Bosch dishwashers have something they call a “heat pump” that is a water pump that also heats the water with resistance heat. It’s not any more efficient than the normal heating coils in every other dishwasher, and it isn’t a “heat pump” that uses a refrigeration cycle (as one would use to e.g. heat their house).

Heat exchangers are used for drying, they don't have heating coils for drying.
