An example soaker sink may include a sink basin that receives wash items therein and defines an inlet opening. The soaker sink may further include a manifold that defines an inlet opening, an interior that receives a fluid flow input via the inlet opening, and a plurality of outlets. The outlets may permit discharge of fluid from the interior of the manifold to the sink basin and may include at least a first outlet and may further include a common outlet dimension. The soaker sink may further include a pump fluidically coupled with the inlet opening of the sink basin and the inlet opening of the manifold to recirculate fluid from the sink basin to the manifold. A flow restrictor may be removably coupled with the first outlet and may be configured to modify a flow rate of the fluid discharged via the first outlet.

A warewash machine includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having at least one wash zone. A refrigerant circuit includes multiple condensers including a condenser to deliver refrigerant heat to incoming water that is being delivered into the machine. A primary flow path for incoming water passes through a waste heat recovery unit and a secondary flow path for incoming water bypasses the waste heat recovery unit. A valve is provided for selectively controlling whether refrigerant flows along the primary flow path or the secondary flow path based upon a subcooled condition of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.

A warewash machine includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having at least one wash zone. A refrigerant medium circuit includes a first condenser and a second condenser, the first condenser located upstream of the second condenser in the refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant medium circuit includes a first flow path through the first condenser and a second flow path in bypass of the first condenser, and a valve for selectively controlling whether at least some refrigerant medium flows along the first flow path or the second flow path.

A warewash machine includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having at least one wash zone. A refrigerant medium circuit includes a first heat exchanger arranged to deliver refrigerant medium heat to a first fluid and a second heat exchanger arranged to provide a heat exchange relationship between the refrigerant medium and a second fluid, the first heat exchanger located upstream of the second heat exchanger in the refrigerant medium circuit. A bypass arrangement for causing at least some refrigerant medium to selectively bypass at least one of the first condenser or the second condenser based upon subcooled refrigerant medium condition.

A washer includes: a supply-water storage section configured to store supply water; a wastewater storage section configured to temporarily store wastewater and a wastewater heat recovery device including a water supply channel through which the supply water is supplied to the supply-water storage section and a drain channel through which the wastewater is drained from the wastewater storage section, and configured to exchange heat between the wastewater flowing in the drain channel and the supply water flowing in the water supply channel. the wastewater heat recovery device is disposed below the washing chamber, and is provided in a machine chamber in which a pump configured to deliver the supply water from the supply-water storage section to the washing chamber is disposed, and the drain channel is connected to a drain hole of the wastewater storage section.

This disclosure proposes a cleaning device for cleaning items to be cleaned. The cleaning device has at least one fluid device for applying at least one cleaning fluid to the items to be cleaned. The cleaning device has at least one electrical load. The cleaning device further has at least one electrical connection for supplying electrical energy to the cleaning device. The cleaning device further has at least one energy store. The cleaning device is designed to receive electrical energy via the electrical connection and to temporarily store said electrical energy in the energy store. The cleaning device is further designed to supply electrical energy from the energy store to the at least one electrical load.

A dishwasher includes a heat recovery apparatus to recover thermal energy of the wastewater and/or exhaust air and to transfer the thermal energy to at least one treatment liquid to be sprayed and/or to a drying air. A primary circulation system has a heat pump assembly and a secondary circulation system. A heat exchanger unit of the heat pump assembly enables at least a portion of the thermal energy transferred to refrigerant of the primary circulation system to be transferred to a carrier medium in the secondary circulation system. A heat exchanger unit of the secondary circulation system enables at least a portion of the thermal energy transferred to the carrier medium to be transferred as utility heat to the treatment liquid and/or to the drying air.

A bottlewasher rack assembly includes a mount hub for mounting to a lower wash and liquid feed system of a warewash machine, and a plurality of interconnected wash arms and rinse arms to which wash liquid and rinse liquid, respectively, are fed from the mount hub. A plurality of upwardly projecting wash feed tubes are provided, each wash feed tube having at least one wash spray nozzle. A plurality of upwardly projecting rinse feed tubes are provided, each rinse feed tube having at least one rinse spray nozzle. The wash feed tubes and the rinse feed tubes are arranged in a multiplicity of side-by-side pairs so that each pair can project upward within a respective upside down bottle placed thereon. A warewash machine incorporating the bottlewasher rack assembly is also described.
