Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2019068337A1] A laundry washing machine (1) having an outer casing (2) and comprising, inside said outer casing (2): a washing tub (3); a rotatable drum which is housed in axially rotatable manner inside the washing tub (3) and is structured for housing the laundry to be washed; a detergent dispenser (10) which is structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub (3); a fresh-water supply circuit (11) which is structured for selectively channelling the fresh water of an external water source towards the detergent dispenser (10) and/or the washing tub (3); and an electro-chemical device (13) which in turn comprises: an electrolytic cell (18) capable of internally converting a brine into a chlorine-based sanitizing agent which is subsequently channelled into the washing tub (3); an unpressurized salt container (14) which is adapted to contain a given amount of consumable salt grains and has an unsealed loading inlet which is directly exposed or exposable to the outside of the casing (2); a water supply line (15) adapted to channel, on command, a given amount of water into the salt container (14) so as to dissolve at least part of the salt grains contained therein and form some brine; and an unpressurized brine container (17) that fluidically communicates with the salt container (14) and is adapted to collect and contain the brine previously formed into the salt container (14), so as to avoid any prolonged stagnation of the water/brine intro the same salt container (14); the electrolytic cell (18) communicating with said brine container (17) so as to receive the brine contained therein.
