  • Tubular heaters can be used to heat up washing solution in washing machines.
  • the heat is generated electrically by means of a heating coil and transferred via a heating tube in the wash liquor.
  • a special mounting volume in the tub construction is taken into account. The heat generated is lost again when pumping out the heated liquor.
  • flat and flow heaters can be used, but which can save only a small amount of energy compared to a tubular heater solution.
  • a solution for further saving of heating energy in a washing device is currently unknown.
  • the publication EP 2 334 861 B1 describes a device for heating process water for a water-conducting household appliance, in which the process water flows through a meander-shaped container to heat the supplied cold process water to an ambient temperature.
  • the container includes a heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the environment.
  • the publication EP 2 096 203 A1 shows a household washing machine with a heat pump.
  • the publication DE 10 2008 041 955 A1 shows a device for heating process water for a water-bearing household appliance.
  • the object is achieved by a household appliance having a rinse water container for receiving rinse water and a suds container for receiving a wash liquor, wherein the household appliance comprises a thermal generator for transferring a heat quantity from the rinse water to the wash liquor.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the wash liquor can be heated at the expense of an existing in the household appliance amount of rinse water.
  • the result lowered temperature of the rinsing water does not adversely affect a rinsing, which is carried out after a washing process.
  • a household appliance is a device that is used for household management. This can be a large household appliance, such as a washing machine, a dishwasher or a tumble dryer.
  • the rinsing water container comprises heat transfer ribs for transferring heat from the environment to the rinsing water container.
  • the household appliance comprises a fan for transferring heat from the environment to the rinse water tank.
  • the household appliance comprises a heat exchanger for heating the wash liquor, which is coupled to the thermal generator.
  • the heat exchanger is arranged in a pumped circulation for pumping over the wash liquor.
  • the pumped circulation system comprises an additional heater for heating the wash liquor.
  • the pumped circulation system comprises an outlet valve for draining off the wash liquor.
  • the rinse water container is arranged on a rear wall of the household appliance.
  • the rinse water container is arranged above the tub.
  • the household appliance comprises a line with a controllable valve for admitting the rinsing water into the tub.
  • the household appliance comprises a wastewater container for temporary storage of wastewater.
  • the wastewater container comprises heat transfer ribs for transferring heat from the waste water to the environment.
  • the wastewater container is located in an air flow direction of the fan.
  • the rinse water tank and the waste water tank are integrated in a tank unit.
  • the rinse water tank and waste water tank are thermally insulated from each other.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that an unwanted heat transfer is prevented.
  • Fig. 1 1 shows a schematic view of a washing machine for laundry as domestic appliance 100.
  • the laundry is located in a drum 137 inside the domestic appliance 100.
  • the domestic appliance 100 comprises a rinse water tank 101 for receiving tap water as rinse water 103 and a washing tank 105 for receiving a washing liquor 107.
  • the household appliance 100 comprises a thermogenerator 109 for transferring a heat quantity from the rinsing water 103 to the washing liquor 107.
  • the thermogenerator 109 comprises, for example, a compressor or semiconductor components which utilize the Peltier effect.
  • the amount of heat for heating the washing liquor 107 is borrowed from the environment by means of a heat exchanger 131 and the thermal generator 109.
  • the thermal generator 109 serves as an active element for heating the wash liquor 107.
  • the wash liquor 107 is heated by a heat exchanger 115 in the pumping system of the household appliance 100.
  • the pumping system circulates the wash liquor 107 in a pumping circulation 117 by means of a pump 133 in the tub 105.
  • the pumping circulation 117 comprises a controllable outlet valve 119, through which the wash liquor 107 can be passed out of the tub 105.
  • the heat exchanger 131 extracts heat from the rinse water 103 of the rinse water tank 101.
  • the rinsing water container 101 is, for example, a container filled with 30 l of water.
  • the rinse water tank 101 is heated by convection with ambient air, so that the temperature of the rinse water tank 101 can not fall below a certain minimum temperature, for example, 5 ° C.
  • a fan 113 for transmitting heat from the environment to the rinse water tank 101 by means of an air flow is provided.
  • the use of a thermally conductive rinsing water container 101 with a convection in an ambient air flow through the fan 113 increases the heat transfer.
  • the rinse water tank 101 comprises heat transfer fins 111 for transferring heat from the ambient air to the rinse water tank 101.
  • the domestic appliance 100 enables a significantly higher energy saving over a solution with a tubular heater for heating the wash liquor 107.
  • the rinse water 103 which has been removed from the heat for the heating process of the wash liquor 107, is then introduced into the tub 105 and used to rinse the laundry previously washed with the wash.
  • the flushing water container 101 is connected via a line 121 with a controllable valve 123 to the tub 105.
  • the heat removed in this way from the rinsing water 103 can be released by means of the thermogenerator 109 and a further heat exchanger 115 via a circulating circuit 117 to the washing liquor 107.
  • a circulating circuit 117 to the washing liquor 107.
  • the wash liquor 107 is buffered as waste water in a waste water tank 125, so that the heat contained in the waste water 129 can be partially released back to the environment.
  • the waste water tank 125 thus serves to return the heat energy and is formed for hygienic and saving reasons next to the rinse water tank 101 as a second container which is thermally insulated from the rinse water tank 101, but also in good thermal contact with the environment.
  • the rinsing water container 101 and the waste water container 125 are expediently combined in a tank unit for water management.
  • the rinsing water tank 101 and the waste water tank 125 are disposed at the upper portion of the household appliance 100 or at the rear wall thereof.
  • the rinse water tank 101 and the waste water tank 125 are in good thermal contact with the ambient air.
  • the cached waste water 129 can be discharged.
  • Inlet and outlet of the wash liquor 107 or the waste water into the waste water tank 125 is controlled by means of an outlet valve 135.
  • the intermediate storage step can be switched off depending on the environmental conditions, so that a cooling effect on the environment arises, for example in summer.
  • Coordination of power generation, transfer and water management may include, for example, the following steps. First, a filling of the tub 105 with tap water takes place. Subsequently, a filling of the rinse water container 101 takes place as a reservoir with tap water. Thereafter, a heating of the water in the tub 105 via the thermal generator 109 by heat energy from the water of the Spülement mattersers 101th
  • the waste water tank 125 includes heat transfer fins 127.
  • the tub 105 is rinsed with inflowing tap water.
  • the wastewater from the waste water tank 125 is discharged via a valve 139 after cooling or at the latest before ending the wash cycle. Due to the intermediate storage in the waste water tank 125, the heat present in the waste water 129 is largely returned to the environment.
  • the household appliance achieves a significant reduction in the electrical energy consumed by the domestic appliance in the washing process. By eliminating a tubular heater simplification of the tub construction is possible. In addition, there is a saving in water consumption. There is a double use of located in the rinse tank 101 and already used for heat extraction tap water to avoid overconsumption.
