Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015106948A1] The invention relates to a device 1 and a method for cleaning a component 2 arranged in a process air circuit of a dryer, using a rinsing liquid, said cleaning device 1 having a receptacle 3 for receiving the rinsing liquid after it has made contact with the component 2 to be cleaned, and a sensor chamber 5 in which a filling level sensor 4 is arranged, said sensor chamber 5 being arranged outside of the receptacle 3 so as to be in hydraulic communication with same via an opening system 6. A supply line system 7 of said cleaning device 1 comprises a first supply line 8 running directly to the sensor chamber 5, and a second supply line 9 running to the component 2 to be cleaned, said supply line system 7 and opening system 6 being designed such that per unit of time, a greater volume of the rinsing liquid can flow into the sensor chamber 5 via the first supply line 8 than can flow out of the sensor chamber 5 into the receptacle 3 through the opening system 6, and said cleaning device 1 being designed such that, during filling, the filling level of the rinsing liquid in the sensor chamber 5 reaches at least a height which corresponds to the upper limit of the opening system 6 before the filling level of the rinsing liquid in the receptacle 3 has reached a height that corresponds to the lower limit of the opening system 6. The invention also relates to a preferred dryer which comprises such a cleaning device 1.
