Types of dryers in the dishwasher (condensation dryer, turbo dryer)
Condensation, or natural drying occurs when the dishes gradually cool after rinsing with hot water. The steam from the dishes condenses on the walls of the chamber, after which the drops flow into the container. The plus is the efficiency of the method, minus - a very long drying time, some housewives, for example, start the machine in the evening, so that by morning the dishes will dry properly. The option to get rid of condensation on the dishes is to open the door of the dishwasher.
Turbo dryer, or as it is also called, convection, is carried out by supplying hot air with the help of a fan. The advantage of the method is speed, however, for its implementation, a heating element must be used, consuming a significant amount of electricity. Some owners embark on a trick - turn off the machine after the last rinse cycle, and open the door.
