Abstract (en)

[origin: US2017027409A1] A warewash machine for washing wares includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having at least one wash zone. A waste heat recovery unit is arranged to transfer heat from exhaust air of the machine to incoming water traveling along a water flow path through the waste heat recovery unit to a booster heater of the machine. A refrigerant medium circuit includes at least a first condenser arranged to deliver refrigerant medium heat to the incoming water. A control arrangement monitors subcooled refrigerant medium condition and responsively modifies operation of one or more of: (i) speed of a compressor of the refrigerant medium circuit, (ii) speed of an exhaust fan that causes air flow across the waste heat recovery unit or (iii) speed of a pump that controls incoming water flow along the water flow path.
