  • Patent number: 9492057
    Abstract: A device (5), arranged for fluid communication with a washing chamber (2) of a dishwasher (1), the device further being arranged to allow a passage of air (9) between the washing chamber and the device, the device comprising a drying material (10) arranged in a bed (11), the drying material being able to withdraw moisture from the air passing through the bed during a withdrawal step, and release moisture to the air during a regeneration step, a heating element (13) arranged in the bed arranged to heat the drying material during the regeneration step such that moisture is released from the drying material, and a fan (14), arranged to circulate the air between the device and the washing chamber such that the air flow rate during the withdrawal step is higher than the air flow rate during the regeneration step by altering the fan speed.
