A laundry treating apparatus may include a cabinet, a drum rotatably installed in the cabinet, a heat exchanger disposed in the cabinet and receiving air from the drum, and a cleaning device disposed in the cabinet and moved by an external force in a first direction to remove lint accumulated on the heat exchanger. The lint may be simply removed from the heat exchanger and air may smoothly flow through the heat exchanger, thus improving performance of the laundry treating apparatus.

Disclosed is a clothes dryer having a heat pump, the clothes dryer capable of enhancing energy efficiency by recovering waste heat to the maximum in correspondence to a capacity of the heat pump, capable of enhancing reliability by preventing overheating of a compressor and a heat exchange means, and capable of shortening drying time. The clothes dryer includes a body, a tub rotatably installed in the body, a suction duct installed at the body, and configured to suck external air and to supply the external air into the tub, an exhaustion duct configured to exhaust air having passed through the tub to outside of the body, and a heat pump having a heat exchange means for recovering waste heat by heat-exchanging air passing through the exhaustion duct, wherein part of the air exhausted via the exhaustion duct is heat-exchanged with the heat exchange means of the heat pump.

A heat pump type dryer is provided that enhances supercooling performance using condensation water. The circulation type heat pump dryer may include a cabinet, a drum, a drying duct that circulates dry air, an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor and an expansion apparatus. The condenser may include a first condenser that liquefies a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant circulated from the compressor, and a second condenser that condenses the refrigerant condensed by the first condenser again. The second condenser may be formed below a condensation water level, the condensation water being accumulated at a lower portion of the drying duct, below the first condenser, to cool the second condenser using condensation water chilled by the evaporator.

A laundry treating apparatus may include a drum that receives laundry item therein, a heat pump that circulates a heating medium, a compressor that compresses the heating medium, a condenser that heats air to be transmitted to the drum, an expander that expands the heating medium, and an evaporator that cools air transmitted from the drum. A heater may re-heat air heated by the heat pump, and a sensing device may sense a state, such as temperature, of the heating medium. A controller may calculate energy efficiency based on the sensed state of the heating medium. Energy related information including the calculated energy efficiency may be displayed on a display so that energy efficiency may be monitored real time.

A dryer is provided. The dryer may include an expansion valve that may be varied in response to changes in operation mode. The dryer may be a condensation type heat pump dryer, and, in an operation method thereof, the expansion valve may be varied according to an on/off of a solenoid valve corresponding to a selected operation mode. In a first operation mode the heater may be turned on so that heating is supplied by both the heat pump and the heater to provide for rapid drying. In a second operation mode the heater may be turned off to provide for more economical operation. By employing multiple operation modes, a required refrigerant flow rate may be controlled.

The present invention relates to a dishwasher. The dishwasher of the present invention may include a sump for holding cleaning water, a cleaning pump for pumping the cleaning water from the sump, a spray arm for spraying the cleaning water through two or more nozzles, a supply flow passage for forming a flow passage to supply the cleaning water pumped by the cleaning pump to the spray arm, and an air mixing unit for drawing external air to spray the cleaning water through the nozzles together with the air. The air mixing unit may be mounted between the nozzle which sprays the cleaning water and an inlet of the supply flow passage connected to the spray arm, or the end of the supply flow passage connected to the spray arm. Accordingly, the washability of the dishwasher can be improved without increasing the amount of water used.
