Household appliance having an air drying device and/or fluid heating unit, and associated method

摘要

A household appliance, particularly a household dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer, or the like, includes an air drying device and/or fluid heating device, connected to an electrical energy supply network. At least one control/monitoring unit is provided to detect any deviation of an actual value of at least one characteristic of the electrical energy supply network from a target value and to generate at least one control signal for setting an electrical component of the member in response to a detected deviation of the actual value.

主权项

1. A household appliance, comprising
at least one member selected from the group consisting of an air drying device and a fluid heating device, said member being configured to draw electrical power from an electrical energy supply network; and at least one controller configured to detect any deviation of an actual value of at least one characteristic of the electrical energy supply network from a target value and to generate at least one control signal for setting an electrical component of the member in response to a detected deviation of the actual value, wherein the controller is configured to provide the at least one control signal to the electrical component of the member such that any deviation of the actual value of the at least one characteristic of the electrical energy supply network from a target value is counteracted by adjusting an operating parameter of the electrical component essentially in a compensating manner to substantially maintain a desired target heat energy by the electrical component of the member while operating the electrical component using electricity supplied with the deviation of the actual value.
