A method and dishwasher utilize one or more sprayers that are coupled to both a liquid supply and an air supply through a common hydraulic circuit such that both liquid and pressurized air can be supplied to the one or more sprayers.

A conveyor warewasher has at least one washing zone, at least one rinsing zone and a conveyor apparatus. A camera system is arranged above or below or to the side of the conveyor apparatus and is configured in order capture at least one image of a portion of the conveyor apparatus, preferably continuously or at predetermined or determinable times and/or events. An evaluation device is configured in order to evaluate and determine on the basis of the at least one image whether, at the time of the image capture, washware of the following washware category was present in the portion of the conveyor apparatus: reusable plasticware, in particular in the form of plastic trays, plastic mugs, plastic bowls, plastic covers for plastic bowls, and/or plastic plates.

A conveyor warewasher has at least one washing zone, at least one rinsing zone and a conveyor apparatus. A device for sensing a loading of the conveyor apparatus, which device is configured in order to determine, continuously or at predetermined or determinable times and/or events, a loading of the conveyor apparatus with washware. A control device is configured in order to, during a learning or observation phase over at least one observation period or over a plurality of observation periods each relating to a washing shift or a washing day of the conveyor warewasher or a portion thereof, determine a chronological profile of the loading of the conveyor apparatus with washware to be conveyed, wherein the control device is configured in order to deduce a pattern or a regularity based on the determined chronological profile of the loading of the conveyor apparatus with washware.

A dual-mode water inlet dishwasher includes a shell, an inner container, a spraying arm, a washing pump, a heating washing pump, and a respirator water tank which are provided in the shell. A water trough is provided in the inner container. A water inlet of the water trough is connected to the respirator water tank. A water outlet of the water trough is connected to the heating washing pump. The heating washing pump is connected to the spraying arm. The respirator water tank is provided with a respirator body and a water tank body. A tap water inlet, a water-tank water inlet, and a washing water port are provided on the respirator body or the water tank body. The tap water inlet is connected to tap water by means of a solenoid valve. The water-tank water inlet is connected to the water tank by means of a water pump.

The invention relates to a dishwasher (110) for use in a means of transport (114) The dishwasher comprises a) at least one cleaning chamber (122) for receiving an item (112) to be cleaned, b) at least one application device (130) for applying the item (112) to be cleaned in the cleaning chamber (122) with at least one cleaning fluid (126): c) at least one washing tank (128) for receiving the at least one cleaning fluid (126), wherein the dishwasher (110) is designed to control a fill level of the washing tank (128) with the cleaning fluid (126) to a variably adjustable target level; d) at least one receiving device (186) for receiving at least one item of spatial information relating to the dishwasher (110); and e) at least one controller (166), wherein the controller (166) is programmed to determine the target level according to the spatial information.

A free-standing Energy Recovery System enables sanitary recovery of thermal energy with heat transfer from hot waste effluent to incoming domestic water. The source of the effluent may, for example, be conventional commercial ware-washing, clothes washing equipment, pasteurization and other industrial processes.

The dishwasher of one embodiment comprises a tub, a sump, a wash pump, a rack, a nozzle disposed at a lower end of the rack, rotated by a repulsive force of wash water supplied from the wash pump, spraying wash water to a wash target, and having a magnetic object coupled to one end of the nozzle so that a first pole and a second pole of the magnetic object face a rotation direction of the nozzle, a sensing module that senses a magnetic force generated by the magnetic object generated by a rotation of the nozzle, and a controller receiving sensing results from the sensing module, and determining one or more of a rotation direction of the nozzle, a rotation speed of the nozzle and whether the nozzle rotates, to output an abnormality notification to a user or control wash water supplied to the nozzle through the wash pump.

Disclosed in the present invention are an energy-saving dishwasher and a control method therefor. The inner container is arranged inside the housing, the inner container is internally provided with a manifold type dish rack for placing dishes and spraying steam to perform steam cleaning on the dishes, and the manifold type dish rack is placed on a supporting frame fixed to the inner container. A water storage tank, a steam/hot water integrated generating device and a water pump are arranged below the inner container, and the steam/hot water integrated generating device includes a generating assembly and a control assembly. The manifold type dish rack is configured to place the dishes and simultaneously sprays steam to clean the dishes. The steam/hot water integrated generating device is configured to generate steam and hot water, heating is performed to generate the steam, and then relative cooling is performed to generate the hot water.

An automated cleaning machine may include one or more short cleaning cycles in which the duration of a cleaning cycle is shortened relative to the duration of a default cleaning cycle. During a short cleaning cycle, other cleaning cycle parameters may also be adjusted to ensure that the articles subjected to the short cleaning cycle are adequately cleaned and sanitized. For example, the wash temperature, rinse temperature, and/or cleaning product amounts or concentrations, may be adjusted to account for the shortened duration of the cleaning cycle. The automated cleaning machine may further include one or more short cycle mode(s) during which short cleaning cycle parameters are used and one or more default cycle mode(s) during which default cleaning cycle parameters are used.
