Abstract
Dishwashing machine including a washing tank (1) provided with an upper aperture (6) and a lower aperture (7) that are interconnected through a conduit (8) extending outside the tank. During drying, the vapor in the tank is caused to circulate along a closed-loop flow-path defined by the tank and the conduit (8), thereby reducing to a minimum the effect of thermal stratification of the vapor in the tank and, as a result, favoring a homogeneous drying effect of the washload items.
