Abstract: A dishwasher includes a tub, a door, and a drying device configured to supply air to a washing space in the tub. The drying device includes a condensing duct disposed outside the tub, a cold air supply module that is disposed outside the tub and defines a heat exchange flow path part adjoining the condensing duct, and a fan configured to cause air flow in the condensing duct. The condensing duct includes an upstream portion communicating with the inlet port and extending above the inlet port and then downward, and a heat exchange portion connected to the upstream portion and extending downward to the heat exchange flow path part. A height of an upper end of the heat exchange flow path part is equal to or larger than a height of a lower end of the inlet port.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a tub, a door, and a drying device configured to supply air to a washing space in the tub. The drying device includes a drying duct that is disposed outside the tub and includes a condensing duct and a return duct, a fan configured to cause a flow of air in the drying duct, and a heater configured to heat the air in the drying duct. The condensing duct includes a first condensing duct connected to an inlet port configured to receive moist air from the washing space, and a second condensing duct disposed vertically below a bottom portion of the tub and connected to the first condensing duct. The return duct includes a return upstream end connected to the second condensing duct and a return downstream end connected to an outlet port configured to supply air to the tub.

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 distribution cap is configured to couple to a nozzle of a dish washer and to guide air from the nozzle to be discharged in a discharge direction. The distribution cap includes a fitting pipe configured to couple to the nozzle, a first bypass pipe that is connected to the fitting pipe and extends in a direction different from the discharge direction, where the first bypass pipe is configured to be positioned above the nozzle based on the fitting pipe being coupled to the nozzle, and a second bypass pipe that extends from an end portion of the first bypass pipe in the discharge direction, where the second bypass pipe defines a discharge opening at an end portion thereof.
