Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for determining a final residual humidity in a condensation dryer and to a condensation dryer suitable for said method. The invention relates in particular to a method for operating a condensation dryer and a condensation dryer particularly suitable for carrying out the method, having a process air channel in which process air is moved in a circuit by means of a blower, a drum having laundry items placed therein, and having a control device, wherein a heat exchanger for condensing water from moist, hot process air and at least one humidity sensor are arranged in the process air channel.
Background
The drying process according to the condensation method involves evaporating moisture from the laundry items by means of hot process air and dehumidifying the process air by condensation on a heat exchanger. In this case, the cold process air is generally guided through the heating device by means of a blower during the drying process. The hot process air then enters the drum as a drying chamber containing the laundry items to be dried. Here, the hot dry process air receives moisture from the laundry items. The now moist, hot process air is then conducted further from the drum into a heat exchanger for dehumidification, for example into an air-air heat exchanger or into an evaporator of a heat pump. The hot and humid process air is cooled in this heat exchanger or evaporator, wherein the water contained in the process air is condensed and collected in a so-called condensate basin, which is generally located below the heat exchanger. On reaching a certain liquid level, the condensed water is pumped, usually by means of a pump (also referred to as "condensate pump"), into a container for intermediate storage (also referred to as "condensate container") or into a drain channel.
The drying process is generally divided into three stages, namely a heating stage, a main drying stage and a cooling stage. During the heating phase, the process air temperature rises until a predefined temperature value is reached. As the temperature increases, the process air may receive more water from the laundry items, thereby also condensing more water on the heat exchanger used for cooling. If a predefined temperature value is reached, the process air generally receives a uniform quantity of water from the laundry items in the drum. That is to say the condensation of water also remains constant. This section is referred to as the steady state or main drying stage of the drying process. The change in evaporation or condensation is steady state as long as surface water is evaporated from the laundry item. This increasingly requires more time and energy if the evaporation eventually translates into evaporation of the fine pore or capillary water in the fabric of the clothing article. The evaporation and thus the subsequent condensation in the heat exchanger therefore take place more slowly. This phase is also referred to as the non-steady-state phase, because the amount of water condensed per unit time decreases. The drying process (also called "drying program") ends with a cooling phase in which the heating means are normally switched off and in which the dried laundry is cooled.
The determination of the load of the drum over the laundry items should preferably be carried out during the drying process, in order to be able to adapt the drying process to the load, since different amounts of laundry items behave differently.
The drying process is preferably carried out such that a certain final residual humidity of the dried laundry items is reached. The degree of wetness is generally inferred from a measurement of the resistance of the article of clothing. For this purpose, different numbers of electrodes are usually arranged at different positions in the dryer. The resistance of the laundry is measured by means of these electrodes by a direct current or alternating current method. When the predetermined resistance of the laundry is the so-called off value of the heating device, in particular for the process air, the drying process is usually ended. However, these off-values are related to the load amount and the initial humidity of the laundry items (also referred to as "initial residual humidity" of wet laundry items from the washing machine) because the relative humidity of the process air must be greater for a greater load amount, for example, when the humidity is the same. It should furthermore be taken into account that, in the case of a large initial humidity, it is possible to continue for a longer time until drying of the interior of the laundry items is also achieved. In order to carry out the drying process in an improved manner, therefore, method steps for determining the starting state, that is to say in particular the load and the initial humidity of the laundry items, are often carried out. Based on such information, a matching of the turn-off limit can now be performed. So-called window methods are also known which bring a plurality of measurement parameters, such as energy, in particular the total energy consumed up to now for drying, electric power, temperature and elapsed time, into correlation with one another in order to improve the prediction accuracy.

Against this background, the task of the invention is to: an improved method for controlling a drying process in a condensation dryer is provided. The determination of the final residual humidity and thus the evaluation criterion for the end of the drying process should therefore preferably be improved. Furthermore, the task of the invention is: a condensation dryer suitable for use in the method is provided.
