A commercial dishwasher includes a hood movable in a vertical direction between an open position and a closed position. The hood includes two opposing side walls and a front wall connecting the side walls. In the closed position, the side walls and the front wall bound a treatment chamber. In the open position, the side walls and the front wall are present above an upper wall and/or ceiling region, which bounds the treatment chamber upwardly and is fixedly connected to a rear wall of the treatment chamber, and there laterally bound a clear space at least partially or in regions. The dishwasher includes a drying module, which is arranged on the upper wall region of the dishwasher and is configured such that it is completely accommodated in the clear space, which is, in the open position of the hood, laterally bounded by the side walls and the front wall.
A commercial dishwasher in the form of a hood-type dishwasher, wherein the dishwasher comprises a hood that is movable in a vertical direction between an open position and a closed position, in a linearly sliding manner, wherein the hood comprises two opposing side walls and a front wall connecting the side walls, wherein, in the closed position of the hood, the side walls and the front wall of the hood at least partially or in regions bound a treatment chamber of the dishwasher, and wherein, in the open position of the hood, the side walls and the front wall of the hood are present at least partially or in regions above an upper wall and/or ceiling region, which bounds the treatment chamber upwardly and is fixedly connected to a rear wall of the treatment chamber, and there laterally bound a clear space at least partially or in regions,
A drying module, which is configured so as to be mounted on an upper wall and/or ceiling region of a commercial dishwasher embodied as a batch-type dishwasher, wherein the drying module comprises a housing and a suction fan accommodated in the housing, wherein a fresh air inlet is provided in the housing via which fresh air can be sucked into the housing, wherein a drying air outlet is further provided in the housing, via which the fresh air sucked into the housing of the drying module by means of the suction fan can be supplied to the treatment chamber of a dishwasher, wherein an effective flow cross-section of the fresh air inlet provided in the housing is variably adjustable, with the aid of a ventilation slider associated with the fresh air inlet.
