    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A vented heat pump dryer, comprising: an outer drum, an air-intake drying air duct and an air-exhaust drying air duct for allowing communicating the outer drum with outside respectively. The dryer is also provided with a heat pump system. A condenser of the heat pump system is arranged in the air-intake drying air duct, and an evaporator is arranged in the air-exhaust drying air duct. The air-exhaust drying air duct comprises at least two branches capable of being controlled to open and close. Each branch is provided with a corresponding evaporator. At different drying stage, the dryer makes exhaust air stream flow through different branches independently or at the same time, so that can adjust the working states of the heat pump reasonably and increase the drying efficiency of the dryer.

    摘要: An apparatus containing a smart washer and dryer capable of using water to clean clothes is disclosed. The apparatus, in one embodiment, includes a washing drum, washing sensor, center control gate, and dryer drum. The washing drum is structured in a cylindrical shape capable of holding water for cleaning or washing clothes with a repetitive motion. The washing sensor senses the end of or completion of washing phase associated with the washing drum and generates a wash completed signal. The dryer drum which is situated adjacent to the washing drum has a washing drum access (“WDA”) door wherein the WDA door is capable of opening allowing the dryer drum to receive washed clothes from the washing drum via the center control gate based on the wash completed signal. The dryer drum is able to dry the washed clothes by extracting moisture from the washed clothes.

    摘要: A laundry dryer is provided with a modular air recirculation subassembly fitted beneath a rotatable drum of the dryer. The subassembly has an air recirculation passage provided between an air supply passage and an air exhaust passage of the dryer. The air recirculation subassembly further has a flow directing flap at the juncture of the air inlet passage and the air recirculation passage to direct the recirculation air flow toward a heater and away from an inlet end of the air supply passage. The air recirculation subassembly may include a filter positioned across the air recirculation passage upstream of the heater, which filter is removable through the air exhaust passage. The subassembly may further include a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the warmer air exiting the exhaust passage to the cooler air entering the air supply passage, and a recirculation air flow regulating flap.

    摘要: Example dryers and washer-dryers having a closed process air circuit having a drum, a condenser downstream from the drum for dehumidifying warm moist air, and a thermoelectric device having a cold side arranged in the process air circuit downstream from the drum are disclosed. Example thermoelectric devices have a warm side cooled by a fluid which is circulated in a liquid/air heat exchanger arranged in the process air circuit downstream from the condenser. Using the disclosed architectures, appliance design can be simplified without decreasing overall system performance.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are a clothes dryer and a control method thereof in which a drying time is adjusted according to wool content during a drying cycle of a wool course. Wool content of woolen textiles is judged by sensing a dryness of the woolen textiles during a drying cycle of a wool course, and a drying time is adjusted according to the wool content, thereby minimizing contraction or deformation of the woolen textiles while satisfying the range of a target dryness set by wool mark standards. Further, only a high-capacity heater is driven during the drying cycle of the wool course, thereby allowing an internal temperature of a rotary drum to keep the optimum temperature without contraction or deformation of the woolen textiles.
