Product description

The XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer was developed exclusively for the industry-leading D|13 Systems by D|13 Group. Their sink systems seamlessly fuse our XLERATORsync Hand Dryer on the sink deck allowing users to wash, rinse, and dry hands all in one place, as a result, no water is left on the floor. The XLERATORsync Hand Dryer operates at 120V. Total years of estimated service life (ESL) is 730,000 uses over 10 years of service life.

Interpretation

Interpretation is the last phase of an LCA, although it is typically done iteratively to inform and refine the goal and scope. In this section, the results are examined based on the data quality and consistency. Key assumptions are reviewed to ensure that conclusions and recommendations are consistent with the goal and scope. It should be noted that LCA results are based on a relative approach and indicate potential environmental effects therefore do not predict actual impacts on category impacts. Based on the results and study assumptions, methods and data, the cradle-to-grave impacts for XLERATOR® Hand Dryer are dominated by B1, Use Phase (90.6% to 97%), followed by A1, Raw Materials (2.1% to 8.8%).

LCIA results are relative expressions and do not predict impacts on category endpoints, the exceeding of thresholds, safety margins or risks. EPDs are comparable only when they follow the same PCR, functional unit and system boundary. The full EPD (PDF) contains the methodology, scenario assumptions and verification statement.
