Abstract: A cap is configured to couple to a nozzle of a dish washer that is configured to supply air into a tub of the dish washer. The cap includes a lower cap configured to couple to an upper end portion of the nozzle, a flow cover configured to cover a part of the upper end portion of the nozzle, and an upper cap coupled to the lower cap and configured to, based on the cap being coupled to the nozzle, be spaced apart from and positioned above the nozzle and the flow cover. The cap defines a discharge opening configured to discharge air supplied to an inner space of the cap through the nozzle.

Abstract: A clothes treatment apparatus includes a cooling water pipe that is placed within a condensing duct to condense humidity contained in a circulating air current. The latent heat generated from the condensation of humidity causes the temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water pipe to rise. A thermoelectric pump mechanism collects heat from the higher-temperature cooling water and uses it in heating the circulating air.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a tub, a door, and a drying device disposed outside the tub. The drying device includes a condensing duct that faces an outer surface of the tub, that is in fluid communication with an inlet port defined at the tub, and that extends in a vertical direction and a first direction intersecting the vertical direction, and a fan configured to cause a flow of air in the condensing duct. The condensing duct includes an upstream portion in fluid communication with the inlet port, a downstream portion that is in fluid communication with the upstream portion and includes a bent portion disposed below the upstream portion, and a rib that is disposed inside the bent portion and extends across the bent portion, where the rib protrudes in a second direction that intersects the vertical direction and the first direction.