The object is achieved according to the invention by a method for operating a condensation dryer and a condensation dryer suitable for this method. A preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention corresponds to a preferred embodiment of the condensation dryer according to the invention and vice versa, even when this is not explicitly determined here.

The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor used are not restricted as long as the temperature or the relative humidity of the process air can be measured by them. However, the following sensors are advantageously used: the temperature and the relative humidity of the process air can be measured simultaneously by the sensor.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, therefore, a dual sensor is used as temperature sensor and as humidity sensor, which dual sensor is capable of simultaneously measuring the temperature T of the process airPAnd relative humidity HRelative to each other。

Preferably, a triple sensor is used as pressure sensor, by means of which the relative humidity H can also be measured simultaneouslyRelative to each otherAnd said temperature TP。
The drying process in a condensation dryer is also influenced in particular by the air flow of the process air, since the size of the air flow also determines: how long a certain amount of air can come into contact with the wet laundry items.
In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the air flow a of the process air is therefore a flow of airPIs regulated or measured and is taken into account for determining the predetermined residual humidity RW Given aWherein the air flow A stored in the control device is utilizedPAnd the residual humidity RW Given aThe relationship between them. The rotational speed or the power consumption of the process air blower can be regarded as an air flow a for the process air in this casePIs measured. Of course, the actual air flow of the process air can also be measured by the flow measuring device and then also can be regarded as the air flow a of the process airP。
The degree of wetness of the laundry items, that is to say the humidity or the residual humidity, varies during the drying process, since the surface water is evaporated first and the pore water or capillary water is evaporated last from the fabric of the laundry items. The variation of the moisture level during the drying process is different depending on the humidity of the laundry items and the type of fabric at the beginning of the drying process, and therefore a continuous and accurate determination of the moisture level is advantageous for laundry-conscious and energy-efficient drying of the laundry items, and for an accurate control of the final residual humidity, for example "iron drying", in respect of a predefined value.
The drying process is thereby influenced by the proportion of surface water and water present inside the laundry items, wherein the latter are removed from the laundry items only relatively slowly. Thus. The drying process is also related to the load through the laundry items.
For a predetermined residual humidity RW Given aIn any case advantageously, the load of the drum through the laundry items and/or the initial humidity of the laundry items may be taken into account.
In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the load W of the drum over the laundry items is therefore taken into account for determining the predefined residual humidity RW Given aWherein the load W and the residual humidity R stored in the control device are utilizedW Given aThe relationship between them.
The load and/or the initial humidity can be set by the user or preferably determined by the dryer. Different approaches are possible for this. The load amount required here relates to the drying quality of the laundry items to be dried which are brought into the drum. However, the laundry items have a moisture content of, for example, about 60% with respect to the drying quality of the laundry items after the washing process and the dehydration at 1200U/min at the beginning of the drying process. In addition, different loadings appeared to be different during the drying process. Thus, for example, the drying process at full load may be extended compared to the drying process at half load. The duration of the various stages that are experienced in the drying process may also vary.
According to the present invention, the manner of determining the load W of the drum through the laundry items is not limited. Thus, the load may be determined, for example, by input from a user. However, the load of the drum is typically determined by the dryer, for example by weighing the drum and/or by evaluating the motor current and/or the electrical power of the electric drive motor. Preferably, the load is determined by evaluating the motor current and/or the electrical power of the electric drive motor. The dependency of the motor current on the load of the electric drive motor can be used for determining the load state of the drum if, for example, the power emitted at the electric drive motor remains constant. In particular, it is possible here to track the current change over a predetermined period of time, for example when the drum is running at high speed. In this case, the load can be inferred via the dependence of the electric drive motor torque on the drum load state and on the basis of the dependence of the torque on the motor current.
Of course, the method according to the invention also enables, in a preferred embodiment, the determination and consideration of the load through the laundry items and/or the initial humidity of the laundry items.
In the method according to the invention, these properties of the laundry items can advantageously be determined by determining the maximum value of the absolute water load. Here, the type of the clothing item and thus the type of the fibers can also be advantageously taken into account.
