SensorDry Feature

Recirculation Turbothermic drying is based on the taking in of cool ambient
air to condense the moist, warm air in the cabinet interior. The optimal drying
effect is achieved at 73°F with a full load.
The SensorDry function ensures that good drying results are achieved in the
Sensor Wash program, regardless of ambient temperature or load size.
These factors can normally have a positive or a negative effect on drying
results.
Before the program begins (before water intake), the ambient temperature
is measured by temperature sensor R30 (in the sump) and saved in the
electronic. If the ambient temperature changes after the start of the program
(for example, when a window is opened), this is not taken into account.
If the measured ambient temperature is below 73°F, the condenser or side
panel is cooled further, resulting in the air in the cabinet being dehumidified to
a greater extent. If the measured ambient temperature is above 73°F, the
opposite applies: The condenser or side panel is cooled less and, as a
consequence, the air in the cabinet is also dehumidified to a lesser extent.
Note:
With an ambient temperature greater than or equal to 82°F, maximum
values are always set for rinse aid dispensing amount and temperature, as
well as fan running time.
The second influential factor is the load size. The drying efficiency
classification is based on a standard load (12 standard place settings). A
smaller load can have a negative impact on drying results because the larger
the load, the greater the heat transfer. The load size is established during the
final rinse. Here, an indirect measurement is taken depending on the rise in
temperature per minute in the temperature range of 113 to 140°F. The larger
the load in the machine, the longer it takes for the desired final rinse
temperature to be reached. Heater performance always remains at a
constant level, but every additional item in the load binds more heat energy
and this extends the heating time.
The SensorDry function can affect certain parameters as follows:
 Final rinse temperature: The final rinse temperature lies in the
temperature range of 144 to 158°F, depending on the situation.
 Rinse aid dispensing: In addition to the customer selection, 0.03 to 0.09
fluid ounces (1 to 3 milliliters) may be dispensed.
 Fan operating time: The fan operating time can be between 17 and 35
minutes.
The following scenarios are possible:
1. Low ambient temperature - Large load: Optimal conditions for optimal
drying results. The fan operating time can be shortened, the final rinse
temperature is reduced, and no additional rinse aid is dispensed.
2. High ambient temperature - Small load: Unfavorable conditions for
optimal drying results. The fan operating time is extended, the final rinse
