Dishwasher with improved drying performance

摘要

The present invention relates to a dishwasher with enhanced drying performance without using a fan. Water contained in the dishwasher is circulated preferably by means of one of the pumps in the machine (circulation or discharge pump) and through a jet pump placed in the dishwasher in such a manner that the air intake opening is in communication with one of the wash tub surfaces. Water within the dishwasher accelerates due to the kinetic energy acquired during this circulation and its pressure drops locally to a value below the atmospheric pressure. Due to this reduced pressure, water vapour and air from the washtub is suctioned from the tub.
