Definitions
- the present invention relates to dishwashing machines, and in particular to a dishwasher for domestic use provided with means to carry out a pre-heating cycle.
- the preferred arrangement is that of heating the water directly in the dishwasher at the beginning of the washing cycle, and then again during the cycle in order to keep the water at the required temperature.
- the initial heating step contributes to the prolonging of the overall duration of the cycle which sometimes the user might wish to shorten, e.g. in order to have the clean dishes available sooner and/or to be able to carry out sooner the washing of another load of dishes.
- Some types of dishwasher allow to shorten the length of the washing cycle by carrying out a pre-heating cycle prior to the loading of the dishes.
- the dishwasher when the dishwasher is still empty, the water is loaded and initially heated by activating the washing pump and sprinkling the water through the sprinklers until the desired temperature is reached.
- the dishwasher indicates to the user that the water has reached the set temperature, then he can load the dishes and start the real washing cycle.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher suitable to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- a first fundamental advantage of the dishwasher according to the present invention is that it carries out the pre-heating cycle in a shorter time and with a lower consumption of water and electric power.
- a second significant advantage of this dishwasher is that it restricts to the tank bottom the spread of hot water, whereby the user does not run any risk of burning himself and can easily load the dishwasher as soon as the pre-heating cycle is over.
- a further advantage of this restricted spread of the heated water is the greater "thermal inertia" of the machine, which reduces the decrease in temperature of the water in case the user does not immediately start the washing cycle. In this way, there is a reduction in the waste of energy caused by the need to re-heat the water if the user lets it cool down for some time.
- a dishwasher conventionally includes a washing pump P connected through a first duct Cl to the upper sprinkler U and through a second duct C2 to the lower sprinkler L.
- the water reaches pump P through a third duct C3 coming from the collecting chamber R formed on the bottom of the tank, a first heating member H1 being spiral-wound around said supply duct C3.
- One or more further heating members may be provided, for example, in the form of an immersed heater H2 or a contact heater H3 arranged behind a wall of the tank.
- the temperature of the water is detected in chamber R by a sensor S connected to a control unit (not shown) which provides the deactivation of the heating member(s) when the water reaches the set temperature.
- the novel aspect of the dishwasher according to the present invention consists of a pair of valves V1, V2 arranged so as to respectively close ducts C1, C2, and of a recirculation duct F branching out from duct C2 (upstream from valve V2) and terminating into chamber R. Also duct F may be closed by a valve VF, if present, which however is not used during the pre-heating step.
- the dishwasher loads the pre-established amount of water while valves V1 and V2 interrupt the delivery to the upper U and lower L sprinklers, respectively.
- the pump P is activated together with the heating member H1, whereby the water is heated by circulating only in the lower portion of the dishwasher between pump P and chamber R through ducts F and C3.
- the control unit deactivates pump P and heater H1 and sends out an optical and/or acoustic signal of "machine ready".
- pump P and heater H1 are activated again to take the water back to the set temperature.
- valves V1 and V2 are deactivated through a double opening/closing cycle so as to prevent a thermal shock to the other parts of the machine not affected by the pre-heating.
- valves V1, V2 are not immediately opened and left open, but they are firstly opened a couple of times for a few seconds and then closed again, before the final opening lasting for the whole washing cycle when, on the contrary, valve VF, if present, is closed.
- the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the dishwasher according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications.
- the illustrated embodiment there are provided two valves V1, V2 since pump P has two separate deliveries for the two sprinklers U, L, but it is clear that in case of a single-delivery pump with subsequent branching of ducts C1, C2, F a single three-way valve controlling the delivery to the three ducts C1, C2 and F would be sufficient.
- the heating of the water may be carried out by a heater placed in a different location with respect to the illustrated heater H1, e.g. a heater in chamber R or on duct F, or by more than one heater.
