Definitions
- the invention relates to a dishwasher with a tub for receiving dishes, with a cooling device for cooling at least one wall of the tub and with a controller for controlling the cleaning process.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating such a dishwasher.
- the cleaning process comprises an actual cleaning phase in which the dishes are cleaned in one or (usually) several washing cycles with process water, partly with the addition of cleaning agents. Furthermore, the cleaning process comprises a drying phase in which the dishes are dried.
- the controller heats up the tub and in particular the washware contained therein, usually by the process water is heated in the rinse cycle to a relatively high temperature, for example 50-60 ° C. Then begins the drying phase, in which a cooling device, for example in the form of a blower is activated to at least one wall of the tub or an exchange surface with the tub air to cool.
- a cooling device for example in the form of a blower is activated to at least one wall of the tub or an exchange surface with the tub air to cool.
- control of the dishwasher is configured to control the cooling device in the drying phase such that the center temperature of the tub is between 3 ° and 10 ° C above the temperature of the cooled wall.
- center temperature of the tub is to be understood as the temperature which the process air in the middle of the tub assumes.
- the invention is based on the finding that in conventional processes at least over part of the drying process mist is formed in the region of the cooled wall, ie the air spontaneously condenses into suspended droplets.
- This mist formation represents a less efficient drying process than the direct condensation on the tub wall, along which the water can flow.
- the mist can rewet the dishes and thus counteract the drying process.
- condensed droplets significantly hinder the exchange process caused by diffusion or convection. It can be seen that the formation of mist can be at least largely avoided if the temperature difference between the middle of the Vat and the wall is limited to about 10 °. However, the temperature difference should be at least 1 °, otherwise the drying rate drops.
- control for maintaining the desired temperature difference is preferably configured to increase the cooling performance of the cooling device in several steps or continuously during the drying phase.
- the cooling device has a control loop to control the temperature of the wall to a desired value.
- This control loop may be at least partially implemented in the software of the controller.
- the controller is configured to lower the setpoint in the drying phase in several steps or continuously. In this way, regardless of the efficiency of the cooling device (which may be dependent on the ambient temperature, for example), it can be well ensured that the temperature difference remains within the desired range.
- the invention is particularly suitable for dishwashers in which no means for actively circulating air in the tub are provided. Under active circulation is thereby a circulation by mechanical means, such. Fans and blowers, as opposed to a passive circulation due to convection effects.
- the problem of fog formation is particularly prominent in devices in which the air is passively circulated and thus the moisture transport in the air based on free convection and diffusion.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating a dishwasher with a tub for receiving dishes and with a cooling device for cooling at least one wall of the tub.
- a cleaning process comprising a cleaning phase and a drying phase, wherein in the drying phase, the wall of the tub is cooled with the cooling device.
- the cooling device is controlled such that the center temperature of the tub is between 1 ° and 10 °, in particular 2 ° - 6 ° C, above the temperature of the wall.
- the dishwasher according to Fig. 1 has a tub 1 for receiving the dishes.
- a tub 1 for receiving the dishes.
- crockery baskets, spray arms and other means for receiving and cleaning the dishes are provided in a conventional manner. These components are not central in the present context and therefore not shown in the figure.
- the apparatus further has a cooling device 3 for cooling at least one wall of the tub 1, in the present example for cooling the door 2 opposite the rear wall 4.
- the cooling device is configured in the present example as a fan that sucks ambient air from the base portion of the front of the device. The air thus conveyed passes along the rear wall 4 and is then blown out through the front of the appliance via the tub. Thus, the fan is configured to cool the wall 4 by means of ambient air.
- controller 5 which controls the operation of the components of the device according to user inputs.
- the controller 5 is a process controller which is designed to carry out the process steps described here.
- the device continues to have (in Fig. 1 not shown) in a conventional manner, a water-carrying system comprising a fresh water supply for supplying fresh water, a water circulation system to convey water from the sump of the tub in the spray devices, and a system for discharging spent water into the sewer.
- Heating means are attached to the water circulation system and / or the tub to heat the process water.
- a detergent addition allows the controlled, process-controlled addition of washing reagents, such as dishwashing or Glanzmaschineer.
- FIG. 1 two further (optional) temperature sensors are shown.
