DISHWASHER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18631183 titled 'DISHWASHER
The abstract describes a dishwasher with a sorption drying device that includes a heater in a linear air flow path, allowing heated air to evenly reach the moisture absorbent with minimized flow resistance.
- Heater is placed in a linear air flow path at a downward inclination angle.
- Air passing through the linear flow path collides with the bottom surface of the moisture absorbent receiving portion.
- Heated air is introduced evenly to the moisture absorbent without the need for separate flow distribution means.
- Flow resistance is minimized, ensuring efficient drying of dishes.
- The design eliminates the need for additional components, simplifying the drying process.
Potential Applications: - Household dishwashers - Commercial dishwashers - Industrial dishwashing equipment
Problems Solved: - Uneven drying of dishes - Inefficient moisture removal - Complex drying systems
Benefits: - Improved drying efficiency - Energy savings - Simplified design and maintenance
Commercial Applications: - Manufacturers of dishwashers and related equipment can incorporate this technology to enhance drying performance and reduce energy consumption.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the downward inclination angle of the linear air flow path contribute to the efficiency of the drying process? 2. What are the potential cost savings for consumers and businesses by using this sorption drying device in dishwashers?
Original Abstract Submitted
A dishwasher includes a sorption drying device in which a heater is disposed in a linear air flow path extending in a downward inclination angle, at least a portion of air that has passed through the linear air flow path collides with a bottom surface of a moisture absorbent receiving portion and thus is introduced to a lower side of the moisture absorbent, so that a separate means for flow distribution is omitted, and heated air through the heater is evenly introduced to the moisture absorbent at a minimized flow resistance.
