Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a washing compartment providing a washing area which is used to hold items to be cleaned, and with a fresh water tank, the fresh water tank being fluidically connected to the washing compartment.
  • Dishwashers in general and those of the generic type are well known per se from the state of the art, which is why separate printed evidence is basically not required at this point.
  • Previously known dishwashers have a washing container that provides a washing area. This is accessible on the user side via a loading opening which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotably mounted wash cabinet door.
  • the washing container serves to hold items to be cleaned, which can be, for example, dishes, cutlery and / or the like.
  • the dishwasher has a spray device in the interior of the washing compartment for the application of washing liquid, the so-called washing liquor, to items to be cleaned.
  • This spray device typically provides rotatably mounted spray arms, two or three such spray arms being provided as a rule. When used as intended, the items to be cleaned are exposed to washing liquor by means of rotating spray arms.
  • the wash liquor released by a spray device during operation hits the wash ware to be cleaned and then collects in a collecting pot of the wash container.
  • the collecting pot is connected to a circulation pump on the one hand and a drain or waste water pump on the other hand.
  • the circulating pump which, when used as intended, circulates the washing liquid conveyed into the dishwasher is used to apply washing solution to the spray device.
  • the wash liquor is pumped out by means of the drain pump and discarded.
  • washing container which is typically taken from the public fresh water network.
  • the actual washing program begins and the circulating pump is started to charge the spray device.
  • a wash program different program sections are run through, for example a pre-wash program, a cleaning program, an intermediate wash program, a final-rinse program and / or the like.
  • a drying program is typically provided.
  • the washing solution is heated up during a cleaning program and during a final rinse program.
  • appropriate heating devices are used which, depending on the initial temperature of the fresh water, require a correspondingly large amount of energy until the target temperature of the washing solution for the respective washing program section is reached. The heating energy required is greater, the greater the difference between the initial temperature of the fresh water and the target temperature desired for carrying out a wash program section.
  • a fresh water tank is known from the prior art, which is arranged on the outside of the washing compartment.
  • This fresh water tank is fluidically connected on the one hand to a fresh water line and on the other hand to the washing container. After a properly running wash program has ended, the fresh water tank is filled with fresh water from the fresh water line. This remains in the fresh water tank until the next wash program is carried out and is stored by this.
  • the next upcoming wash program is then carried out at least partially with fresh water preheated to room temperature, so that the temperature difference between the initial temperature of the fresh water introduced into the wash container and the target temperature to be achieved for carrying out a wash program section is reduced, with the result that less heating energy is required.
  • the aim is to propose a heat recovery system that contributes more effectively to being able to save heating energy by extracting heat from used washing liquor to heat up fresh water. It is therefore the object of the invention to propose a dishwasher of the type mentioned at the outset with a heat recovery system which makes it possible to an increased extent to minimize the heating energy required to carry out a washing program through heat transfer.
  • the invention proposes a dishwasher of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized by a second fresh water tank and a heat exchanger, the second fresh water tank being connected to the first fresh water tank by means of a first pipeline on the one hand and by means of a second pipeline with the interposition of the heat exchanger on the other is fluidically connected.
  • the dishwasher according to the invention has a first fresh water tank on the one hand and a second fresh water tank on the other hand.
  • a second fresh water tank is therefore provided.
  • the dishwasher according to the invention also has a heat exchanger.
  • the first fresh water tank and the second fresh water tank are fluidically connected.
  • Two pipelines are provided for this purpose, namely a first pipeline on the one hand and a second pipeline on the other.
  • the heat exchanger is integrated into the second pipeline, which means that the second fresh water tank is fluidically connected to the first fresh water tank by means of the second pipeline with the interposition of the heat exchanger.
  • the advantage of the second fresh water tank, which is separate from the first fresh water tank, is first of all that an overall larger volume of fresh water can be stored so that, in contrast to the prior art, more fresh water is available that can be warmed up to room temperature before the start of a wash program can.
