Olfs & Ringen Alfa Mix Autostart

The control device for the washing machine. With modern heating systems powered by solar energy, gas, oil, or district heating, hot water can be provided four times more efficiently and cost-effectively than with electricity. Significant losses and environmental impacts associated with electricity generation are avoided. Washing machines are among the largest electricity consumers in households. ALFA MIX enables the feeding of hot water from solar and conventional hot water systems.

The energy-saving machine. Up to 90% of the energy used during washing is for heating the water. ALFA MIX reduces the electricity consumption of the washing machine by an average of 50%. A household can save up to 300 kWh of electricity per year with this device.

Washing with solar heat. If you already have a solar hot water system, using ALFA MIX is even more worthwhile. Feeding solar-heated water into the washing machine increases the energy yield of your solar collectors and makes the use of solar energy even more economical. This device also features a magnetic sensor that detects the opening of the washing machine's solenoid valve and starts ALFA MIX during the first rinse.

Technical specifications: Operating voltage: 230 V/50 Hz, device voltage: 12 V, power consumption: max. 10 Watts (standby: <0.1 Watts), energy consumption: approx. 0.016 kWh per wash cycle, housing: steel sheet, white powder-coated, dimensions: W=130 mm; H=190 mm; D=60 mm, hose connections: 3/4" external thread, connection hose: 1 m, total runtime: 3 hours (adjustable from 3-4 hours).

To prevent water from flowing back into the supply network while ALFA MIX is switched on, we recommend installing a check valve at each connection to the supply network.
