Methods and systems for an integrated acid regeneration of ion exchange resins are disclosed for use in cleaning applications. Acid resins designed for use in a variety of cleaning application using a treated, softened, acidic water source are disclosed. Various methods of using the softened acidic water generated by acid regenerate-able ion exchange resins within a cleaning application, e.g. ware wash machine, are disclosed to beneficially reduce spotting, filming and scale buildup on treated surfaces, reduce and/or eliminate the need for polymers, threshold reagents and/or rinse aids, and using protons generated in the acidic water effluent for triggering events useful in various cleaning applications.

摘要:
A laundry washing machine (1) includes an outer casing (2) and, inside said outer casing (2), a washing tub (3), a detergent dispensing assembly (9), a fresh-water supply circuit (10) for selectively channeling a flow of fresh water from the water mains towards the detergent dispensing assembly (9) and/or the washing tub (3), and a water softening device (11) interposed between the fresh water supply circuit (10) and the detergent dispensing assembly (9) or the washing tub (3), and being structured for reducing the harness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub (3). The water softening device (11) includes a water-softening agent container (26), crossed by fresh water arriving from the fresh-water supply circuit (10) and is filled with a water softening agent; a regeneration-agent reservoir (27) being structured to receive a salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening function of the water softening agent; and a water supply circuit (28) for selectively channeling a given amount of fresh water into the regeneration-agent reservoir (27) to form brine; and an electrically-powered brine-circulating pump assembly (29) interposed between the water-softening agent container (26) and the regeneration-agent reservoir (27), and being structured for transferring/moving the brine from the regeneration-agent reservoir (27) to the water-softening agent container (26) when activated, and for watertight sealing/isolating the regeneration-agent reservoir (27) from the water-softening agent container (26) when deactivated.

摘要:
A laundry washing machine includes an outer casing provided with a front wall, two side walls, a rear wall and a top wall, a washing tub arranged inside the casing directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized in the front wall of the casing, a rotatable drum arranged in an axially rotating manner inside the washing tub and structured for receiving the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispenser which is housed inside the casing between the washing tub and the top wall of the casing and is structured for feeding into the washing tub a detergent, softener and/or other washing agent mixed with fresh water arriving from the water mains, a water softening device which includes water softening agents for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, and a regeneration-agent reservoir which is housed inside the casing and is structured for receiving salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening agents. The detergent dispenser is provided with a first inlet which is exposed or exposable to the outside on the front wall of the casing. The regeneration-agent reservoir is housed inside the casing between the detergent dispenser and one of the side walls of the casing, and is provided with an independent second inlet which is exposed or exposable to the outside of the casing.
摘要:
A laundry washing machine (1) having an outer casing (2) and, inside the outer casing (2), a washing tub (3), a detergent dispensing assembly (9) structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub (3), and a fresh-water supply circuit (10) structured for selectively channeling a flow of fresh water from the water mains towards the detergent dispensing assembly (9) and/or the washing tub (3). A water softening device (12) is arranged/located along the fresh-water supply circuit (10) and is structured for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water channeled to the detergent dispensing assembly (9) and/or the washing tub (3). The water softening device (12) being internally provided with a given amount of water softening agent to reduce the hardens degree of the fresh water flowing through the same water softening device (12), and with a given amount of consumable regeneration agent regenerate the water softening function of the water softening agent. The laundry washing machine (1) further having an appliance control panel (11) structured for allowing the user to manually select the desired washing-cycle and located/arranged on front of a drawer-like supporting structure (13) fitted/inserted in extractable manner into the front wall (2a) of the casing (2), so as to be movable between a retracted position in which the drawer-like supporting structure (13) is recessed into the front wall (2a) of the casing (2) and the appliance control panel (11) is arranged substantially coplanar to the front wall (2a) of the casing (2), and a extracted position in which the drawer-like supporting structure (13) partly juts out from front wall (2a) of the casing (2) and the appliance control panel (11) is forward spaced apart from front wall (2a) of the casing (2). The water softening device (12) being provided with an exposable loading inlet or mouth (33a, 52) structured for allowing the user to load the regeneration agent inside the regeneration-agent reservoir (29), and being at least partly arranged/located on the drawer-like supporting structure (13) so that said loading inlet or mouth (33a, 52) is freely accessible by the user when the drawer-like supporting structure (13) is arranged in the extracted position.
摘要:
A method for inhibiting dye transfer between items of laundry in a fabric treating appliance including a treating chamber for receiving the fabric items for treatment according to a cycle of operation, the method including supplying liquid to the treating chamber to form a liquid mixture comprising the liquid and free dye molecules and dye absorbers in solution or in suspension within the liquid mixture. At least one of ultraviolet (UV) or visible light spectroscopy may be conducted on the liquid to define at least one of an absorbance or fluorescence value indicative of a level of at least one of the dye absorber or complex in the liquid.