- a wall temperature sensor 6 is used to measure the temperature of the rear wall 4.
- a control temperature sensor 7 is spaced from the wall 4, preferably at a distance of at least 10 cm, and also measures the temperature at or in the tub 1. The objects of these sensors will be discussed below described in more detail.
- the controller 5 controls the components of the device according to a user-selected cleaning program. At least one of the selectable cleaning programs is designed to carry out a cleaning process in accordance with the procedure described below.
- the controller 5 supplies process water to the tub 1 to clean the dishes.
- This phase may include several process water cycles, e.g. a pre-wash without dishwashing detergent and a main wash with the addition of dishwashing detergent. There may also be provided further process water cycles with or without the addition of dishwashing detergent.
- the process water can optionally be heated, typically at temperatures between 40 and 50 ° C. Between process water cycles, the process water is partially or completely discharged and replaced with new water.
- the cooling device 3 preferably remains switched off.
- the end of the cleaning phase is formed by a rinse cycle, in which the tub 1 fresh process water and rinse aid are supplied.
- the water is heated to a relatively high temperature of about 50-60 ° C so as to supply heat to the tub 1 and in particular the dishes. Thereafter, the water is drained.
- Fig. 2 shows in the upper diagram the course of the center temperature (solid line) and the wall temperature (dotted line), and in the lower diagram the cooler performance (ie, the electric power supplied to the cooling device).
- the cooling device 3 can (optionally) initially be operated with a relatively high cooling capacity, to rapidly lower the temperature of the wall 4 by 1-10 ° C below the center temperature. Then, the cooling device is operated in the drying phase from time t1 so that the wall temperature is set in the range of 1 - 10 ° C below the center temperature. Since during the drying phase, the center temperature in the tub continuously decreases, the cooling of the wall 4 must be increasingly strong, as shown in the lower diagram of Fig. 2 is shown to maintain the desired temperature difference.
- Fig. 2 is shown a continuous increase in the cooling capacity from time t1. However, this increase can also take place in several discontinuous steps.
- Cooling power is to be understood as the power averaged over a period of a few minutes, in particular of at most 5 minutes, which power is supplied to the cooling device 3.
- the cooling may be e.g. also in the form of short "cooling pulses” of e.g. for a few seconds, increasing the intensity or length of the cooling pulses over time.
- drying phase in the sense of the claims is the in Fig. 2 between t1 and t2, in which the cooling capacity increases in several steps or continuously and the temperature of the wall is lower than the center temperature by the said difference.
- the length of this drying phase is at least 10 minutes, in particular at least 20 minutes.
- the cooling capacity is preferably increased by at least 50% in order to take account of the cooling of the bottom temperature.
- the invention is based on the idea that the air on the cooled wall 4 is not too supersaturated.
- the quantity ⁇ which corresponds to the ratio between the partial pressure of water vapor in the gas and the vapor pressure at a given temperature, is preferably between 1.04 and 1.05, which (depending on the absolute temperature and as described above) as a certain temperature difference between wall and center temperature can be expressed.
- a wall temperature sensor 6 is provided, by means of which the temperature of the wall 4 can be controlled.
- the cooling device 3, the controller 5 and the temperature sensor 6 form a control loop, with which the temperature of the wall 4 is adjusted to a desired value.
- the controller 5 is designed to lower this setpoint in the drying phase continuously or in several steps.
- the setpoint is preferably reduced by at least 10 ° C, in particular at least 20 ° C, so as to take into account the corresponding reduction of the center temperature, which is also at least 10 ° C, in particular at least 20 ° C.
- a control temperature sensor 7 may be provided with which the temperature at or in the tub 1 at a distance from the cooled wall can be measured.
- the signal of such a sensor is a measure of the center temperature of the tub 1, so that it can be pulled up for better control of the cooling device 3 zoom.
- the controller 5 may be configured to control the radiator output depending on the difference of the temperatures on the wall 4 and the control temperature sensor 7 - the smaller this temperature difference is, the bigger the cooler performance has to be.
- the setpoint temperature for the wall 4 is reduced in the drying phase according to a determined by the device manufacturer target profile. This desired course is e.g. determined in the manufacturer's experiments so that the desired temperature difference for conventional loads and process parameters is maintained.
