A simple, straightforward method, utilizing the concepts of classical adiabatic calorimetry, is described for the direct measurement of total energy delivery to a functional wash system. For this work a full‐sized vertical axis automatic washer was modified for utilization as a calorimeter. The application of this equipment, and the rationale of this approach in studying the energetics of soil removal are discussed. To illustrate this technique, the effects of agitation frequency and detergent concentration on power consumption by the wash system are considered.