  • a further advantage is that a targeted transfer of heat from a previously heated wash liquor to fresh water from the second fresh water tank can take place by means of the heat exchanger, so that this fresh water can be brought to an even higher temperature level.
  • the washing container must first be completely emptied so that the fresh water is not contaminated with still soiled washing liquor.
  • the preheated fresh water needs to be temporarily stored, for which purpose the first fresh water tank is used.
  • the two fresh water tanks provided not only increase the total available tank volume, but also create an intermediate storage option, which allows fresh water previously warmed up to room temperature to be brought to an even higher temperature level in the heat exchanger and thus heated To be able to temporarily store fresh water until it can be introduced into the washing compartment after it has been emptied beforehand.
  • the embodiment according to the invention allows a process to be carried out for a wash program which comprises at least one cleaning program as wash program sections and a final rinse program at the end of the wash program, as follows: After a properly completed washing program has ended, both the first fresh water tank and the second fresh water tank are filled with fresh water. The fresh water stored in this way can warm to room temperature until the next wash program is carried out.
  • the fresh water stored in the first fresh water tank can, for example, be introduced into the wash container at the start of a cleaning program. This is then heated to the target temperature and the cleaning program is carried out. During this, the fresh water stored by the second fresh water tank remains in the second fresh water tank.
  • the washing liquor that is no longer required is pumped out and discarded. In doing so, it is passed through the heat exchanger.
  • Fresh water coming from the second fresh water tank is fed in countercurrent through the heat exchanger. In the heat exchanger, there is a transfer of heat from the washing liquor to the fresh water coming from the second fresh water tank. This leads to an increase in the fresh water temperature.
  • the fresh water warmed up in the heat exchanger reaches the first fresh water tank from the second fresh water tank with the interposition of the heat transfer. There the fresh water is stored until a rinse program is carried out.
  • the size of the second fresh water tank in such a way that enough fresh water can be stored that the intermediate rinsing that takes place before a final rinse program can also be carried out with fresh water from the second fresh water tank.
  • the second fresh water tank is not completely emptied if fresh water is transferred from it to the first fresh water tank with the interposition of the heat transfer.
  • the remaining amount of fresh water in the second fresh water tank can then be used for an intermediate rinse.
  • the advantage here is that the intermediate rinse with Fresh water is carried out to room temperature, so that individual dishwasher components do not cool down unnecessarily before a final rinse is initiated. In this way it is ensured that the temperature difference between the starting temperature of the fresh water introduced into the washing compartment and the target temperature to be achieved desirably to carry out the final-rinse program is minimized, which leads to a minimization of the heating energy required.
  • the first fresh water tank has an overflow to which the first pipeline is connected.
  • the second fresh water tank is also automatically filled with fresh water when a level inside the fresh water tank is reached above the overflow. A second fresh water line for the second fresh water tank and / or a pump is therefore not required.
  • the second fresh water tank is fluidically connected to the washing container by means of a third pipeline.
  • This third pipeline allows fresh water from the second fresh water tank to be fed directly into the washing compartment.
  • fresh water can optionally be charged from the second fresh water tank either to the washing compartment via the third pipeline or to the first fresh water tank by means of the second pipeline with the interposition of the heat exchanger.
  • the third pipeline serves in particular to transfer fresh water from the second fresh water tank into the washing container during an intermediate washing step.
  • the third pipeline branches off from the second pipeline with the interposition of a switchover valve, the switchover valve being connected upstream of the heat exchanger in terms of flow.
  • a simplified pipe or line system is provided.
  • the third pipeline branches off from the second pipeline, it being possible to set by means of a switching valve whether the third pipeline is to be charged with fresh water or not. If the third pipeline is not fed with fresh water, this is carried out solely through the second pipeline with the interposition of the heat exchanger.
  • a pipeline within the meaning of the invention in particular as a first, second and third pipeline, is to be understood as any type of fluid line that ensures operationally reliable liquid transport within the dishwasher.
  • the pipelines or partial sections of the pipelines can be made fixed, in particular made of plastic or metal, or also elastic, that is to say, for example, as a hose.
