ParticipantI’ve heard that The latest Bosch/Siemens dishwashers use volcanic rocks to aid drying. They call it “Zeolith energy efficient drying” but can anyone explain how it works?

Nicked from t’internet
Dishwasher and Washer Dryer with Zeolite Technology
Zeolite adsorption technology can be used as an open system in a dish washer or washer dryer (= washing machine and dryer in one), thereby contributing to savings in energy. That is because the dishes or the washing do not need to have a high temperature for drying – as was the case up to now – when they are dried by means of dry, warm air that circulates through a zeolite sorber.During the pre-wash cycle in a dishwasher, the zeolite sorber desorbs (is baked out) and the water vapour that comes out of the zeolite is transferred to the dishes along with a part of the perceivable heat. This results in energy recovery. After rinsing, the dishes are dried at a low temperature in a airstream that circulates through the zeolite sorber. Dishwashers with zeolite technology are ranked in the category A+++.
Zeo-Tech GmbH has developed an innovative, energy-efficient process and applied for a patent. In this process, the zeolite is prepared during the pre-wash cycle with a very low energy requirement and in a very short time. This process allows very low cost implementation of the zeolite drying method in a dishwasher.

A+++ wow, should appeal to the greenies then. 😆
It would be nice if one of the Bosch lads could explain how the system is implemented then. Intriguing stuff volcanic rock, has many uses from scrubbing my scaly peds to turning up the heat in the sauna. I never imagined using the stuff to dry the dishes!

So low temperature pre-wash + low temperature wash + low temperature drying = high energy efficiency?
But low temperature wash = poor sterilisation and over time smelly washer? Seen that before somewhere?
