardous effects of laundry effluent, chemicals, variable pH and temperatures.

If you would like more details or wish to partake in trials, please contact Walton Dunlop for further details.

Dunlop Design Engineering - Helping to save your most valuable resources …. Energy and Water

The stand at Texcare 2004 in Frankfurt received many visitors from over 30 countries world wide, keen to discuss their revolutionary Water Recycling and Energy saving systems. The exhibition was attended by operators from the Laundry and Dry-cleaning Industry, all of whom were eager to find out how to reduce their water and energy bills. Visitors to the stand could see Dunlop’s trial system in operation and were particularly impressed by the quality of the water returned by the Microfiltration system. They also had the opportunity to discuss the potential energy and water savings at their plant and were advised on suitable technologies for achieving these savings by the representatives from Dunlop Design Engineering Ltd and their principles Kemco Systems Inc.



The System, developed by Kemco in Florida, has the potential to radically reduce water costs by enabling up to 80% reuse of water. This technology has very a wide application and is especially relevant to laundry and food processing industries.

Guarantee Laundries produce high quality flat work at their operation in Corsham. Their business is water and energy intensive. Rising water costs and energy costs prompted Mr Peter Swan, Group Operations Director, to consider installation of a water reuse system.

In August 2004 Mr Swan signed a contract with Dunlop Design Engineering for the installation of a Waste Water Reuse and Heat Recovery system. This system will enable Guarantee Laundries to save 40% on their energy costs and 40% of their water costs. The system will be paid for within 1.92 years of its installation.

Peter Swan and Elain Pinnegar of Guarantee Laundries

Dunlop provided a turnkey solution that included all pipework and installation. Installation of the system was completed in 5 days. The system includes a tube and shell Heat Exchanger and an Air Back Wash Filtration system.

This case study shows how a company can decrease energy consumption while delivering lower costs and immediate bottom line improvement, at the same time meeting CO2 emission reduction targets.