  • the heat exchanger is fluidically connected to a waste water line opening into the washing container at the other end. Rinsing liquor originating from the rinsing container is led through this waste water line when used as intended. This is preferably conveyed by means of a pump provided for this purpose from the collecting pot of the washing container, passed through the heat exchanger and into the waste water line, whereby the used washing liquor is discarded. Fresh water from the second fresh water tank is conducted in countercurrent through the heat exchanger, so that heat from the washing liquor from the washing compartment can be transferred to the fresh water from the second fresh water tank.
  • the heat exchanger is a coaxial heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger preferably has an inner tube made of stainless steel and an outer tube made of plastic that accommodates the inner tube while leaving an annular gap.
  • the inner tube is preferably made of stainless steel in order to enable an optimized heat transfer between the washing solution and fresh water.
  • the outer tube is made of plastic in order to provide thermal insulation so that heat is not unnecessarily lost to the outside atmosphere surrounding the heat exchanger.
  • the heated rinsing solution is passed through the stainless steel pipe, whereas the fresh water to be heated is passed through the annular gap between the inner pipe and the outer pipe.
  • the first fresh water tank is arranged as a side tank next to the washing container. Accordingly, the first fresh water tank is arranged on an outside, in particular a side wall or the rear wall of the washing compartment. An insulation is preferably formed between the first fresh water tank and the washing container.
  • the second fresh water tank is preferably designed as a base tank below the washing compartment. This makes it possible to optimally utilize the installation space made available by a dishwasher. A lateral design of the second fresh water tank is also possible, but for the preferred size of approx. 4 l tank volume, the arrangement in the base area is preferred.
  • an intermediate wash program upstream of the final rinse program is also carried out with fresh water preheated to at least room temperature. This prevents the items to be washed and individual dishwasher components from cooling down, as would be the case if an intermediate wash program were carried out with colder fresh water.
  • Fig. 32 shows, in a purely schematic representation, a dishwasher 1 according to the prior art.
  • the dishwasher 1 has a housing (not shown in greater detail in the figures) which, among other things, accommodates a washing container 2.
  • the washing compartment 2 for its part, provides a washing compartment 3 which, when used as intended, is used to hold items to be cleaned.
  • a spray device 4 which is arranged inside the washing compartment 2, is used to load items to be cleaned with washing liquor.
  • Such a spray device 4 preferably has spray arms 5 which are each rotatably arranged within the washing compartment 2. According to the embodiment according to Fig. 32 the spray device 4 has a total of three spray arms 5.
  • the washing chamber 3 opens into a collecting pot 6 of the washing container 2, to which a circulating pump 7 is fluidically connected.
  • a circulating pump 7 Via corresponding supply lines 9, 10 and 11, the spray arms 5 of the spray device 4 are fluidically connected to the circulating pump 7, with the interposition of a water switch 8.
  • the spray device 4 can thus be charged with rinsing solution by means of the circulating pump 7, with each after setting the water switch 8, one of the spray arms 5 can be charged with washing liquor.
  • a waste water pump 12 is fluidically connected to the collecting pot 6, which pumps off washing liquor located in the collecting vessel 6 if necessary and feeds it to the waste water line 13, as a result of which the washing liquor is discarded.
  • the dishwasher 1 is also connected to a fresh water line 14.
  • the fresh water line 14 is preceded by a water softener, which is not shown in more detail in the figures.
  • the fresh water line 14 opens into a switchover valve 15.
  • a feed line 16 and a tank line 18 are provided on the output side of the switchover valve 15. In this way, depending on the position of the switching valve 15, either the supply line 16 or the tank line 18 can be served with fresh water.

According to this position of the shut-off valve 21, no fresh water stored by the fresh water tank 17 can flow through the pipeline 22 into the supply line 16. When the shut-off valve 21 is open, fresh water stored in the fresh water tank 17 passes through the pipeline 22 and the supply line 16 into the collecting pot 6.