Alternatively or additionally, the absolute water load L may also be determinedWThe point in time at which the maximum of (a) occurs. In this embodiment, a time measuring device which is ubiquitous in condensation dryers is used. Furthermore, it is preferred that a relationship between the load through the items of clothing and the point in time of the maximum water load is stored in the control device.
Thus, according to the invention, a method is preferred in which the measurement is carried out in the condensation dryer until the water load L is reachedWMaximum value of (L)W Maximum ofElapsed time period Δ tMaximum ofAnd said time period is analyzed in terms of the load W of the drum through the laundry items. In general, the control device stores a time period Δ tMaximum ofAnd the load W of the drum through the laundry items.
Furthermore, it is preferred according to the invention that the water load L is applied in terms of the load W of the drum through the laundry itemsWMaximum value of (L)W Maximum ofPerforming an analytical treatment, wherein different initial humidities L are utilizedW Start ofThe roller load W and the maximum value L stored in the control deviceW Maximum ofThe relationship between them.
Furthermore, the subject matter of the invention is a condensation dryer with a process air channel in which process air is moved in a circuit by means of a blower, a heating device, a drum with laundry items placed in the drum, and a control device, wherein a heat exchanger for condensing water from moist hot process air and at least one humidity sensor are arranged in the process air channel, and wherein the control device is provided for carrying out a drying process, which drying process comprises the following steps:
(a) measuring the relative humidity H of the process air by means of the humidity sensorRelative to each other;
(b) Measuring the temperature T of the process air by means of a temperature sensorP;
(c) Taking into account said temperature TPBy the relative humidity HRelative to each otherDetermining the absolute water load L of the process airWWherein the maximum water load L stored in the control device is utilizedW Maximum ofAnd said temperature TPThe relationship between;
(d) tracking the water load LWA change in time;

(f) Comparing the residual humidity RWWith a predetermined residual humidity RW Given a(ii) a And
(g) at or below the predetermined residual humidity RW Given aThe drying process is ended.
According to the invention, a condensation dryer is preferred in which a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are arranged in the process air channel before the drum and/or after the drum.
Preferably, a triple sensor is used as temperature sensor and as humidity sensor, except for the temperature TPAnd the relative humidity HRelative to each otherIn addition, the pressure P of the process air can also be measured by the triple sensorP。
In general, in the condensate dryer according to the invention, the condensate pump is arranged in the condensate basin or in a condensate channel connected to the condensate basin. The condensate pan is generally connected via so-called condensate channels to a container for intermediate storage of condensate, that is to say a condensate container, or to a drain line for draining off condensate. Since the condensate basin is usually arranged in the floor module of the condensation dryer and the condensate is removed from the condensate basin against the force of gravity, a condensate pump is preferably arranged in the condensate basin or in the condensate channel in the condensation dryer according to the invention.
The condensation dryer according to the invention has a heating device, in particular an electric heating device or a gas heating device, wherein an electric heating device is preferably used. The heating device serves to heat the process air before it is introduced into the drum of the condensation dryer.
For conveying the process air, the condensation dryer furthermore has a blower in the process air duct, which blower is also referred to herein as a process air blower.
In the condensation dryer according to the invention, which is in particular designed as a circulating air dryer, at least one heat exchanger for dehumidifying the moist, hot process air is present. This is generally achieved by cooling the hot and humid process air. Heat exchangers generally utilize a cooling medium, such as cool air or a coolant, for dehumidifying the process air.
The heat exchanger is in particular an air-air heat exchanger or a heat sink of a heat pump, in particular an evaporator.
