Abstract:
A washing method of a water treatment apparatus is provided. The washing method includes a wash water inflow operation in which wash water flows into circulation members, and a circulation washing operation in which a circulation modulation circulates the wash water through passages of the water treatment apparatus.
Abstract:
A washing device for a water treatment apparatus is provided. The washing device includes circulation members connected to passages of the water treatment apparatus to circulate wash water through the passages of the water treatment apparatus, a circulation module connected to the circulation members for circulating the wash water through the passages of the water treatment apparatus, with the circulation members thereby washing the passages of the water treatment apparatus, a drainpipe connected to the circulation members, a passage switching unit connected to a portion where the circulation members are coupled to the drainpipe to switch passage of the wash water, and a circulation pump connected to the circulation members to selectively circulate the wash water in the connection pipes through the drainpipe or the passages of the water treatment apparatus.
Abstract:
A water purifier is provided. The water purifier includes a purified water tank for storing purified water, a hot water tank including a heater for heating the purified water supplied from the purified water tank, a purified water supply pipe connecting the purified water tank and the hot water tank to supply the purified water of the purified water tank to the hot water tank, a purified water supply valve opening or closing the purified water supply pipe, a manipulation unit through which a user inputs an extraction amount of hot water, a memory unit for readably storing an opening time of the purified water supply pipe depending on an amount of purified water to be supplied to the hot water tank, and a control unit setting the extraction amount of hot water to the amount of purified water to be supplied to the hot water tank when the extraction amount of hot water is inputted through the manipulation unit, reading the opening time of the purified water supply pipe corresponding to the amount of purified water to be supplied to the hot water tank from the memory unit, and opening the purified water supply pipe during a specified opening time.
Abstract:
An evaporator for an ice maker includes an evaporator body having a refrigerant flow path formed therein; a dipping member connected to the evaporator body, for a refrigerant having a temperature lower than a freezing point of water to flow in the refrigerant flow path to generate ice in a state in which at least a portion of the dipping member is submerged in water; a heater having at least a portion inserted into the refrigerant flow path, and directly or indirectly heating at least one of the refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path, the evaporator body, and the dipping member to separate the ice generated on the dipping member from the dipping member; and a connection member connecting the evaporator body and the refrigerant flow path to be connected to a refrigeration cycle, and inserting the at least a portion of the heater into the refrigerant flow path.