  • the fresh water tank 17 is also in fluidic communication with the washing space 3 provided by the washing compartment 2.

  • FIG. 10 Another alternative shows Fig. 10 , whereby a suction lifter 43 for emptying the tank 40 is provided here instead of a shut-off valve 42.
  • Fig. 11 shows an embodiment according to which a separate heat exchanger pump 33 is provided for conveying the washing liquor into the heat exchanger 27.
  • Rinsing liquor filtered by means of the pump 33 is preferably used from the sieve system.
  • smaller cross-sections can be used in the heat exchanger 27, as a result of which a very efficient heat exchange is made possible.
  • Fig. 12 As shown in Fig. 12 is shown, instead of a separate pump 33, the sewage pump 12, which is already present, is used to charge the heat exchanger 27 with washing liquor.
  • the cross-sections of the heat exchanger 27 must be kept correspondingly large so that no coarse dirt particles can clog the heat exchanger 27.
  • the wash liquor is conveyed directly with the circulating pump 7 provided.
  • a corresponding feed line which leads to the heat exchanger 27, must be connected to the water switch 8.
  • FIG. 14 Another embodiment shows Fig. 14 .
  • a water line with a shut-off valve 44 is then inserted into the pressure area of the circulation pump 7. If this valve 44 is opened, a bypass is switched on for the washing solution, through which the washing solution reaches the heat exchanger 27.
  • FIG. 15 shows an embodiment according to which the heat exchanger 27 is connected directly to the sewer line 13. In the normal operating case, the entire waste water is conveyed through the heat exchanger 27 by means of a waste water pump 12 and transported away.
  • FIGS 16 and 17 show an alternative embodiment to this, according to which it is provided that a return line from the heat exchanger 27 and the sewage line 13 are brought together behind the sewage pump 12.
  • the merging can be positioned in front of or behind the suds lift.
  • Another check valve 45 is used for the return line from the heat exchanger 27.
  • Fig. 18 shows an embodiment according to which the line 34 going out from the heat exchanger 27 and leading to the water line 13 is at least partially passed through the base area of the second fresh water tank 23. Residual heat in the waste water can thus be transferred to the fresh water stored in the second fresh water tank 23, which serves to further heat the fresh water.
  • Fig. 29 shows the second fresh water tank 23 in a schematic perspective illustration. This has a base area 46.
  • the pipeline 34 is laid in the base area 46, with different laying patterns being conceivable.
  • Fig. 30 shows a meandering layout, whereas Fig. 31 shows a spiral laying.
  • the heat exchanger 27 is preferably arranged on a side wall 47 of the washing compartment 2. Different embodiments of the heat exchanger 27 are shown in Figures 19 to 26 shown.
  • Fig. 19 shows a coil of straight, horizontal elements with 180 ° bends.
  • Fig. 20 shows a pipe coil with inclined instead of horizontal elements. This improves the heat transfer 27 from running empty.
  • Fig. 21 shows a pipe coil which also has vertical, straight elements.
  • Fig. 22 shows a pipe coil with an inward and outward spiral shape, as a result of which a greater length of the heat exchanger 27 is achieved.
  • the spiral shape can have straight or curved tubular elements.
  • Fig. 23 shows a heat exchanger 27 in a vertical orientation, an inclined one also being possible.
  • Fig. 24 shows a pipe snake with a 180 ° bend, concentric bends and inclined parallel guides.
  • Fig. 25 shows a heat exchanger 27 in a vertical orientation, completely without bends. As a result, the inner tube 28 can be guided optimally coaxially.
  • Fig. 26 shows a meandering pipe coil, which is clearly lengthened by the course in two levels.
  • the spaces between the coaxial heat exchanger 27 should be filled with insulating material. This will reduce the heat loss from the device.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment with a double feed pump 48. This allows washing liquor and fresh water to be conveyed simultaneously through the heat exchanger 27.
  • a single motor 49 controls two feed chambers 50 and 51 for different water volumes.
