Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a thermoelectric module.
  • the dehumidification step is started after the washing and rinsing steps.
  • the dehumidification step it is aimed to remove the water remaining on the dishes and also to prevent the moisture in the tub from leaving stains on the dishes getting cold after the rinsing step by condensing.
  • the last rinsing step is performed with hot water in order to remove the water remaining on the dishes in an easier way in the dehumidification step.
  • humid air in the tub is passed through a channel produced from plastic material and situated next to the tub.
  • thermoelectric modules which provide the hotness and coldness effect to be emitted to the environment according to the direction of the current applied thereon, are utilized but devices that accelerate the dehumidification process such as condenser, heater are also required besides thermoelectric modules.
  • a dishwasher which comprises a thermoelectric module disposed on the air channel.
  • the humid air received from the tub first condenses by passing from the cold side of the thermoelectric module and then heats up by passing from the hot side of the thermoelectric module and is returned back into the tub.
  • thermoelectric module positioned between the tub and the air channel.
  • the hot side of the thermoelectric module increases the temperature of the air that passes through the air channel by contacting the air channel and the cold side is used for cooling the tub wall.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher wherein the moisture that remains in the tub at the end of the washing process is effectively removed.
  • an air channel located outside the tub, both ends of which are connected to the tub and a thermoelectric module disposed in the air channel are situated.
  • the thermoelectric module includes a cold side which forms a coldness effect by absorbing the ambient heat and a hot side which radiates heat to the environment.
  • the hot and cold sides of the thermoelectric module are positioned so as to be base to base.
  • the air channel comprises a condensing channel whereon the cold side of the thermoelectric module is disposed and a heating channel whereon the hot side of the thermoelectric module is disposed, which divide the air entering therein into two such that the air flows parallel.
  • the heating and the condensing channels are separated from each other by means of a surface which separates the surface of the air channel cross-section into two.
  • the thermoelectric module is placed on the said surface such that the cold side thereof extends into the condensing channel and the hot side extends into the heating channel.
  • heat exchangers which provide the heat in the respective region to be distributed into the channel in which the heat exchanger is located, are disposed on the cold side and the hot side of the thermoelectric module.
  • the heat exchanger disposed on the cold side is called the cold side heat exchanger and the heat exchanger disposed on the hot side is called the hot side heat exchanger.
  • Both of the heat exchangers are preferably in finned configuration.
  • the heating channel has a cross-sectional area greater than that of the condensing channel. Since the air received into the air channel through the inlet port has the characteristic of being almost homogeneously dispersed along the air channel cross-section, the rate of the cross-sectional areas of the heating and condensing channels determines the rate of the amount of the air entering the said channels.
  • the air the temperature of which increases inside the heating channel increases the tub ambient temperature and provides the water on the dishes to be removed.
  • energy saving is provided by decreasing the temperature value to be reached by the tub at the end of the hot rinsing step and hence the operation duration of the heater in the said step.
  • the amount of the moisture in the air in the tub is decreased in the condensing channel.
  • the humid air is prevented from leaving stains on the dishes by condensing after the rinsing step.
  • Figure 1 – is the schematic view of a dishwasher.
  • the dishwasher (1) comprises a tub (2) wherein the washing process is performed, an air channel (6) located outside the tub (2), both ends of which are connected to the tub (2), an inlet port (3) which provides the air in the tub (2) to enter the air channel (6), an outlet port (4) which provides the air in the air channel (6) to return back to the tub (2), a fan (5) which sucks and delivers the air in the tub (2) to the air channel (6) and a thermoelectric module (7) disposed in the air channel (6).
  • thermoelectric module (7) comprises a cold side (8) that provides the dehumidifying air to be condensed and a hot side (9) that provides it to be heated.
  • the air channel (6) comprises a condensing channel (10) contacting the cold side (8) of the thermoelectric module (7) and a heating channel (11) contacting the hot side (9), which are positioned so as to be back to back and which provide the air entering therein to flow parallelly by being divided into two and to return back to the tub (2) by joining ( Figure 1).
  • thermoelectric module (7) is activated and while the temperature of the cold side (8) decreases, the temperature of the hot side (9) increases.
  • the fan (5) which is activated almost simultaneously with the thermoelectric module (7), the air in the tub (2) is received to the air channel (6). After moving through the air channel (6) for a while, the humid air is divided into two.
  • the condensing channel (10) While some of the air enters the condensing channel (10) cooled by means of the cold side (8) of the thermoelectric module (7), the rest enters the heating channel (11) heated by means of the hot side (9) of the thermoelectric module (7).
  • the air with increased temperature that exits the heating channel (11) and the air with decreased moisture rate that exits the condensing channel (10) join at a point of the air channel (6) close to the outlet port (4) and return back to the tub (2) from the outlet port (4).
  • the tub (2) interior temperature the water remaining on the dishes is provided to be removed and the amount of the moisture in the tub (2) is provided to be reduced.
  • the dishwasher (1) comprises a cold side (8) heat exchanger (12) disposed on the cold side (8) of the thermoelectric module (7), extending towards into the condensing channel (10) and which contacts and thus accelerates the condensing of the air passing through the condensing channel (10) and a hot side (9) heat exchanger (13) disposed on the hot side (9) of the thermoelectric module (7), extending towards into the heating channel (11) and which contacts the air passing through the heating channel (11) and thus accelerates the heat transfer.
  • the said heat exchangers (12, 13) the hotness effects in the condensing channel (10) and the heating channel (11) are emitted inside the channel.
  • the cross-sectional area of the heating channel (11) is greater than the cross-sectional area of the condensing channel (10).
  • the amount of the air received into the heating channel (11) is provided to be greater than the amount of the air received into the condensing channel (10).
  • the thermoelectric module (7) operates more efficiently and the dehumidification effectiveness of the dishwasher (1) is provided to be increased.
  • the temperature of the air in the tub (2) is increased and the moisture thereof is decreased. Consequently, the tub (2) interior temperature to be reached at the end of the rinsing step in order to realize the desired dehumidification performance is decreased. Accordingly, the heater used for heating the water in the hot rinsing step is operated for a shorter period of time and energy saving is provided. Moreover, the humid air in the tub (2) is prevented from leaving stains on the dishes after the rinsing step by condensing.