- the wall temperature sensor 6 can be dispensed with.
- the cooling capacity is increased stepwise or continuously in accordance with a desired course determined by the device manufacturer. This nominal course is also used e.g. determined in the manufacturer's experiments so that the desired temperature difference for conventional loads and process parameters is maintained.
- the drying time and / or the temperature of the rinse cycle can be reduced compared to conventional devices with a constant drying result.
Abstract
In einem Geschirrspüler wird in der Trocknungsphase mindestens eine Wand (4) des Bottichs (1) gekühlt, um das Auskondensieren von Wasser aus der Prozessluft zu beschleunigen. Dabei wird sichergestellt, dass die Temperatur der Wand (4) höchstens 10°C unter der Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs (1) liegt. Auf diese Weise kann eine extensive Nebelbildung, welche den Trocknungsprozess beeinträchtigen kann, vermieden werden.In a dishwasher, at least one wall (4) of the tub (1) is cooled in the drying phase in order to accelerate the condensation of water out of the process air. This ensures that the temperature of the wall (4) is at most 10 ° C below the center temperature of the tub (1). In this way, extensive mist formation, which may affect the drying process, can be avoided.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geschirrspüler mit einem Bottich zur Aufnahme von Geschirr, mit einer Kühlvorrichtung zum Kühlen mindestens einer Wand des Bottichs und mit einer Steuerung zum Steuern des Reinigungsprozesses. Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines derartigen Geschirrspülers.The invention relates to a dishwasher with a tub for receiving dishes, with a cooling device for cooling at least one wall of the tub and with a controller for controlling the cleaning process. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a dishwasher.
Bei Geschirrspülern dieser Art umfasst der Reinigungsprozess eine eigentliche Reinigungsphase, in welcher das Geschirr in einem oder (normalerweise) mehreren Waschzyklen mit Prozesswasser gereinigt wird, teilweise unter Zugabe von Reinigungsmitteln. Weiter umfasst der Reinigungsprozess eine Trockenphase, in welcher das Geschirr getrocknet wird.In dishwashers of this type, the cleaning process comprises an actual cleaning phase in which the dishes are cleaned in one or (usually) several washing cycles with process water, partly with the addition of cleaning agents. Furthermore, the cleaning process comprises a drying phase in which the dishes are dried.
Vor der Trocknungsphase heizt die Steuerung den Bottich und insbesondere das sich darin befindliche Spülgut auf, normalerweise indem das Prozesswasser im Klarspülgang auf eine relativ hohe Temperatur von z.B. 50 - 60°C erwärmt wird. Sodann beginnt die Trocknungsphase, in deren Rahmen eine Kühlvorrichtung, z.B. in Form eines Gebläses, aktiviert wird, um mindestens eine Wand des Bottichs oder eine Austauschfläche mit der Bottichluft zu kühlen. Dadurch entsteht eine Trocknungswirkung, indem die heisse Prozessluft im Bottich zunächst Feuchtigkeit vom Geschirr aufnimmt und sodann z.B. durch Konvektion oder Diffusion zur gekühlten Wand gelangt, wo sie die Feuchtigkeit abgibt.Before the drying phase, the controller heats up the tub and in particular the washware contained therein, usually by the process water is heated in the rinse cycle to a relatively high temperature, for example 50-60 ° C. Then begins the drying phase, in which a cooling device, for example in the form of a blower is activated to at least one wall of the tub or an exchange surface with the tub air to cool. This creates a drying effect by the hot process air in the tub first absorbs moisture from the dishes and then passes, for example by convection or diffusion to the cooled wall, where it gives off the moisture.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Geschirrspüler und ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art mit verbesserter Trocknungseffizienz bereitzustellen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a dishwasher and a method of the type mentioned above with improved drying efficiency.
Diese Aufgabe wird vom Gegenstand der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst.This object is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims.
Demgemäss ist die Steuerung des Geschirrspülers dazu ausgestaltet, in der Trocknungsphase die Kühlvorrichtung derart zu steuern, dass die Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs zwischen 3° und 10°C oberhalb der Temperatur der gekühlten Wand liegt.Accordingly, the control of the dishwasher is configured to control the cooling device in the drying phase such that the center temperature of the tub is between 3 ° and 10 ° C above the temperature of the cooled wall.
