electrolux-a%2B-rated-polar-appliances.jpg

Electrolux assists zero-emission Princess Elisabeth Station with free products and remote technical support. The station will run entirely on renewable energy and all efforts have been taken to optimize waste management and energy usage. In recognition of the Electrolux Group’s "green", energy and water efficient appliances, the International Polar Foundation (IPF) approached Electrolux to supply a range of household appliances to the new station.

The Elisabeth Research Station is, in many respects, the house of the sustainable future," says Henrik Sundström, Vice President Environmental and Sustainability Affairs at Electrolux. "If researchers can have zero emission appliances why can’t everyone? This is the perfect opportunity to test products for the future." To support the researchers with their project, Electrolux has donated a full suite of kitchen and laundry products to cater for up to 20 staff at the station. "Food preparation is terribly important which is why we turned to Electrolux for our kitchen requirements," adds Station Manager Johan Berte.

Among the Electrolux products housed in the Antarctic station are six washing machines, six tumble dryers, 'A+' refrigerators, frost-free chest freezers, double oven cookers, cooker hoods, microwaves and an 'AAA' dishwasher. Electrolux will also supply the staff with technical training and remote support. Several products have been specially adapted to the researchers’ needs. For example, the washing machines have been fitted with an extra large door to handle bulky polar outdoor gear while the freezers can freeze food for up to a year at -18° Celsius. The washing machines save electricity by using pre-heated water in the wash cycle.

Siemens automatic vacuum cleaner self adjusts to the floor surface

The Siemens automatic vacuum cleaner, Z 4.0 is the first vacuum ever to adjust to the floor surface. This automatic cleaner automatically selects the optimal level of suction for every floor surface. In addition to greater convenience, the advantages are also quite measurable - in alternating between hard floor and carpet cleaning, the Siemens vacuum generates a 30 percent energy savings and is up to 22 percent quieter. Quite nice from every angle, isn't it. As Siemens puts it, owners of the Z 4.0 automatic vacuum should adjust themselves to no longer having to make adjustments. Thanks to its special performance sensor, the vacuum independently regulates its suction power to match the floor surface. Whether it is Cotto tiles on carpet or oriental rugs over hardwood, when switching from one surface to another, the sensors detect through the higher or lower pressure whether too much or too little suction is being used. The Siemens intelligent vacuum then adjusts its performance upwards or downwards, as it is needed. You don't have to bend down to adjust power and the annoyance of the nozzle constantly adhering to the carpet is also a thing of the past - the powerful 2,200 watt motor is always optimally used. Not only this intelligent automatic cleaner gives each floor surface individualized care, but it is also especially energy efficient, using only as much power as needed to achieve completely clean surfaces. The Ultra Air HEPA hygiene filtration and improved MEGAfilt-SuperTEX filter bags trap even the smallest dust particles, and the air flow control system regulates air circulation in the motor compartment, which is completely sealed with the patented air safe. Even allergy-causing pollen remain inside the vacuum. That makes the exhaust air up to 99.997 percent particle free and thus even cleaner that the room air. The motor of the Siemens Z 4.0 cleaner is quiet thanks to the special noise reduction of the interior compartment. Noise optimized caster wheels ensure maximum smoothness on hard floors. Combined with the automatic function, the result is one quiet Siemens vacuum cleaner. The 10 meter cord for a large operating radius and integrated accessories compartment complete the convenience. Champagne metallic finish and the price is € 230.

Wood burning grills - portable green BBQ grills from WoodFlame

WoodFlame portable BBQ grills don't use propane or charcoal and are the fastest and most powerful multi-purpose BBQ grills, and yes, are considered ecologically green. These wood burning grills burn small cubes made of pretty much any type of hardwood including maple, oak, apple, birch, pine and cherry. Two or three are sufficient to cook a meal. You can substitute these cubes as long as you have dry wood and small saw. The main advantages of these wood burning BBQ grills are safety and speedy power.

There are no hazardous materials to carry, no gas connections, no propane and flammable charcoal fluids to light, and no need for a stand because the blower forces heat up toward the grill, so the sides and bottom of the barbecue always stay cool, so you can even use it safely on a picnic table or even a plastic tablecloth. The first electronically controlled forced air wood burning BBQ grill reaches 1200 °F with smashing 62,000 BTU in just 2 minutes, and with 9 preset digital temperature settings you are in total control. You can barbecue, grill, stir-fry, boil, heat flavoring with beer, wine or broth, smoke, roast and blacken with over 25 different types of wood and dozens of herbs for flavor fusion.

The larger wood burning grill, Delecto shown above, features stainless steel cooking area of 207 sq. in., measures only H11.5" x W24" x D13" and weights just over 17.5 lbs, making Delecto one delectable portable grill. Cast aluminum smoke lid and stainless steel collector trays. The ultra portable Gusto is the smaller of the two wood burning grills, and weighting 10 lbs, still gives you 121 sq. in. of cooking surface.

This small portable BBQ also available with special universal bracket that can be fixed to modern boat tie-down attachments and protective weather resistant cover, so you can burn wood in the sea or on the lake. As far as ecology, the wood burning grills utilize a forced air system, so the combustion is fast and complete, keeping carbon monoxide and dioxin emissions at tiniest levels. There is no expired propane cylinders to dispose of. Wood is regarded as a renewable energy and wood burning is part of the natural carbon cycle. A living green tree converts Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen during its entire growth period. These amounts far outweigh the amounts of Carbon Dioxide produced by combustion. For that reason, specialists consider wood burning as having a zero effect on the emission on Greenhouse Effect gases. Considering obvious heath benefits of wood burning grilling, the portable BBQ grills from WoodFlame are simply must for every outdoor enthusiast.
