Abstract
The present invention relates to a dishwasher with enhanced drying performance without using a fan. Water contained in the dishwasher is circulated preferably by means of one of the pumps in the machine (circulation or discharge pump) and through a jet pump placed in the dishwasher in such a manner that the air intake opening is in communication with one of the wash tub surfaces. Water within the dishwasher accelerates due to the kinetic energy acquired during this circulation and its pressure drops locally to a value below the atmospheric pressure. Due to this reduced pressure, water vapour and air from the washtub is suctioned from the tub.
Claims19
A dishwasher with improved drying performance, comprising:
- a dishwasher tub;
- a pump reservoir for collecting the washing water;
- a jet pump having an air intake in communication with the dishwasher tub for sucking a water vapour and air mixture from the dishwasher tub due to a pressure difference created between the dishwasher tub and the jet pump;
- and
- an outlet hose connecting the jet pump and the pump reservoir directly to one another for enabling the washing water to return directly to the pump reservoir.
