The dishwasher is a fairly simple piece of equipment. In recent years it has become a popular household appliance, as it is extremely effective, economical and convenient.
The dishwasher uses hot water which is under pressure to revolve spray arms. These arms are used to clean the dishes. They release powerful jets of water in all directions as they are spinning which ensures that all the dishes and utensils will be reached. After the dishes have been washed, they are rinsed by jets of clean water and then dried.
THE CYCLE
STEP 1)
Treatment Of The Water - First cold water enters the dishwasher via a water softener. This treats the water so that the resulting washed dishes dry without any stains or marks.
STEP 2)
Heating Of The Water - The water is now held in the base of the dishwasher. Here it is heated and a detergent is added.
STEP 3)
Washing Of The Dishes - The hot water is pumped to the spray arms by means of a wash pump. These arms spray the dishes and the dispersed water is gathered in the base of the dishwasher. When the water reaches this point it can be recycled after it has been filtered.
STEP 4)
Rinsing And Drying Of The Dishes - The dishes are put through the washing process again with detergent free water to rinse them and finally dried with jets of warm air from the spray arms.
