    Abstract: A washing machine comprises a tub in which a drum is rotatably mounted, and a storage tank having a flow connection to the tub via a feeding line provided with a discharge pump and a three-port valve adapted to drive the flow to a drain or to the storage tank, rinsing fluid being stored in the storage tank for subsequent reuse. The washing machine further comprises an automatic valve connected to a drain line downstream the three-port valve and to an overflow line downstream the storage tank, said automatic valve being provided with means for avoiding any mixture of flows in the different configurations of the washing machine cycles.

    Abstract: An appliance air/water handling system includes a rotating drum, airflow and fluid paths for directing process air and fluid, respectively, therethrough. First and second heat exchangers are in direct engagement with the airflow and fluid paths, respectively. A reversible refrigerant circuit delivers refrigerant through the first and second heat exchangers to alternatively define washing and drying conditions. In the washing condition the first heat exchanger cools the process air into cooled process air, and the second heat exchanger heats the fluid to define a heated fluid that is directed into the drum. In the drying condition the first heat exchanger heats the process air to define heated process air that is directed through the drum and through a third heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger cools the fluid to define a cooled fluid that is directed to the third heat exchanger intersect with the heated process air.

    Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a blower that directs process air along an airflow path. A condensing heat exchanger heats the process air to define heated process air. A drum receives the heated process air to dry laundry. A pump directs fluid along a fluid path. An evaporating heat exchanger cools the fluid to define a cooled fluid. A refrigerant circuit directs a refrigerant between the condensing and evaporating heat exchangers. A shower area in which the cooled fluid is showered through the heated process air after the heated process air exits the drum to wash particulate matter out of the heated process air. The pump directs the fluid towards the evaporating heat exchanger in order to cool the fluid, and directs the cooled fluid to the shower area.
