In modern kitchen appliances, dishwashers have become an important device to improve the efficiency of life. The working process usually includes 3 stages of washing, rinsing and drying, and the time-consuming and effect of the drying process directly affects the user experience. Based on the technical principle, this paper systematically analyzes the working mechanism and time consumption of different drying methods.

(1)、Condensation drying

1. working principle

After washing, the machine stops heating. When the hot and humid air inside encounters a relatively cold inner wall (or a special condenser tube) filled with cooling water, it will quickly condense into water droplets and flow back to the drain along the inner wall. Using the residual heat of the tableware itself, the water is slowly evaporated and condensed, so as to achieve drying.

2. disinfection effect

It mainly depends on the waste heat of the high temperature rinsing stage. High-temperature water at about 70°C can kill most common bacteria to a certain extent, but the disinfection effect and durability are not as good as special disinfection procedures.

3. time-consuming

The drying time is long, and the process takes about 40-60 minutes.

4. features

The technology is mature and reliable, the structure is simple, the operation process is quiet and the energy consumption is low, it is an economical and practical basic drying scheme.

(2)、Hot air drying

1. working principle

Through the built-in heating element (such as PTC ceramic heater) and circulating fan, the air inside the machine is actively heated to form a continuous flow of hot air. The hot air blows over the surface of the wet tableware, takes away the moisture, forms the hot and humid air, and then passes through the condensation device to dehumidify, and then is heated again, and so on, until the tableware is dried.

2. disinfection effect

Hot air circulation can maintain the surface temperature of tableware above 55 ℃ to achieve pasteurization effect. Experimental data showed that this temperature for 30 minutes eliminated 99.9% of the residual microorganisms.

3. time-consuming

High drying efficiency and fast speed. Usually complete drying can be completed in 30-60 minutes.

4. features:

The drying effect is active and strong, which can ensure that the inner cavity, bowl basket and tableware of various materials (especially plastic products) are completely dry, thus realizing the convenient experience of taking and using.

(3)、Zeolite drying

1. working principle

Zeolite Drying The new technology represented by zeolite drying uses the principle of

physical adsorption. As the 1 kind of microporous crystalline aluminosilicate mineral, zeolite has strong moisture adsorption capacity. When the system is working, hot and humid air is introduced into the zeolite module, moisture is selectively adsorbed, and the heat of adsorption (about 3000kJ/kg water) is released. The heat generated is blown back to the inner cavity, forming a dry hot air to dry the tableware.

2. disinfection effect

The heat released during the drying process of zeolite can make the inner cavity temperature reach a higher level (about 75 ℃), and combined with the final high temperature rinsing before drying, it can achieve a very good disinfection effect.

3. time-consuming

The drying speed is extremely fast and the efficiency is very high. Deep drying can usually be completed within 20-40 minutes.

4. features:

①. Combining the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and quiet

②. The drying effect is top, which can completely dry all tableware and inner cavity very quickly,

③. Low operating noise, more intelligent use of energy.

(4)、Independent disinfection and drying

1. working principle

This is not a 1 basic technology, but a combination of enhanced functions. It can be based on any 1 of the above drying technologies (common in hot air or zeolite drying types), but will greatly increase the drying time and intensity. The program usually contains:

①. Flush at ultra-high water temperature (e. g. above 72 ℃) for a long time.

②. Continuous hot air/drying process for longer time and higher temperature (e. g. above 75 ℃).

2. disinfection effect

Ultra-high temperature (usually up to 70 ℃-85 ℃) and lasting enough time can effectively kill a variety of stubborn bacteria and viruses, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and achieve higher disinfection levels.

3. time-consuming

A complete treatment cycle takes 90-120 minutes.

4. features:

①. Provide the highest level of disinfection and drying protection in the current dishwasher field.

②. It is particularly suitable for the thorough treatment of items with stringent hygiene requirements.

③. After drying, the tableware can be stored in the machine for a long time.

(5)、Drying efficiency optimization scheme

1. chemical assistance

Adding a special rinsing agent can reduce the surface tension of water, so that the surface of the tableware forms a hydrophobic film, the water aggregates into beads and is easy to slide off, and the drying time can be shortened by about 20%.

2. temperature management

Make sure that the inlet water temperature is not lower than 45 ℃. The test data show that

the overall drying time is reduced by 8-12% for every 5 ℃ increase in the inlet water temperature.

3. ventilation strategy

After the end of the procedure immediately open the door 2-3cm, the use of natural convection can accelerate the distribution of residual moisture, this operation can make the final dryness increased by 15%.

Conclusion

From the condensation adsorption of waste heat, to the hot air circulation of active attack, to the innovative use of zeolite technology with physical characteristics, the evolution of dishwasher drying technology clearly reflects people's pursuit of continuous improvement of kitchen efficiency and health standards. Understanding these technical details is ultimately to make the tools in our hands better serve our lives. Behind the clean and dry dishes, we can reap 1 peace of mind, convenience and calm.
