Abstract:
A household laundry-drying machine comprising a drum rotatable about an axis of rotation and defining a laundry drying compartment, said drum comprising a substantially cylindrical peripheral wall which surrounds the laundry drying compartment, at least one laundry-agitation member associated to the cylindrical peripheral wall and protruding internally to the laundry drying compartment, an air heater for drying the laundry, and a conduit for conveying the air from the air heating means to the laundry drying compartment.The laundry-agitation member comprises a cavity in fluid communication with the laundry drying compartment, said cavity being suitable for containing at least one substance to be delivered in the laundry drying compartment during a drying cycle. The cavity of the laundry-agitation member is external to said means for conveying the air.
Abstract:
A system of gas burners for a cooktop includes a pair of concentric burners made up of an outer burner having a first cup and a first flame divider and an inner burner having a second cup and a second flame divider. The first and second flame dividers having respective first and second apertures to allow an air-gas mixture to escape and positioned to extend parallel to a vertical axis of the burners. The first cup includes a first Venturi element for supplying an air-gas mixture to a first chamber of the first cup. The second cup includes a second Venturi element for supplying an air-gas mixture to a second chamber of the second cup. The first and second Venturi elements are positioned horizontally along respective first and second axes, the first axis being located on an outside of an inner wall of the first cup.
Abstract:
A washing and drying machine has a treatment tub and comprises: a washing circuit for drawing liquid from the tub and conveying it back into the tub, having a pump and means for heating the liquid; a drying circuit for extracting air from the tub and conveying it back into the tub, having a first fan, means for dehumidifying the air, and means for heating the dehumidified air; and a heat-pump arrangement having a refrigerating circuit for a refrigerant fluid, which includes a first condenser, a first evaporator, a first lamination valve, and a compressor. The means for heating the liquid comprise the first condenser, and the refrigerating circuit further comprises a second condenser, in series to the first condenser, and a second evaporator. The means for dehumidifying the air comprise the second evaporator, and the means for heating the dehumidified air comprise the second condenser.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a freezing phase in a single-control combined type refrigeration appliance, includes turning on a compressor and monitoring a refrigerator temperature of a refrigerator compartment and an evaporator temperature of an evaporator associated with the refrigerator compartment and an adjacent freezer compartment. If the refrigerator temperature is greater than an upper refrigerator threshold, a fan in fluidic communication between the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment is turned on until said refrigerator temperature is less than a lower refrigerator threshold, whereupon said fan is turned off. If the evaporator temperature is less than a lower evaporator threshold, said fan is turned on. If the evaporator temperature is greater than an upper evaporator threshold and the refrigerator temperature is less than the lower refrigerator threshold, said fan is turned off. The method further includes deactivating said freezing phase after a given time has elapsed following said activation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a suction device (103) for a hood (101), comprising a motor, and further comprising an impeller driven by the motor and configured to draw an air flow and direct it into an outflow collar (203); the suction device (103) further comprises at least one flap (204, 205) connected to the collar (203) and hinged (301) on one side only, the at least one flap (204, 205) being configured to close the collar (203) when the impeller is idle, and to be lifted by the air flow so as to clear the collar (203) when the impeller is rotating.
