Abstract
A method and an associated apparatus for drying moisture-laden air from a working chamber of a water-bearing machine, in particular a dishwasher, comprises: setting the temperature of the moisture-laden air in the working chamber to between 40° C. and 50° C., setting the temperature of a cooling medium in a heat exchanger to less than 20° C., and conducting the moisture-laden air, of which the temperature has been adjusted in this way, out of the working chamber through the heat exchanger.
Claims10
A drying process method for drying moisture-laden process air being discharged from a working chamber of a water-bearing machine, in particular a dishwasher, whereby products to be dried are located in the working chamber, comprising the steps of:
- heating the moisture-laden process air which is located in the working chamber to a temperature between 40° C. and 50° C.,
- setting the temperature of a cooling medium in a heat exchanger to less than 20° C., and
- conducting the moisture-laden process air, of which the temperature has been adjusted, out of the working chamber through the heat exchanger to condense steam out of the moisture-laden air.
