This is the award winning Siemens speedMatic Dishwasher. It is 20% more efficient than any other in the highest energy-efficiency category. Its minimal water consumption of 10 instead of 14 litres per cycle is also a new record by the Engineers at BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte, who have brought this technology from the industries to home appliances. As stylish and beautiful this machine looks so does the concept of how this machine works.
This image represents and explains the concept of the latest Siemens dishwasher which uses an innovative zeolitic drying system(using zeolite); which has won them the Award for Climate Protection and the Environment in the category for product and service innovations in the field of climate protection.
During the drying cycle the zeolites adsorp (and not absorb as stated everywhere) the moisture content in the warm moist air generating further heat thus help reducing the drying cycle under two hours at 50°c; 30 minutes less than any other machine. During the washing cycle, the zeolites are heated up as a result of which they release water into the machine (they are able to adsorb about 40% of their dry weight). The zeolites should be functional till the life time of the machine.
These machines are highly efficient and help save energy reducing CO2 emissions at the same time. According to estimates if all the 1.3kWh dishwasher are replaced by these machines in Germany, over 1.2 million metric tons of CO2 a year of emissions would be reduced which is equivalent to 600,000 passenger cars, each driving 15,000 kilometers a year.
