Abstract: A cleaning appliance for cleaning of cleaning stock is provided, which is set up in order to act with at least one cleaning fluid upon the cleaning stock in at least one cleaning chamber. The cleaning appliance has at least one fluid tank for storing the cleaning fluid. Furthermore, the cleaning appliance has a suction-extraction device for the suction-extraction of moist air from the cleaning chamber and also has at least one heat recovery device. The heat recovery device is set up in order to extract heat from the moist air. The heat recovery device has at least one Peltier element, which has a heat-absorption side and a waste-heat side. The waste-heat side is in thermal contact with a fluid heating device. The fluid heating device is, in turn, in contact with a first cooling fluid and is set up in order to heat this first cooling fluid. The cleaning appliance is set up, furthermore, in order to use the first cooling fluid for a cleaning process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the recooling of cleaned items in automatic cleaning and disinfecting machines for containers containing human excreta. According to the proposed method, the items to be cleaned, which are contained in a chamber (1), are rinsed off inside said chamber (1), after which a precleaning rinsing step takes place. The items to be cleaned, which are contained in the chamber (1), are then subjected to a final cleaning with water that contains a clear rinse additive, before the items to be cleaned are subjected to a disinfection step in the chamber (1) by introduction of steam into the latter. With the door (5) closed, air is forcibly introduced into the steam-filled chamber (1), which leads to steam condensation inside the chamber (1) and also to cooling and drying of the cleaned items contained in the chamber (1).
