  • Liquid is directed into the diverter assembly 41 via a conduit 310 .
  • the conduit 310 delivers liquid though a side of the diverter 41 into a diverter chamber 405 .
  • the bottom-plate forming the bottom portion 420 of the diverter assembly 41 has a projection 422 that projects into the diverter chamber 405 and extends upward to locate the heater 305 along the bottom of the diverter chamber 405 adjacent the liquid that passes there through.
  • the bottom portion 420 at least partially defines a continuous annular groove, for example a channel 425 , in which a heating element 430 may be at least partially received to heat liquid that passes through the diverter chamber 405 . At least a portion of the channel 425 may be at least twice as wide as the heating element 430 .
  • a dually wound heating element 430 is shown positioned within the channel 425 such that the heating element 430 contains more than one cross sectional segment within a cross sectional plane in at least a portion of the channel 425 . As shown, rotational segments of the dually wound heating element 430 are separated by at least a gap 435 .
  • Alternative patterns of positioning a heating element 430 within at least a portion of the channel 425 are envisioned.
  • the heating element 430 may have more than two windings, a zig-zag winding (i.e., in short, radially inward and outward segments), or multiple concentric coils within the channel 425 .

  • terminating end caps 515 may be used to electrically couple the element 430 with the energizable power source (not shown).
  • Alternative methods of heat supply and corresponding end caps are envisioned.
  • the channel 425 may further include a plurality of convolutions 440 extending from a portion of the bottom portion 420 into the diverter chamber 405 .

  • a brazing material may fill the gap 435 between the heating element 430 segments.
  • the heating element 430 may not be physically received by the heater seat 446 so long as the element 430 may be proximately located to provide for heat transference from the element 430 to the projection 422 .
  • the convolutions 440 are only shown on one side of the channel 425 , the convolutions 440 may be provided on any portion of the bottom portion 420 in fluid contact with the diverter chamber 405 . Additionally, in embodiments where the projection 422 may have an alternate cross sectional shape, which may not have well-defined sides, it is envisioned at least a portion of the projection 422 may have the convolutions 440 .
  • the configuration of the heating element 430 and convolutions 440 defines a heat transfer area (not shown) operably increasing the surface area of the heater seat 446 that is in conductive contact with the diverter chamber 405 , which in turn increases the rate at which heat is transferred to the liquid.
  • the increased rate of heat transfer to the liquid is provided without increasing the corresponding size of the heating element 430 .
  • the filling of the peaks 442 with brazing material further enhances the conductive transfer as heat is conducted to the convolutions 440 , where otherwise the heat would first transfer by convection with the air in the peaks 442 before conduction to the liquid.
  • the depth 450 to which the projection 422 may extend into the diverter chamber 405 may vary. As illustrated, the depth 450 can be more or less, and can even include a depth greater than the height of the heating element 430 . While the depth 450 is illustrated as more than half the height of the heating element 430 , the amount of cross sectional area of the heating element in contact with the heater seat 446 is less than fifty percent, a greater or lesser amount of the surface of the heating element may be in contact with the heater seat.
  • wash liquid such as water and/or treating chemistry (i.e., water and/or detergents, enzymes, surfactants, and other cleaning or conditioning chemistry), enters the tub 14 and flows into the sump 30 to the diverter assembly 41 via a conduit 310 .
  • the conduit 310 delivers liquid though the side of the diverter 41 into the diverter chamber 405 .
  • As liquid flows through the diverter chamber 405 it passes through the peaks 442 and valleys 444 of the convolutions, which provide an increased surface area, and consequently, an increased heat transfer area 450 and enhanced rate of conduction, as compared to a flat surface.
  • a power or heating source may selectively energize the heater 305 , causing the heater 305 to generate heat.
  • the heat generated by the heater 305 may be thermally conducted through the channel 425 , the heater seat 446 , brazing material (if present), convolutions 440 , and any non-convoluted sides of the channel 425 to heat the liquid as it passes through the diverter chamber 405 .
  • the liquid then flows out the top of the diverter chamber 405 through a disc or diverter 410 and is directed to at least one of the lower rotatable sprayer 34 , mid-level rotatable sprayer 38 , upper sprayer 40 , and spray manifold 44 .
  • the disc or diverter 410 is rotated by a diverter motor 315 via a shaft 415 .
  • the disc or diverter 410 has a hole that permits liquid to flow through the diverter 410 .
  • liquid is sequentially directed to the spray arm assemblies 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 .
  • the heater 305 comprises one or more tubular electric heaters 505 and 510 , such as a calrod, however, many different heating elements may be acceptable in embodiments of the current invention including, but not limited to, a thick film plate heater.
  • the heater is a calrod heater assembly 630 that protrudes into the diverter chamber 405 as shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the embodiments disclosed herein provide a diverter assembly for a dishwasher. Calcium precipitates out of water at higher temperatures, creating water scale at or near the heating element.
  • One advantage that may be realized in the above embodiments is that the above described embodiments allow for an elongated heating element surface area, and thus generating heat over a larger heat transfer area. This operatively reduces the watt density of the heat transfer area by distributing a known wattage over a longer length, which in turn, reduces calcium precipitation while heating the liquid.
  • Another advantage of the above embodiments may be that the effective heat transfer from the heating element to the liquid may be further increased using the optional heat-transferring brazing material.
  • the increased heat transfer surface area of the plurality of convolutions 440 further increases the effective heat transfer of the heating element and brazing material, and further reduces the watt density of the heating element.
  • any calcium or water scale that does develop at the heat transfer area will harden and break off during the thermal expansion and contraction at the convex surfaces of the peaks and valleys of the convolutions.
  • the projection's depth into the diverter chamber increases the heat transfer area, further reducing the watt density of the heating element
  • the different features and structures of the various embodiments may be used in combination with each other as desired. That one feature may not be illustrated in all of the embodiments may be not meant to be construed that it may not be, but may be done for brevity of description. Thus, the various features of the different embodiments may be mixed and matched as desired to form new embodiments, whether or not the new embodiments are expressly described. All combinations or permutations of features described herein are covered by this disclosure. The primary differences among the exemplary embodiments relate to a diverter assembly, and these features may be combined in any suitable manner to modify the above described embodiments and create other embodiments.
