A washing appliance having a washing compartment, a water inlet tank configured to accommodate water for use in a wash cycle in the washing compartment, and a water inlet conduit configured to supply water to the water inlet tank. The washing appliance further comprises a drain conduit configured to conduct washing liquid from the washing compartment and a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the drain conduit and the water inlet conduit. Moreover, the washing appliance comprises a heat pump circuit comprising a condenser and an evaporator, wherein the condenser is configured to heat the washing compartment.

Disclosed herein is a dishwasher. The dishwasher includes a main body, a tub provided inside the main body, a basket provided inside the tub to store items, an injection assembly configured to spray water to wash the item in the basket, and a duct including a first body configured to supply water to the injection assembly and provided to extend along a first direction, and a second body to which water flows and provided to extend from the first body to along second direction. The duct is formed by coupling of a first housing provided to form at least a portion of the first body and the second body, and a second housing provided to form another portion of the first body and the second body.

A dishwashing appliance with a filtration assembly capable of removing/shredding/pulverizing large dishwashing debris from recirculated dishwashing fluid is provided. The dishwashing appliance may include a tub, a spray system, a recirculation pump, a drainage pump, and a grinding type filtration assembly in fluid communication with the spray system, the recirculation pump, and the drainage pump.

A dish washer includes a cabinet; a tub in the cabinet; a sump underneath the tub; a case brake on a side wall of the tub and connected to the sump; a water supply valve connected to an external water supply source; a filter assembly between the water supply valve and the case brake and including a plurality of flow path valves to open or close a plurality of flow paths corresponding to the plurality of flow path valves to guide water supplied from the external water supply source to the case brake; and a processor configured to open the water supply valve and one of the plurality of flow path valves at different points in time to start supplying the water and close the water supply valve and the one of the plurality of flow path valves at different points in time to stop the supplying of the water.

A beverage container washing system may be used for rapid washing and/or sanitizing of beverage containers, e.g., for use in a retail environment to wash and/or sanitize customer-provided beverage containers prior to filling the beverage containers with purchased beverages, among other applications. Separate entrance and exit openings may be provided in some instances to minimize employee interaction with unwashed customer beverage containers.

An apparatus for reducing emulsions in kitchen effluent discharging to a FOG removal apparatus includes a pre-rinse sink, a tank positioned below the pre-rinse sink to receive effluent from the pre-rinse sink, an outlet from the tank and leading to a pipe, a valve in the outlet having an open position and a closed position, a dishwasher having a drain connected to the pipe, and a control for the valve to be in its closed position when the dishwasher is discharging to the pipe.

A liquid filtering system for a dishwasher, having a housing defining a filter chamber and configured to be fluidly coupled to a recirculation flow path of the dishwasher, a filter located within the filter chamber and having a first end axially spaced from a second end and defining a filter there between that has a first surface and a second surface, the filter being positioned within the recirculation flow path to filter soils from liquid flowing through the recirculation flow path as the liquid passes through the filter and a flow diverter to aid in cleaning the filter.

A food waste collector system has a tank, a pump that recirculates water by pumping it from the tank through a spout that discharges into the top of the tank, and an overhead sprayer. The overhead sprayer has a nozzle fluidly coupled by a fresh water valve to a fresh water passage of a water line and by a recirculating water valve to a recirculating water passage of the water line. The overhead sprayer also has a valve handle disposed at the nozzle and coupled to the fresh water valve and the recirculating water valve.

A dishwasher having a treating chamber with one or more sprayers through which liquid is recirculated into the treating chamber, whereby the impact of the spray emitted from the sprayers impacts the structure forming the treating chamber to generate noise. Damping material is applied to structure forming the treating chamber to reduce the sound level of the impact exterior of the dishwasher.
