Abstract: Disclosed is a laundry treatment apparatus, which directly heats a drum accommodating laundry and is enhanced in efficiency and safety. The laundry treatment apparatus includes a tub, a drum formed of a metal material and rotatably provided inside the tub to accommodate laundry, an induction module spaced apart from a circumferential surface of the drum to heat the circumferential surface of the drum via a magnetic field that is generated when current is applied to a coil, a lifter provided in the drum to move the laundry inside the drum when the drum rotates, a temperature sensor provided to sense a temperature of the drum, and a module controller configured to control an output of the induction module so as to control an amount of heat generated from the circumferential surface of the drum. The module controller controls the amount of heat based on the temperature sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a laundry treatment apparatus configured to condense moisture by supplying cooling water to the interior of a tub containing laundry therein. The laundry treatment apparatus includes a tub, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, a cooling water port provided at the inner rear surface of the tub so as to be adjacent to the inner side surface of the tub in order to supply cooling water along the inner side surface of the tub, and a guide rib formed so as to protrude from the inner side surface of the tub in a radially inward direction of the tub and to extend from the cooling water port toward the front side of the tub in order to disperse the cooling water supplied from the cooling water port on the inner surface of the tub. The apparatus is capable of reducing energy consumption and improving drying performance.