Unter "Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs ist dabei die Temperatur zu verstehen, welche die Prozessluft in der Mitte des Bottichs annimmt.The term "center temperature of the tub" is to be understood as the temperature which the process air in the middle of the tub assumes.
Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass es in konventionellen Verfahren mindestens über einen Teil des Trocknungsprozesses zur Bildung von Nebel im Bereich der gekühlten Wand kommt, d.h. die Luft kondensiert spontan in suspendierte Tröpfchen aus. Diese Nebelbildung stellt einen weniger effizienten Trockenvorgang dar als die direkte Auskondensation an der Bottichwand, entlang welcher das Wasser abfliessen kann. Darüber hinaus kann der Nebel das Geschirr rückbefeuchten und somit dem Trocknungsprozess entgegenwirken. Weiterhin behindern kondensierte Tropfen den durch Diffusion oder Konvektion bewirkten Austauschprozess erheblich. Es zeigt sich, dass die Nebelbildung zumindest weitgehend vermieden werden kann, wenn die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen der Mitte des Bottichs und der Wand auf ca. 10° beschränkt wird. Allerdings sollte die Temperaturdifferenz mindestens 1° betragen, da ansonsten die Trocknungsrate abfällt.The invention is based on the finding that in conventional processes at least over part of the drying process mist is formed in the region of the cooled wall, ie the air spontaneously condenses into suspended droplets. This mist formation represents a less efficient drying process than the direct condensation on the tub wall, along which the water can flow. In addition, the mist can rewet the dishes and thus counteract the drying process. Furthermore, condensed droplets significantly hinder the exchange process caused by diffusion or convection. It can be seen that the formation of mist can be at least largely avoided if the temperature difference between the middle of the Vat and the wall is limited to about 10 °. However, the temperature difference should be at least 1 °, otherwise the drying rate drops.
Es zeigt sich, dass besonders gute Trocknungsresultate erzielt werden, wenn der Temperaturunterschied zwischen 2 und 6 °C beträgt.It turns out that particularly good drying results are achieved when the temperature difference is between 2 and 6 ° C.
Da die Temperatur während der Trocknungsphase in der Regel absinkt, ist die Steuerung zur Aufrechterhaltung der gewünschten Temperaturdifferenz vorzugsweise dazu ausgestaltet, die Kühlerleistung der Kühlvorrichtung während der Trocknungsphase in mehreren Schritten oder kontinuierlich zu erhöhen.Since the temperature usually drops during the drying phase, the control for maintaining the desired temperature difference is preferably configured to increase the cooling performance of the cooling device in several steps or continuously during the drying phase.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung besitzt die Kühlvorrichtung einen Regelkreis, um die Temperatur der Wand auf einen Sollwert zu regeln. Dieser Regelkreis kann mindestens teilweise in der Software der Steuerung implementiert sein. Weiter ist die Steuerung dazu ausgestaltet, den Sollwert in der Trocknungsphase in mehreren Schritten oder kontinuierlich abzusenken. Auf diese Weise kann unabhängig von der Effizienz der Kühlvorrichtung (welche z.B. von der Umgebungstemperatur abhängig sein kann) gut sichergestellt werden, dass die Temperaturdifferenz im gewünschten Bereich bleibt.In an advantageous embodiment, the cooling device has a control loop to control the temperature of the wall to a desired value. This control loop may be at least partially implemented in the software of the controller. Further, the controller is configured to lower the setpoint in the drying phase in several steps or continuously. In this way, regardless of the efficiency of the cooling device (which may be dependent on the ambient temperature, for example), it can be well ensured that the temperature difference remains within the desired range.
