摘要:
The tumble dryer, and method of drying clothes, includes means 16 for sensing ambient air humidity and temperature, air heater means 2, 9 and air circulation means 3, 8 to move air through the interior of the dryer drum 1 in a ducted circuit 7. The dryer also includes means 12, 13 to selectively vent the air to ambient, immediately upstream of the drum air temperature sensor means 4, downstream of the drum air temperature and pressure sensor means 5. A prediction means uses the upstream temperature and downstream temperature and pressure sensed to predict the saturation of the air exiting the drum to selectively switch from air recirculation to air venting mode when a preselected level of saturation of the air has been reached.
