Automatic Hand Dryers VS. Manual Hand Dryers
Automatic Hand Dryers VS
Automatic Hand Dryers VS. Manual Hand DryersThere are two different hand dryers used in public washrooms. The automatic dryer and the manual dryer are what I am going to discuss along with the reasons why the automatic has proved to better of the two; environmentally and hygienically.
Automatic dryers are just that, by putting your hand near the infrared light allows the air to come out without physically touching the machine. The manual hand dryer needs to have the button on the front to start the motor to allow the hot air to flow to dry your hands. The manual dryer was the next step developed to use instead of paper towels.
Of course the most efficient hand dryer is the newest version, the automatic for very good reasons. One reason is that hygienically since nothing is actually touched there is no bacteria spread. Second reason the air is not hot like the manual dryer, result no bacteria. The manual dryer has forced hot air which may cause bacteria and the newer models (the automatic) use forced air that is approximately 50 degrees warmer than the surrounding air. Manual dryers using the hot air use more electricity. So, now we are not only talking that the automatics are more efficient drying your hands with no bacteria spread but they are also good for the environment.
The manual hot air hand dryer was better than using paper towels and the automatic even better than the two types previous. Manual dryers have their place in the evolution of hand dryers. As of this date we have learned that the automatic is environmentally greener.
Whether we use the manual or the automatic dryers; hygienically and environmentally are better. We are not chopping down trees to create paper towels and the situation with having creating more trash is eliminated. No one needs to touch the dirty used paper towels for disposal. No waste to put in landfills makes us a greener society.
Over time we have progressed from using outdoor latrines with no place to wash and dry our hands to the modern use of automatic toilets, faucets, soap dispensers, and the automatic hand dryer. With the advent of technology our washrooms have improved hygienically and are more proficient with the use of our energies. The automatic dryer only takes 10 - 15 seconds to dry your hands.
With so many people using public washrooms there was a need to improve them hygienically and environmentally. The automatic hand dryer has made our lives better by using less power than the manual, creating a cleaner area and allowing our environment to be greener.