Die Erfindung ist besonders geeignet für Geschirrspüler, bei welchen keine Mittel zum aktiven Umwälzen von Luft im Bottich vorgesehen sind. Unter aktivem Umwälzen ist dabei ein Umwälzen mit mechanischen Mitteln, wie z.B. Lüftern und Gebläsen, zu verstehen, im Gegensatz zu einem passiven Umwälzen aufgrund von Konvektionseffekten. Die Problematik der Nebelbildung ist besonders prominent in Geräten, bei denen die Luft passiv umgewälzt wird und damit der Feuchtetransport in der Luft auf freier Konvektion und Diffusion beruht.The invention is particularly suitable for dishwashers in which no means for actively circulating air in the tub are provided. Under active circulation is thereby a circulation by mechanical means, such. Fans and blowers, as opposed to a passive circulation due to convection effects. The problem of fog formation is particularly prominent in devices in which the air is passively circulated and thus the moisture transport in the air based on free convection and diffusion.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Geschirrspülers mit einem Bottich zur Aufnahme von Geschirr und mit einer Kühlvorrichtung zum Kühlen mindestens einer Wand des Bottichs. Im Rahmen dieses Verfahrens wird ein Reinigungsprozess umfassend eine Reinigungsphase und eine Trocknungsphase durchlaufen, wobei in der Trocknungsphase die Wand des Bottichs mit der Kühlvorrichtung gekühlt wird. Dabei wird in der Trocknungsphase die Kühlvorrichtung derart gesteuert, dass die Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs zwischen 1° und 10°, insbesondere 2° - 6 °C, oberhalb der Temperatur der Wand liegt.The invention also relates to a method for operating a dishwasher with a tub for receiving dishes and with a cooling device for cooling at least one wall of the tub. In the context of this Method is a cleaning process comprising a cleaning phase and a drying phase, wherein in the drying phase, the wall of the tub is cooled with the cooling device. In this case, in the drying phase, the cooling device is controlled such that the center temperature of the tub is between 1 ° and 10 °, in particular 2 ° - 6 ° C, above the temperature of the wall.

Frontseitig ist der Bottich 1 von einer Türe 2 verschlossen. Das Gerät besitzt weiter eine Kühlvorrichtung 3 zum Kühlen mindestens einer Wand des Bottichs 1, im vorliegenden Beispiel zum Kühlen der der Türe 2 gegenüber liegenden Rückwand 4. Die Kühlvorrichtung ist im vorliegenden Beispiel als Lüfter ausgestaltet, der Umgebungsluft vom Sockelbereich der Frontseite des Geräts ansaugt. Die so geförderte Luft streicht der Rückwand 4 entlang und wird sodann über dem Bottich wieder durch die Frontseite des Geräts ausgeblasen. Somit ist der Lüfter dazu ausgestaltet, die Wand 4 mittels Umgebungsluft zu kühlen.Front side of the

Im Betrieb steuert die Steuerung 5 die Komponenten des Geräts entsprechend einem vom Benutzer ausgewählten Reinigungsprogramm. Mindestens eines der anwählbaren Reinigungsprogramme ist dabei zur Durchführung eines Reinigungsprozesses gemäss dem im Folgenden beschriebenen Ablauf ausgestaltet.In operation, the
In einer ersten Phase des Reinigungsprozesses, die hier als Reinigungsphase bezeichnet wird, führt die Steuerung 5 dem Bottich 1 Prozesswasser zu, um das Geschirr zu reinigen. Diese Phase kann mehrere Prozesswasserzyklen umfassen, z.B. einen Vorwaschgang ohne Geschirrspülmittel sowie ein Hauptwaschgang mit Zugabe von Geschirrspülmittel. Es können auch weitere Prozesswasserzyklen mit oder ohne Zugabe von Geschirrspülmittel vorgesehen sein. In einigen der Prozesswasserzyklen kann das Prozesswasser optional geheizt werden, typischerweise auf Temperaturen zwischen 40 und 50°C. Zwischen den Prozesswasserzyklen wird das Prozesswasser teilweise oder vollständig abgeführt und durch neues Wasser ersetzt.In a first phase of the cleaning process, referred to herein as the cleaning phase, the

