- deposits such as lime, organic compounds such as hydrocarbons, or lint
- steam from the steam generator 137 passes as directly as possible to the catalyst surfaces.
- FIG Fig. 3 A schematic sequence of steps in the cleaning mode is shown in the form of a flow chart in FIG Fig. 3 shown.
- the cleaning mode may be automatically activated depending on the normal operating time or intensity of use or manually selected by the operator via the input device. However, even with a manual initiation of the cleaning mode, it is preferable to inform the user in advance in the form of a message about the dispenser or status indication that cleaning of the apparatus is advisable.
- the unit After the cleaning mode is selected, the unit will switch to a mode that is different from normal operation.
- the fan 141 is completely switched off, at least in a first cleaning phase, or operated at a reduced speed compared with normal operation.
- the process air heater 144 is either turned off or operated at reduced heat output over normal operation. In this operating state Therefore, the device is preferably cooled to the ambient temperature and the circulation through the circulation system is no longer supported by the fan 141.
- the activator 142 for the catalyst 143 ie in the present example, the UV (C) lamp is turned on.
- the steam generator 137 is activated.
- the controller 21 may undergo a test mode. In this test mode, it is checked whether the steam generator 137, a sufficient amount of water is available. If the amount of water is insufficient, the controller 21 generates, for example, a corresponding message or display that is displayed via the output unit. The user is then prompted to fill the fresh water tank.
- the intervals at which steam is introduced into the shaft are preferably shorter than the intervals at which no steam is introduced into the shaft, for example by a factor of 5 to 10 shorter. Accordingly, the length of a steam-introducing interval is, for example, 5 minutes, while a subsequent interval without steam injection is 30 minutes.
- the length of the intervals is preferably dimensioned such that steam can condense on the catalyst surfaces 143 and run off the catalyst surfaces in the subsequent vapor-free interval.
- the condensed water is collected in a sump, such as the tub 139 at the bottom of the device 10, and pumped into the waste water tank.
- the level of the waste water tank can also be monitored by the controller 21 to prevent overflow during cleaning.
- the UV (C) lamp 142 After passing through one or more steam generation intervals and the subsequent steam-free intervals, the UV (C) lamp 142 is turned off.
- the total duration of irradiation of the catalyst by UV (C) lamp 142 during the cleaning phase may be 8 hours or more.
- the fan 140 can be activated in a further step in order to liberate the shaft from residues, which can result from the UV (C) irradiation, by circulating the process medium.
- the heater 144 and / or the heat pump assembly may be activated to dry the device 10.
- the steam generator may also be activated again at the end of the cleaning phase, e.g. To reduce odors from substances such as ozone, which are caused by the UV (C) radiation.
- the cleaning mode is activated in the example described only when the usable space 12 is not occupied by filling.
- the controller 21 may issue a corresponding message to the operator.
- the entire duration of the cleaning mode is preferably designed for 5 to 8 hours, and the cleaning mode may therefore be well e.g. be traversed during a night.
- the invention can also be found in other household appliances application having a circulation system with catalyst and heat pump.
- a selection of such devices is for example in the cited patent application EP 2241826 A1 to find and includes dishwashers, washing machines and the like Equipment.
- the steam generator may also be useful to provide the steam generator with at least two separate outputs in the circulation system of the process medium. While the first output is associated with the operation of the apparatus in accordance with the invention and is activated during cleaning of the catalysts, the second output may be associated with normal operation and e.g. directly into the utility space of the device, so that steam reaches the working space without first flowing over the catalyst surfaces.
