Objective
GREEN KITCHEN implements a research program aimed at developing and sharing crucial knowledge in the field of home appliances and their domotic integration, in order to further advance technologies and eco-design strategies needed for drastically improving energy efficiency (up to 50%). The project is strategically oriented at building an Industry-Academia Competence and Excellence Center targeted at a vision of Future Generation Integrated and High-Efficiency Home Appliances. It will bring together scientific competences in appliance manufacturing, thermodynamic processes,
electromagnetic cooling, sensors, actuators, signal processing and grid-integration, into a single experimental research environment to provide 23 researchers with the opportunity to work together and share knowledge. The project establishes 3
“Vertical” and 2 “Horizontal” Research Lines (RLs) covering main building blocks towards the vision of the GREEN KITCHEN. Each RL will explore new energy-efficient technologies in the context of concrete prototyping projects: Vertical Research Line 1: Advanced solutions for heat recovery -Prototyping project: developing novel heat recovery and heat reuse techniques. Vertical Research Line 2: Advanced resource sharing and waste recovery technologies -Prototyping project: Energy efficient combined home appliances, such as refrigerators and dishwashers, using novel heat recovery and other
resources re-use techniques. Vertical Research Line 3: Advanced solutions for refrigeration -Prototyping project: Energy efficient refrigerators, using magneto-caloric properties of new materials. Horizontal Research Line 1: Advanced control technologies for cooking and refrigeration of food -Prototyping project: innovative sensors and actuators. Horizontal Research Line 2: Advanced domotic integration of energy efficient appliances -Prototyping project: innovative domotic control unit.
