WATER-BEARING DOMESTIC APPLIANCE
A water-bearing domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine. The appliance may include a hydraulic circuit and a stationary screening apparatus which has a screening face, which is arranged in the hydraulic circuit, for filtering recirculated washing water. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the screening face is formed so as to generate transverse flows which are directed transverse to the passage-flow direction of the screening face.

11 . A water-bearing domestic appliance, comprising:
a hydraulic circuit; and
a screening apparatus including a screening face arranged in the hydraulic circuit and structured to filter recirculated rinsing water, wherein the screening face is operable to create transverse currents directed transversely to a throughflow direction of the screening face.
12 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the screening face includes at least one of raised sections and indentations extending in the throughflow direction.
13 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the screening face is shaped as at least one of a cylinder and a conical outer surface.
14 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least one of raised sections and indentations of the screening face include seamless transitions as undulations.
15 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the undulations run in parallel to one another.
16 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 14 , wherein vertex lines of the undulations run in parallel to an inflow direction of the screening face.
17 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the screening face includes a plurality of holes with differing hole geometries.
18 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the holes narrow conically.
19 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed in claim 17 , wherein a hole density of the screening face varies in an inflow direction.
20 . The water-bearing domestic appliance as claimed claim 11 , wherein the screening face is structured to be cleaned by backflushing.
