Abstract
There are 12 Extended Energy Surveys (EES) from United Kingdom industrial laundries analysed in this report. Three of these are hospital laundries, one is stone washing and bleaching jeans, and the remainder are commerical laundries processing a wide range of goods. Typical products of a commercial laundry are bed linen and table linen from hotels, workwear, industrial wiping cloths, cabinet towels, and dust control mats. The 12 sites represent about 5% of the energy used in the fabric care industry. They cover the whole range of sites from the small independent laundry employing 25 people to the largest of commercial sites employing 170 people. The mean specific energy consumption is 4.77kg of steam per kg of work processed. Potential energy savings of Pound 0.36 million/year were identified in the 12 reports. These savings were classified in two ways, by type of measure and by cost. The most important measures were energy management, heat recovery, boilers, and steam distribution. In terms of energy savings, 64% were attributable to techniques costing Pound 5k or more. These were mainly heat recovery measures. All the measures yielded a payback of less than 2 years except for some of the heat recovery measures. The ratio
