Patent ID: 8858727

Claim:
A dishwasher, comprising: a washing compartment; an air ducting channel to generate an airflow; and a sorption drying system to dry wash items, the sorption drying system having a sorption compartment with reversibly dehydratable sorption material that is connected to the washing compartment via the air ducting channel, a heating element upstream of the reversibly dehydratable sorption material, and a plate upstream of the heating element; wherein: the air ducting channel is coupled to the sorption compartment such that the airflow enters the sorption compartment with an inflow direction and changes direction to a through-flow direction in which the airflow flows through the inside of the sorption compartment; the through-flow direction is different from the inflow direction; and the plate includes a slot that the air flow is adapted to flow at least partially through and that corresponds to the heating element.
