Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1602315A1] Distributor/heater device (10) for washing machines (20), particularly dishwashers, for heating a flow of water in a substantially instantaneous manner and for distributing the heated water to two delivery elements (17a, 17b). The device (10) comprises a first body (11) inside which a resistance element (13) is installed to heat the water, and also a second body (23), distinct from the first body (11) and at least partly hollow inside, assembled as a substantial axial extension to the first body (11). On the second body (23) a motorized flow-diversion device (30) is assembled, which is activated to selectively send the heated water towards one and/or the other of at least two (24a, 24b) outlet pipes made on the second body (23). <IMAGE>
