rom the first washing tool, a broom

with four fingers at the bottom to

move the clothes around the bucket,

to the modern fully automated ones, wash-

ing machines have come a long way.

Washing machines are gradually emerg-

ing as an omnipresent dhobi in Indian

homes.

The market is flooded with many mod-

els, each boasting of a large number of

features and specialties. So you are likely

to get confused as to which washing ma-

chine to buy. A big disadvantage in shop-

ping for washing machines is that you

can’t try them out in showrooms. How-

ever, you can still choose the right ma-

chine for your needs if you’re able to un-

derstand the specifications included in the

product brochure. Here we detail what you

need to take into account while selecting

a fuzzy logic washing machine.

The basics

Washing machines incorporate a tub with

heating element and something to rotate

or scrub the clothes in the drum. Once

the water and detergent are added, me-

chanical action begin to soak and agitate

the clothes. Fuzzy logic electronics intelli-

gently improves the wash performance in

washing machines.

Washing machines are mainly of three

types, namely, semi-automatic, automatic,

and washer. In semi-automatic machines

the controls are not fully automatic and

manual intervention is required. In fully

automatic machines, no manual interven-

tion is required during the washing pro-

cess. Washers are single-tub machines that

only wash. Since washers don’t have the

facility for drying the clothes, these cost

less than semi-automatic and fully auto-

matic washing machines.

For automatic machines, programs

have to be selected and set by the user

prior to the start of wash cycle. Sensors

sense the wash load and decide the pro-

gram ideal for washing the clothes, water

level, time required to wash, number of

rinses and spins, type of fabric, etc. Fuzzy

logic washing machines with special sen-

sors are the most easy to use.

Fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic washing ma-

chines are gaining popularity. These ma-

chines offer the advantages of perfor-

mance, productivity, simplicity, productiv-

ity, and less cost. Sensors continually

monitor varying conditions inside the ma-

chine and accordingly adjust operations

for the best wash results. As there is no

standard for fuzzy logic, different machines

perform in different manners.

Typically, fuzzy logic controls

the washing process, water intake,

water temperature, wash time,

rinse performance, and spin speed.

This optimises the life span of the

washing machine. More sophisti-

cated machines weigh the load (so

you can’t overload the washing ma-

chine), advise on the required

amount of detergent, assess cloth

material type and water hardness,

and check whether the detergent

is in powder or liquid form. Some

machines even learn from past ex-

perience, memorising programs and

adjusting them to minimise run-

ning costs.

The diagnostic fault-finding sys-

tem displays a fault code if any

problem arises. You can then con-

vey this code to the service centre,

thus ensuring that the repair techni-

cian reaches with the right parts to fix

it without delay.

FUZZY LOGIC

WASHING MACHINES

The higher the spin speed, the dryer the clothes at the end of the washing cycle and hence the

shorter the drying time in the tumble dryer. Opt for a model that spins at more than 1000

revolutions per minute
