1. 6- THE THEORY OF WASHING PROGRAMS Chapter 6 summary Enter

2. A washing program is the detailed list of instructions required to establish the physical and chemical characteristics of a process of detergency. DEFINITION: Physical characteristics Intensity of mechanical action Duration of action Temperature level Chemical characteristics Quantity and type of detergent

3. Requirements of a program Removing Linen that is pleasant to the touch Fabrics that are gentle on the user’s skin No wear on the linen Freeing the fabrics of micro-organisms Maintaining optimum cost levels Goal of a washing program:

4. Programming variations: Factors involved in designing a washing program:

5. Programming variations: In short, they are designed taking into account: Type of fibre Type and quantity of soiling Type of machinery Production requirements

6. The phases of a washing program

7. Girbau programming structure FunctionPhaseProgram

8. Girbau programming structure Repeating the same sequence: Water filling Level control Temperature control Addition of chemical products Cooling control (optional) Managing the bath Intensity Duration Mechanical action Duration Centrifugal force Draining

9. Each action performed by the washing machine during a washing program is known as a function. Function

10. Phase A phase is the grouping together of a set of functions arranged in sequence from the input of water into the washer to the draining of said water.

11. Program A program is a set of phases grouped together in a defined sequence, and the aim in executing this program is to treat the fabrics involved.
