Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a device for drying the dishes at the end of the washing process of a dishwasher.
- At the end of the washing process of a dishwasher, in order to dry the dishes, it is necessary to evaporate the water left on said dishes, and it is necessary that the following conditions are met:
- a) the air within the dishwasher must have a steam content lower than the saturation level;
- b) the water on the dishes must have a temperature higher than the dew point temperature of the air.
-
- Therefrom, the need to reduce the steam content of the air or to heat the air or to substitute the air contained in the dishwasher with other air having a lower steam content.
- In order to condense the steam contained in the air, said steam has to transfer heat to a body at a temperature lower than the dew point temperature of the air-steam mixture.
- Some manufacturers use electric resistors to heat the air inside the dishwasher and therefore to lower the relative humidity, in order to enhance the drying process.
- The disadvantage of said process is the significant consumption of electric energy. Then, the normal heat dissipation towards the outside environment causes the decrease of the temperature of the tank walls and the condensing of the steam on said walls.
- Other manufacturers use fans to draw the steam from the dishwasher and to send it into the outside environment; the so expelled air-steam mixture is substituted with outside air which contains dust which can dirty the dishes.
- Another disadvantage of this process is the introduction of steam and of odours into the environment.
- Further, this type of process is not suitable with the integral built-in dishwashers in the kitchen furniture.
- Other manufacturers use cold water in order to cool one or more inside walls of the dishwasher whereon the steam can condense; this solution has the advantage that it does not consume any amount of energy, but the lack of ventilation obstructs the water evaporation from the dishes, since the air moves only because of weak convective movements caused by the different temperatures on the various tank walls.
- The purpose of the present invention is to realise a device to enhance the drying process of the dishes at the end of the washing process of a dishwasher, said device being free from the above described disadvantages.
- According to the present invention, a device for drying the dishes at the end of the washing process of a dishwasher is realised, said device is characterised by comprising a condensing duct connected, at its inlet and outlet sections, to the washing tank of the dishwasher, a forced conduction device of an air-steam mixture along said duct, and heat exchange means positioned along the duct, and maintained at a temperature substantially lower than the dew point temperature of said mixture.
- The invention will now be described making reference to the attached drawings, which describe a non limiting example of an embodiment, wherein:
- figure 1 shows, in a schematic way, a dishwasher provided with a first preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention;
- figure 2 is a schematic side elevation view of the device of figure 1;
- figure 3 is a schematic side elevation view of a second preferred embodiment of the device of figure 1;
- figure 4 is a front view of a third type of embodiment of the device of figure 1, said view has sectional views of some of the parts and some exploded parts for clarity sake;
- figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view, with some exploded parts for clarity sake, of a detail of figure 4; and
- figure 6 is a side elevation view of the device of figure 4, said view has sectional views of some of the parts and some exploded parts for clarity sake.
- Referring to figure 1,
numeral 1 indicates, as a whole, a device for drying the dishes at the end of the washing process of a dishwasher 10. - The
device 1 comprises acondensing duct 11 which extends outside adish washing tank 12, and said duct is fully positioned inside the dishwasher 10, and anelectric fan 13 suitable to feed an air-steam mixture 14 along saidduct 11. - The
duct 11 comprises an inlet 11i and an outlet 11u directly connected to thetank 12, while the electric fan comprises afan 30 positioned within theduct 11, substantially at the outlet 11u or along saidduct 11, and adriving motor 31 suitable to rotate thefan 30 so as to draw themixture 14 from thetank 12 and to make said mixture advance in a feed direction D along saidduct 11. - The
device 1 further comprises awater tank 16, which is suitable to be filled with a certain amount of water at the beginning of the drying process, and which is provided with aheat exchange wall 15 positioned inside theduct 11, and maintained at a temperature lower than the dew point temperature of the air by said water. The heat exchange between themixture 14, which circulates inside theduct 11, and thewall 15 causes the condensing of at least a portion of the steam of saidmixture 14. - The size of said
tank 16 is a function of the amount of steam which needs to be condensed; in fact, since thedevice 1 is a closed device, i.e. a device which does not have any outside emissions, said device works by using the water thermal capacity in order to accumulate the steam condensing energy. - If the overall dimensions do not allow a sufficient water capacity, it is possible to divide the drying process by changing one or more times the warmed up water load of the
tank 16 with cool water. - In order to enhance the heat exchange, the
