The area of the water collection part is formed to be larger than the area of a pump installed in the water collection part.
Abstract:
A burner for a gas cooker that includes a burner port defining an interior area, the burner port including an opening to the interior area; one or more tubes that are coupled to the burner port and that are configured to provide mixed gas to the interior area of the burner port; a heating element that is configured to cover the opening of the burner port and that is heated by gas-generated heat; and a shielding plate that (i) is coupled between the heating element and the burner port, (ii) is configured to cover a first portion of the opening of the burner port, and (iii) is configured to spread mixed gas that is provided from the one or more tubes into the interior area of the burner port.
Abstract:
A laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet defining an external appearance of the apparatus and a base, a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet, a driver provided in the base to rotate the drum, a duct fastened to the base to form a circulation passage communicating with the drum, a heat pump having a heat exchanger provided in the circulation passage to heat air, and a discharge unit to discharge water generated by the heat exchanger. The base includes a water collection chamber that is configured to collect the water generated by the heat exchanger and has discharge surfaces having different inclined angles, thereby guiding flow of condensate water, and a discharge hole that is located adjacent to the water collection chamber and configured to communicate with the water collection chamber such that water guided by the at least one discharge surface is discharged through the discharge unit.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine. The laundry treatment machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a casing; a door attached to the casing; a washing tub disposed inside the casing; a heating unit; a blower for supplying to the washing tub; a temperature detector for detecting a temperature of the washing tub; a motor for rotating the washing tub; a driving unit for driving the motor; and a controller to control the blower to operate in a first drying mode, and to control the heating unit to intermittently output a first power during a first period after the operation of the blower while controlling an operating time of the heating unit to increase during the first period. Accordingly, the power consumption can be reduced while reducing the drying period in the drying mode.

Abstract:
A defrosting device includes a heating unit filled with a working fluid and including an active heating part heated to a first temperature that can evaporate the working fluid, and a passive heating part positioned at a rear side of the active heating part and heated to a lower temperature than the first temperature. The defrosting device also includes a heat pipe disposed adjacent to an evaporator to transfer heat to the evaporator while circulating working fluid heated by the active heating part, the heat pipe including an entrance portion configured to receive working fluid evaporated by the active heating part, and a return portion connected adjacent to the passive heating part and configured to receive working fluid that has condensed after circulating through the heat pipe. Condensed working fluid received at the heating unit first passes through the passive heating part before being reheated at the active heating part.
