Refrigerators/Freezers • Place refrigerators and freezers away from sources of heat such as stoves, clothes dryers, dishwashers, heating systems, and direct sunlight. • Replace door gaskets when they become hard or out of shape. A tight seal will minimize air leakage. • Vacuum or dust external coils at least once a year. • Defrost freezers before the ice becomes 1/4 inch thick. • Fill refrigerators and freezers to capacity, but avoid blocking air circulation. Washers/Dryers • Use hot water only for heavily soiled or greasy clothes and for sanitation purposes. • Wash only full loads or match the water level to the load size. • Use cold water in the rinse cycle. • Dry full loads of clothes and avoid over drying clothes. • Vent dryers to the outside to avoid moisture build-up inside the home. Dryers operate less efficiently when they use moist air to dry clothes. • Make sure exterior dryer vents close tightly when not in use. • Keep lint filters and exterior dryer vents clean. Dishwashers • Pre-rinse only when necessary and then use only cold water. • Operate the dishwasher only for full loads. • When time allows, air dry the dishes.

  • Microwave-Irradiation-Assisted HVAC Filtration for Inactivation of Viral Aerosols
    Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 12: 295–303, 2012 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2011.11.0193 Microwave-irradiation-assisted HVAC Filtration for Inactivation of Viral Aerosols Myung-Heui Woo1, Adam Grippin2, Chang-Yu Wu1*, Joseph Wander3 1 University of Florida, Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA 2 University of Florida, Department of Chemical Engineering, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA 3 Air Force Research Laboratory, Tyndall Air Force Base, FL 32403, USA ABSTRACT Inactivation of collected viral aerosols is important for preventing a filter medium’s serving as a fomite. The focus of this study was to evaluate the inactivation efficiency (IE) achieved through filtration coupled with microwave irradiation. MS2 aerosolized through a Collison nebulizer was fed into the system and collected onto the filter. For in-flight microwave decontamination, microwave irradiation was applied to an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) filter supported on a SiC disk for three cycles of selected irradiation times per 10 min (i.e., 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 min/10 min) at power levels ranging from 125 W to 375 W. The survival fraction (SF) on the substrate and the IE through the entire system were investigated to determine the efficacy of this approach. SF decreased and IE increased as microwave power level was increased (p = 0.02 and p < 0.01, respectively) or the application time was extended (p = 0.03 and p < 0.01, respectively). Both measures changed sharply above a threshold temperature of around 90°C and reached 2 logs at 116 and 109°C, respectively.

  • Analytical and Experimental Examination of Microwave Defrosting Method on Commercial Refrigerator Evaporators
    ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL EXAMINATION OF MICROWAVE DEFROSTING METHOD ON COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATOR EVAPORATORS BY JONG WOO KIM THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor M. Quinn Brewster ABSTRACT Defrosting of domestic refrigerator evaporator coils is currently done with external electrical heaters of various designs using a combination of convection, radiation, and conduction. These designs put unnecessary heat into the refrigerators during the defrosting process and the heat must be taken out again by the compressor work. Radiation, which has a fundamentally different mechanism from conduction and convection, can have significant advantages over traditional defrosting methods since it doesn’t heat up the air inside evaporator. Defrosting experiments are done to find out the effectiveness of microwave defrosting in a commercial microwave oven. Frost is formed on the small aluminum evaporator with a controlled temperature and mass and thaws out in the microwave oven while measuring the defrosting conditions. Temperature and geometry of defrosting conditions are discussed by changing the frost temperature and magnetron positions to the evaporator. Later, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to find out the uniformity of defrost in a two-dimensional slot. Various incoming angles and surface conditions are compared to find out the best condition. The fundamental mechanisms of microwave oven defrosting and experiment results are presented in detail. ii This thesis is dedicated to my beloved family for their limitless love, sacrifice, and support. Particularly to my father, who has been my lifetime advisor, for instilling the importance of education and for guiding me to achieve my dreams.

  • Microwave Vs. Toaster Oven and Energy Efficiency
    MICROWAVE VS TOASTER OVEN: WHICH ONE IS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT? Frank Scotti - 09 November, 2018 Selecting the right energy-efficient instant cooking appliance in your kitchen is one easy way to save energy cost at home. According to Energy Star, using a microwave or oven to cook can save up to 80% energy. Plus the microwave doesn’t heat up the kitchen during the summer season and it helps with air conditioning cost saving. This article will help you to understand how these appliances work when considering whether to use a microwave vs an oven or toaster oven vs a microwave. Microwaves use high-frequency radio waves to heat the water molecules inside food. The food essentially cooks from the inside out, leaving the air around the food to remain at room temperature. In essence, microwaves heat all the food at once. This method reduces cooking time and energy consumption, especially when cooking small amounts of food like bread or a cup of soup. In contrast, a conventional oven heats primarily by convection: the hot air surrounds the food and the heat from hot coils comes as a result of the temperature difference between the hot air and the food. Toaster ovens cook food by combining hot air with radiant heat. Microwave vs oven Cooking a potato is one way to understand the potential cooking benefits of using a microwave vs oven. Averagely cooking four medium potatoes takes about 15 minutes in a microwave oven. Cooking those same amount potatoes in a conventional oven would take about an hour. This is obviously a reduction in both time and energy costs.
