Design of Air Break Nut Used in Dishwasher Based on Fracture Behavior

Abstract

Air break part used in dishwashers serves three main purposes. First, it measures the washing water by means of a flowmeter provided in the air break inlet. Second, it divides the washing water into two parts; one part is sent directly to the tub and the other part is sent to the water softening system. Third, static pressure needed in the salt-resin regeneration cycle is provided by the water filled into the air break tank. Air break part is assembled to the dishwasher tub using bolt and nut connection. During the assembly, crack initiation and propagation are observed in the air break nut. In this paper, mechanical behavior of the air break nut during the assembly is investigated by the structural and fracture analyses using the finite element method. Alternative designs for the air break nut are developed and compared with the current design in order to examine the effect of its design on the stress distribution and fracture behavior.