wall 15 has a sufficiently reduced thickness, while the corresponding exchange surface 15s which faces the inside of theduct 11 has an elevated exchange area. In the non limiting example of embodiment shown in figure 2, the surface 15s has a bellows-like shape, but it can have any other shape and it can be realised with any kind of material. - As an alternative to water, the
tank 16 can contain other materials as, for instance, waxes, paraffin, some phosphate salts, PCM (Phase Change Material), which allow to accumulate heat through physical changes or through endothermic chemical reactions. - No replacement is provided for these materials inside the
tank 16, and the heat accumulated in said materials to maintain thewall 15 at a temperature lower than the dew point temperature of the air is transferred to the outside environment during the rest period of the dishwasher 10 between the washing cycles, and, in order to enhance the heat exchange between the outside environment and thetank 16, the latter can be installed, for instance, in an opening (not shown) of the dishwasher 10. - Further, the
device 1 comprises afeed opening 17 to feed cool water to thetank 16, and a discharge opening 19 to discharge the heated water from saidtank 16; while theduct 11 is provided with adischarge outlet 18 for the condensate, which is collected by the gravity force from the surface 15s at saiddischarge outlet 18. - The
discharge outlet 18 is connected alternatively to a small well (not shown) in the dishwasher 10, or directly to thetank 12, and, in this case, in order to avoid flooding theduct 11 with the washing water, thedischarge outlet 18 is provided with a stop solenoid valve (not shown and of a known type), or with a float (not shown and of a known type) suitable to automatically close saiddischarge outlet 18. - According to what is shown in figure 3, the
tank 16 could also be defined by abag 20 hermetically sealed placed inside theduct 11 and which is not in contact with saidduct 11 so as to have its outer surface 15s fully surrounded by themixture 14. - Because of the partial condensing of the steam, the air-steam mixture at the outlet 11u of the
condensing duct 11 has a lower steam content with respect to the inlet conditions into saidduct 11. - The position of the
electric fan 13 used to circulate the air is also important, in fact, by placing theelectric fan 13 at the outlet 11u of thecondensing duct 11, it is possible to maintain the pressure inside saidduct 11 at a value lower than the value of the environment pressure because of the normal pressure drops inside the ducts: this fact further enhances the condensing since the pressure value influences the saturation temperature. Further, by placing also themotor 31 inside theduct 11 and by making the air, before it goes back into thetank 12 of the dishwasher 10, get in touch and cool saidmotor 31, a partial heating of the air itself is obtained with a consequent further decrease of the relative humidity. The power dissipated by themotor 31 is therefore used to further enhance the drying process. - However, the
electric fan 13 can be placed at any point of theduct 11, according to the production needs, without, for this reason, significantly jeopardising the just described advantages with respect to the positioning of saidelectric fan 13 at the outlet 11u. - Figures 4, 5 and 6 show a preferred embodiment of the
device 1, wherein, for reasons of overall dimensions, theduct 11 is mounted laterally and below thetank 12, and theelectric fan 13 is placed inside theduct 11 and directly below thetank 12. - In particular, in order to avoid at the same time that the washing water floods the
duct 11, the inlet 11i is provided with a vertical siphon 51, while the outlet 11u is provided with a correspondingvertical siphon 52, which is positioned on the same plane of the siphon 51 and themixture 14 passes vertically through saidsiphon 52 to reduce its speed and to enhance the heat exchange with thewall 15, which defines a rear wall both for the siphon 51 and for thesiphon 52. - The fact that the two
siphons 51 and 52 are integral with thewall 15 allows to take the best advantage of the available room by reducing to the minimum requirements the overall dimensions of thedevice 1. - At least the
fan 30 of theelectric fan 31 is enclosed in a fluidtight box 53, which defines an intermediate portion of theduct 11, and it is positioned below thetank 12, and it comprises an elbow shaped inlet 53i connected to thesiphon 52 in order to fully insulate saidelectric fan 13 from thetank 12. - Said box comprises two side appendices, wherein the
appendix 54 defines an elbow shaped inlet duct for the siphon 51, while theappendix 55 has aninlet duct 56 and anoutlet duct 57 of the water from thetank 16. In particular, the siphon 51 is substantially U-shaped and has its concave portion facing downward, while thesiphon 52 has substantially an upside-down L shape and extends from the outlet 53u until it reaches the outlet 11u, and it is provided with a plurality ofinner bent tiles 58 suitable to obstruct the free flow of themixture 14. - In the example of embodiment shown in figures 4, 5 and 6, the
fan 30 is a fan which has an axial inlet flow and a radial outlet flow in order to feed both the outlet 53u and theappendix 54 so as to enhance the circulation of themixture 14 along theduct 11. - It is understood that the invention is not limited by the herein described and shown embodiments, which have to be considered as realisation examples of the
device 1 for the drying process of the dishes, which is instead suitable for further changes with respect to part shapes and to part positioning, and to production and assembly details.