Der Schluss der Reinigungsphase wird von einem Klarspülgang gebildet, in welchem dem Bottich 1 frisches Prozesswasser und Klarspülmittel zugeführt werden. Das Wasser wird auf eine relativ hohe Temperatur von ca. 50 - 60 °C erwärmt, um so dem Bottich 1 und insbesondere dem Geschirr Wärme zuzuführen. Danach wird das Wasser abgelassen.The end of the cleaning phase is formed by a rinse cycle, in which the
Nun wird die Kühlvorrichtung zu einem Zeitpunkt t0 aktiviert. Hierzu wird auf
Die Kühlvorrichtung 3 kann (optional) zunächst mit relativ hoher Kühlerleistung betrieben werden, um die Temperatur der Wand 4 rasch um 1 - 10 °C unter die Zentrumstemperatur abzusenken. Sodann wird die Kühlvorrichtung in der Trocknungsphase ab Zeitpunkt t1 so betrieben, dass die Wandtemperatur im Bereich von 1 - 10 °C unter der Zentrumstemperatur eingestellt wird. Da während der Trocknungsphase die Zentrumstemperatur im Bottich kontinuierlich absinkt, muss die Kühlung der Wand 4 zunehmend stärker werden, wie dies im unteren Diagramm von
In
Unter "Kühlerleistung" ist dabei die über einen Zeitraum von wenigen Minuten, insbesondere von höchstens 5 Minuten, gemittelte Leistung zu verstehen, die der Kühlvorrichtung 3 zugeführt wird. Mit anderen Worten kann die Kühlung z.B. auch in Form kurzer "Kühlimpulse" von z.B. einigen Sekunden erfolgen, wobei die Intensität oder Länge der Kühlimpulse über die Zeit erhöht wird."Cooling power" is to be understood as the power averaged over a period of a few minutes, in particular of at most 5 minutes, which power is supplied to the
Zudem ist es denkbar, dass insbesondere am Anfang (wie in
Im Laufe der Trocknungsphase wird die Kühlerleistung vorzugsweise um mindestens 50% erhöht, um der Abkühlung der Bottichtemperatur Rechnung zu tragen.During the drying phase, the cooling capacity is preferably increased by at least 50% in order to take account of the cooling of the bottom temperature.
Die Wirkung der Trocknungsphase kann anhand des Mollier-Diagramms von
Ist der Temperaturunterschied zwischen der Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs und der Wandtemperatur sehr hoch, so wird die Luft bei ihrer durch die Konvektionsbewegung erzeugten Annäherung an die Wand 4 relativ früh eine relative Feuchte von 100% erreichen, was zu einer Nebelbildung in beträchtlichem Abstand von der Wand 4 führen kann. Diese so erzeugten Nebeltropfen erreichen die Wand 4 in der Regel nicht, sondern werden von der Luftströmung in die wärmeren Bereiche des Bottichs befördert, wo sie wieder verdampfen oder sich am Spülgut niederschlagen, so dass die Trocknung an Effizienz verliert.If the temperature difference between the center temperature of the tub and the wall temperature is very high, the air will reach a relative humidity of 100% relatively early on its approach to the
Ist hingegen der Temperaturunterschied zwischen der Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs und der Wandtemperatur gering, so erfolgt eine Auskondensation erst kurz vor oder an der Wand 4, und die Chance, dass allfällig in Luft auskondensierte Wassertropfen aufgrund ihrer Bewegung auf die Wand treffen, ist hoch. Auf diese Weise schlägt sich die meiste auskondensierte Feuchtigkeit an der Wand nieder und kann von dort in den Sumpf des Geräts abfliessen, so dass sie ausgeschieden werden kann. Der Trocknungseffekt ist deshalb höher.If, on the other hand, the temperature difference between the center temperature of the tub and the wall temperature is low, condensation only takes place shortly before or on the
Aus physikalischer Sicht basiert die Erfindung auf dem Gedanken, dass die Luft an der gekühlten Wand 4 nicht zu stark übersättigt ist. Numerisch ausgedrückt heisst dies, dass die Grösse ϕ, welche dem Verhältnis zwischen dem Partialdruck von Wasserdampf im Gas zum Dampfdruck bei gegebener Temperatur entspricht, vorzugsweise zwischen 1.04 und 1.05 liegt, was (je nach absoluter Temperatur und wie oben beschrieben) als gewisser Temperaturunterschied zwischen Wand und Zentrumstemperatur ausgedrückt werden kann.From a physical point of view, the invention is based on the idea that the air on the cooled
