A device for the dehumidification of air in a processing space of a dishwasher is connected in an air-conducting manner to the processing space of the electric appliance. The device includes carbon-based fibres, which are designed as a fibre unit. The fibre unit is arranged between the processing space or an air duct connected thereto and at least one dehumidification chamber of the device. The carbon-based fibres absorb moisture from the air of the processing space, which they then release again in the dehumidification chamber. During this process, the carbon-based fibres are moved backwards and forwards between the processing space or air duct and the dehumidification chamber, preferably by slow rotation on a support.

A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a pump, a spray assembly, a fluid recirculation duct a sorption segment, and an electric heating assembly. The tub may be housed within the cabinet and define a wash chamber. The spray assembly may be housed within the wash chamber of the tub in fluid communication with the pump. The fluid recirculation duct may define a duct path extending from a path inlet to a path outlet to recirculate air. The sorption segment may be disposed along the duct path and include a reversibly dehydratable material. The electric heating assembly may be disposed outside of the wash chamber in thermal communication with the sorption segment to selectively heat the sorption segment.

A dishwasher configured for drying dishes with the dishwasher having a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber and a closed loop condensation system for extracting liquid from air within a treating chamber of the dishwasher and a controller configured to control the dry cycle for drying of the dishes in the treating chamber of the dishwasher.

A dishwasher, a door assembly for the dishwasher and a method of drying the dishware in the dishwasher are provided. The dishwasher may include a tub portion adapted to hold dishware, a heating element proximate a bottom of the tub portion and configured to heat air inside the tub portion during a drying cycle, and a blower configured to direct the air and vaporized water into a duct having an inlet proximate the top of the tub portion. The heat causes the air to rise toward a top of the tub and collect vaporized water from the dishware. The duct is configured to receive the air and the vaporized water. The dishwasher includes a sensor configured to measure a humidity level. A control unit is in communication with the sensor and selectively actuates and de-actuates at least one of the heating element and the blower, based on the humidity level.

A method of drying dishes in a dishwasher having a condensation system for extracting liquid from air within a treating chamber of the dishwasher to control the dry cycle of the dishes in the treating chamber.

A commercial dishwasher includes a hood movable in a vertical direction between an open position and a closed position. The hood includes two opposing side walls and a front wall connecting the side walls. In the closed position, the side walls and the front wall bound a treatment chamber. In the open position, the side walls and the front wall are present above an upper wall and/or ceiling region, which bounds the treatment chamber upwardly and is fixedly connected to a rear wall of the treatment chamber, and there laterally bound a clear space at least partially or in regions. The dishwasher includes a drying module, which is arranged on the upper wall region of the dishwasher and is configured such that it is completely accommodated in the clear space, which is, in the open position of the hood, laterally bounded by the side walls and the front wall.

A dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving crockery, glasses, and/or cutlery to be processed. The dishwasher cavity is provided with a movable front door for loading and unloading. A drying unit which includes a sorbent is designed for passage of air from the dishwasher cavity in a drying phase, wherein the dishwasher is designed to guide during the drying phase a portion of the air out of the dishwasher cavity over the sorbent and to guide a portion of the air outwards to an air outlet, while the front door remains closed during an entire duration of the drying phase.

A warewasher (1) provided as a box-type warewasher and a method for operating such a warewasher (1) are provided. In accordance with the warewasher and method, during the adsorption phase, air is guided from the treatment chamber (2) of the machine (1) through a drying unit (40) in such a way that moisture from the airflow is absorbed by a dry material, wherein the air is then fed again to the treatment chamber (2). Furthermore, the drying device is arranged above the treatment chamber (2) so as to effectively prevent penetration of splashed water into the drying device (40).

A dishwasher with multiple physically separate treating chambers includes an air supply system selectively supplying drying air to the treating chambers, and a drying air exhaust system selectively removing drying air from the treating chambers. A method for operating a dishwasher selectively supplies heated drying air to and exhausts drying air from at least one treating chamber.

A method of controlling a dishwasher includes: driving a circulation fan disposed in a circulation duct that communicates with at least two portions of a tub; controlling a rotational speed to change the rotational speed of the circulation fan; and driving an exhaust fan to discharge the air in the tub to the outside.
