Description
- This invention relates to dish washers, preferably under-counter or hood type or conveyor dish washers. Usually, there is a limitation in power and current available from the power source. In most countries of Europe the typical connection available is 400 V, 3 x 16 amps.
- According to the prior art
EP 1 835 837 , a dish washer has multiple load elements that are assigned multiple power output levels for not exceeding the maximum electric total output. As a simple configuration,EP 1 835 837 proposes to use exactly three power output levels for each load element. This simple configuration of circuitry was, according toEP 1 835 837 , particularly easy to implement and already had all the advantages. - The inventors still found it very disadvantageous that the technical solution described in the prior art is complex. The object of the invention therefore was to find a non-complex solution. This object is achieved by the subject matter of the independent claims; preferred embodiments are specified by the dependent claims.
- Particularly, this object is achieved by a dish washer, comprising
- a boiler for storing and heating rinse water, wherein the boiler comprises only one electric boiler heating unit, wherein the dish washer is configured to power the boiler heating unit at m different power levels above zero, wherein the m different power levels above zero comprise a highest power level and a second highest power level, and - a tank for heating and preferably storing wash water, wherein the tank comprises only one electric tank heating unit, wherein the dish washer is configured to power the tank heating unit at only one power level above zero.
- The object of the invention is also particularly achieved by a method for operating a dish washer comprising the steps:
- storing and heating rinse water in a boiler by only one electric boiler heating unit, wherein the boiler heating unit is powered at m different power levels above zero wherein the m different power levels above zero comprise a highest power level and a second highest power level;
- heating and preferably storing wash water in a tank by only one electric tank heating unit, wherein the tank heating unit is powered at only one power level above zero.
- By this extremely simple and minimalistic solution and distribution of heating units between boiler and tank, short cycle times can be achieved without exceeding the maximum electric total consumption using a minimum of constructional and control effort. In a commercial dishwasher the wash is performed in an extremely short time (60 s to 120 s in most cases) using water at 50 °C to 65 °C and the rinse is done using 1.5 l to 3.5 l of fresh water per rack, at a temperature of 80 °C to 90 °C; both wash and rinse water are independently heated by two different heating units located in a tank (wash) and in a boiler (heating).
- The water in the tank heats the plates, increasing their temperature by some tenths °C. In this process the water gives heat to the plates and a significant part of this heat has to be reintegrated by the heating element in the tank, otherwise the temperature of the wash solution reaches a temperature not sufficient to achieve a good result, with the creation of foam, pump's cavitation, difficulties in drying, etc. This requires a high power heating unit in the tank.
- The inventor, however, has realized that running short cycles one after the other, especially with cold feed water, requires a high power especially in the boiler to achieve a sufficiently short recovery time, which should be shorter than the cycle time plus load/unload time, and therefore, for optimizing the cycle time it is sufficient to power the boiler heating unit at different power levels above zero, while the tank heating unit is powered at only one power level above zero.
- A heating unit may include one or more heating elements (e.g. heating coil or other heat emitting element, whereby heat is converted from electric power). The boiler/tank comprising the boiler/tank heating unit preferably means that the boiler/tank heating unit is dedicated to heat up the content of the boiler/tank. The boiler heating unit and tank heating unit are different; however, they may share one or more common heating elements, preferably as long as they differ in at least one heating element.
- The dish washer being configured to power the boiler heating unit at m different power levels above zero preferably means that the dish washer comprises a control unit which is configured (and provisioned/programmed) to set the boiler heating unit to different power levels, e.g. by switching between or switching on/off different heating elements and/or by adjusting the voltage/current (e.g. pulse-width-modulation or conventional voltage control) delivered to one or more heating elements of the boiler heating unit. It should be noted that the term "powering" already implies that the according power level is above zero.
- The dish washer being configured to power the tank heating unit at only one power level above zero preferably means that the dish washer does not contain any configuration/program for setting the tank heating units to other power levels than OFF and ON and does not contain any configuration/program to perform pulse-width modulation, whereas pulse-width modulation is preferably considered as having a pulse-frequency of less than 1s.
- In a further preferred embodiment or method according to the present invention the power level above zero of the tank heating unit is equal to the difference between the highest power level and the second highest power level of the boiler heating unit.
- Hereby the dish washer uses the available energy optimally. As an example, the following configuration could be chosen:
- The under-counter dishwasher is fed with 15 °C, the water consumption is 2.0 l per rack, rinse temperature is 85°C, and heating power is 7.6 kW. The tank heating unit's power level is 2.1 kW; the cycle time is 90 s, the load time 10 s, and the available time is 100 s. The boiler heating unit's highest power level is 7.6 kW; the boiler heating unit's second highest power level is 5.5 kW; the tank heating unit's power level is 2.1 kW.
- Then, the energy required to heat the water is 2 x 70 x 4.186 = 586 kJ, the energy available from the boiler heating unit at the second highest level is 100 x 5.5 = 550 kJ. The energy still required to recover the water temperature during a boosting time (boiler heating unit operated at highest power level) is 586 - 550 = 36 kJ. The available boiler heating unit extra power is 2.1 kW (difference between highest and second highest power level). The time of work of the boiler heating unit at the highest power is 36 : 2.1 = 17 s. Therefore, the tank heating unit will work for 83 s, giving to the water in the tank an energy of 174 kJ.
- A fast cycle is feasible even with cold water feed and the energy. This result is obtained by a very simple construction and without exceeding the given level of power.
- In a further preferred embodiment or method according to the present invention m=2.
- Hereby, an even less complex dish washer or method is provided with at the same short cycle times.
- In a further preferred embodiment according to the present invention the dish washer is configured to operate the tank heating unit and the boiler heating unit, such that the boiler heating unit is, preferably always, being switched to a power level lower than or equal to the second highest power level, when the tank heating unit is set to the power level above zero. In a further preferred method according to the present invention, the tank heating unit and the boiler heating unit are operated accordingly.
- Hereby, it is ensured that the maximum electric total consumption due to heating is not exceeded. As especially the heating elements are responsible for the electric total consumption, the dish washer is very efficiently using the available power.
- In a further preferred embodiment according to the present invention the boiler heating unit comprises two or more, preferably exactly two, heating elements and a switching unit, wherein the switching unit is configured to alternately switch between one of the heating elements and the tank heating unit, such that the one of the heating elements is interlocked with the tank heating unit. In a further preferred method, a switching unit alternately switches between one heating element in a boiler and the tank heating unit.
- Hereby, a very simple control mechanism is achieved. For example, in its simplest application a dual level boiler heating unit (e.g., 5.5 kW + 2.1 kW) consisting of two respective heating elements and a single level (e.g., 2.1 kW) tank heating unit are installed. By means of the switching unit (e.g., relay(s)) the tank heating unit is interlocked with its equivalent power level or heating element in the boiler allowing for a continuous heating power in the boiler and a working time at maximum power strictly limited to the value needed to recover in the available time.
- Embodiments of the present invention will now be described - by way of example only - with reference to the accompanying drawings, whereby