Vorzugsweise ist, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt, ein Wandtemperatursensor 6 vorgesehen, mit dessen Hilfe die Temperatur der Wand 4 geregelt werden kann. Hierzu bilden die Kühlvorrichtung 3, die Steuerung 5 und der Temperatursensor 6 einen Regelkreis, mit welchem die Temperatur der Wand 4 auf einen Sollwert eingeregelt wird. Die Steuerung 5 ist dazu ausgestaltet, diesen Sollwert in der Trocknungsphase kontinuierlich oder in mehreren Schritten abzusenken. Über die Trockungsphase wird der Sollwert vorzugsweise um mindestens 10°C, insbesondere mindestens 20°C, reduziert, um so der entsprechenden Reduktion der Zentrumstemperatur Rechnung zu tragen, welche ebenfalls mindestens 10°C, insbesondere mindestens 20°C, beträgtPreferably, as shown in Fig. 6, a
Weiter kann, wie erwähnt, ein Kontrolltemperatursensor 7 vorgesehen sein, mit welchem die Temperatur am oder im Bottich 1 in einem Abstand von der gekühlten Wand gemessen werden kann. Das Signal eines solchen Sensors ist ein Mass für die Zentrumstemperatur des Bottichs 1, so dass es für eine bessere Steuerung der Kühlvorrichtung 3 heran gezogen werden kann. Je tiefer die Temperatur am Kontrolltemperatursensor 7 ist, desto höher ist die Kühlerleistung zu wählen. Insbesondere kann die Steuerung 5 dazu ausgestaltet sein, die Kühlerleistung abhängig vom Unterschied der Temperaturen an der Wand 4 und beim Kontrolltemperatursensor 7 zu steuern - je kleiner dieser Temperaturunterschied ist, desto grösser muss die Kühlerleistung sein.Further, as mentioned, a
In einer besonders einfachen Ausführung kann jedoch auch auf den Kontrolltemperatursensor 7 verzichtet werden. In diesem Falle wird die Solltemperatur für die Wand 4 in der Trocknungsphase entsprechend einem vom Gerätehersteller ermittelten Sollverlauf reduziert. Dieser Sollverlauf wird z.B. in herstellerseitigen Versuchen derart festgelegt, dass der gewünschte Temperaturunterschied für übliche Beladungen und Prozessparameter eingehalten wird.In a particularly simple embodiment, however, it is also possible to dispense with the
In einer noch einfacheren Ausführung kann grundsätzlich auch auf den Wandtemperatursensor 6 verzichtet werden. In diesem Falle wird in der Trocknungsphase die Kühlerleistung entsprechend einem vom Gerätehersteller ermittelten Sollverlauf schrittweise oder kontinuierlich erhöht. Auch dieser Sollverlauf wird z.B. in herstellerseitigen Versuchen derart festgelegt, dass der gewünschte Temperaturunterschied für übliche Beladungen und Prozessparameter eingehalten wird.In an even simpler embodiment, in principle, the
In der soweit gezeigten Ausführung ist als Kühlvorrichtung 3 ein Lüfter dargestellt, welcher die Wand 4 mittels Umgebungsluft kühlt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu kann die Kühlvorrichtung auch mindestens eine der folgenden Komponenten aufweisen:
- Zum Kühlen kann ein Wasserbehälter vorgesehen sein, der im thermischen Kontakt
mit der Wand 4 steht. Über ein Ventil kann Frischwasser in den Wasserbehälter eingeleitet werden, um die Wand zu kühlen. - Zum Kühlen kann mindestens ein Peltier-Element verwendet werden, das im thermischen Kontakt mit der Wand steht.
- Zum Kühlen kann eine Wärmepumpe vorgesehen sein, deren Verdampfer im thermischen Kontakt mit der Wand steht.
- For cooling, a water tank may be provided, which is in thermal contact with the
wall 4. Via a valve fresh water can be introduced into the water tank to cool the wall. - For cooling, at least one Peltier element which is in thermal contact with the wall can be used.
- For cooling, a heat pump may be provided, the evaporator is in thermal contact with the wall.
In der Ausführung nach
Dank der hier beschriebenen Ausgestaltung des Geräts kann gegenüber konventionellen Geräten bei gleichbleibendem Trocknungsresultat die Trocknungsdauer und/oder die Temperatur des Klarspülgangs reduziert werden.Thanks to the embodiment of the device described here, the drying time and / or the temperature of the rinse cycle can be reduced compared to conventional devices with a constant drying result.
