Save electrical energy and make a green choice
Our market unique HWC - Heating Water Circuit dishwashers, washers and dryers are developed to be heated by an economic and environmentally friendly source of heating water, such as district heating, geothermal heating or solar collector. By replacing the use of electrical energy to your appliances with heating water you will significantly reduce your electrical energy consumption.
You can save up to 90% electrical energy with
HWC products.

Heating water - a smart energy carrier
Every pre-school, apartment building or family house needs an energy source to provide heat and warm water to the facility. There are many energy sources to choose from, and today more and more people are choosing environmentally friendly options such as district heating, geothermal heating or solar collector. These energy sources will provide heating water to warm up the building and warm water to use in, say, the kitchen or bathroom.
With ASKO HWC products we also give you the unique and electrical energy-saving option to use this heating water to heat up the process water or process air in your dishwasher, washer or dryer.
Save electrical energy
Our HWC connected dishwashers, washers and dryers have a market unique construction that enables you to adapt your choice of appliance to your source of energy. These products use a circulating heating water flow through a heat exchanger inside the machine. This heats up the process water (in dishwashers and washers) or process air (in dryers), which reduces the need to operate the traditional electrical heating element inside the machines. This leads to a replacement of the majority (up to 90%) of the electrical power consumption. Of course our HWC products are also possible to run in standard mode in the absence of heating water, i.e. they can also use 100% electrical heating.
How does it work?
The heating water (supplied from district heating, solar collector or geothermal heating, for instance) is used through a heat exchanger inside the machine to heat up the process water for washers and dishwashers, and the process air in dryers.
The process water is the water that the washer or dishwasher uses to wash the laundry or clean the dishes. Inside the dryer the process air is used for drying the laundry.
Our HWC dishwasher, washer and dryer have two additional connections on the back of the machine. There is one connection for ingoing heating water (in red) and one for outgoing heating water (in blue). The process water (for dishwashers and washers) has its normal water connection to the machine (in yellow).
It is possible to set the HWC products to different modes: eco, auto and quick.

Green and unique solutions
The introduction of our HWC (Heating Water Circuit) products is an important and natural step in our environmental work. They are the result of an interesting project between ASKO and leading researchers, universities and energy companies. The project’s aim was to develop technologies and systems, which in an environmentally friendly and electrical energy saving way use heating water to operate household appliances. The market unique ASKO HWC dishwashers, washers and dryers give you the opportunity to significantly reduce your electrical energy consumption by using heating water as an energy carrier.