A heat pump is characterized here by two heat exchangers, namely a heat sink, in which heat is received, a heat source, in which heat is emitted, and a pump device, which can transport heat from the heat sink to the heat source in the event of a temperature change. In condensation dryers equipped with a compressor-type heat pump, the cooling of the hot process air loaded with moisture takes place substantially in a heat sink, also called evaporator, of the heat pump, where the transferred heat is used for evaporating the refrigerant circulating in the pump device configured as a circuit. The refrigerant evaporated as a result of the heating is supplied in the pump device via the compressor of the heat source, which is the liquefier for the refrigerant, to the heat pump, where the heat is released as a result of the liquefaction of the gaseous refrigerant. After the liquefier, the liquid refrigerant is then depressurized in a throttle valve of the pump device, whereby its internal pressure is relieved and finally returned to the evaporator.
In the condensation dryer according to the invention, preferably the evaporator of the air-air heat exchanger or of the heat pump is located in the process air channel. If an air-air heat exchanger is used, a cold air duct is preferably present in the air-air heat exchanger, through which relatively cold air is guided, in particular from the installation space of the dryer as a cooling medium, by means of a cold air blower.
The condensation dryer according to the invention is in particular a laundry dryer or washer-dryer. Here, the washing and drying machine is a combined appliance having a washing function for washing laundry and a drying function for drying wet laundry.
The condensation dryer advantageously has visual and/or audible display means for different states of the condensation dryer. For this purpose, a visual display device is preferably used. The display device may give information about the operation of the dryer, for example by outputting text or by illuminating differently colored light emitting diodes, for example about the absolute water load L of the laundry itemsWAnd/or residual humidity RWInformation about the load amount, the phase of the drying process, for example the heating phase, the steady-state phase, the non-steady-state phase or the remaining operating time of the drying process.
The method and the condensation dryer according to the invention have a number of advantages. The advantages of the invention are in particular: the desired residual humidity of the laundry items can be adjusted in an improved manner during the drying process, so that the end of the drying process can also be carried out in an optimized manner. In this case, in the embodiment of the invention, the laundry properties such as load and humidity can be determined and taken into account in an accurate manner by evaluating the temporal changes in the absolute water load of the process air during the drying process. The operation through the various stages of the drying process and in particular the control of the drying process to reach a predetermined residual moisture content of the laundry items is possible in embodiments of the invention for any individual loading of the drum through the laundry items. The method according to the invention and the condensation dryer according to the invention thus allow a drying process to be carried out individually, energy-efficiently and with a view to clothes, in accordance with the requirements of the user.
After the heating phase, which is related to the load and the initial residual humidity, the drying process is generally in a steady state. The relative humidity of the process air at the drum exhaust may rise to 100%. The two water loads, i.e. before and after the drum, have a maximum value. The difference of these two water loads then decreases as the drying duration increases as a measure of the water reception of the process air due to the laundry drying. The relationship between the degree of dryness of the laundry, that is to say the residual humidity and the difference in water load, can then be used as a good criterion for the shut-down of the heating device for the process air and thus for the end of the drying process. The shutdown evaluation criterion is generally dependent on the load and the process air volume flow, but is almost independent of the initial residual humidity, these influencing factors being taken into account in the embodiment of the invention.
Drawings
Further details of the invention are explained below with reference to fig. 1.
Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through a dryer configured as a condensation dryer, wherein the arrows show the flow direction of the process air. Other embodiments are contemplated.
Detailed Description
The dryer 1 shown in fig. 1 has a drum 3 which is rotatable about a horizontal axis for receiving laundry items to be dried, not shown here, and in which a driver 5 for moving the laundry items during rotation of the drum is mounted. The process air is guided in the process air duct 2 through the drum 3 by means of a process air blower 6 via an air-air heat exchanger 14 and an electric heating device 4. The air heated by the electric heater 4 is guided into the drum 3 from behind, that is to say from the side of the drum 3 opposite the door 12, through the perforated base by means of the drum inlet 19.
After being discharged from the drum 3, the process air laden with moisture flows through the filling opening of the drum 3 through a fluff screen 11 inside a door 12 closing the filling opening. The process air flow in the door 12 is then diverted downwards through the drum outlet 18 into the process air duct 2 and is guided to the air-air heat exchanger 14, through which the cold air in the cold air duct 15 can be conveyed by means of the cold air blower 16. A greater or lesser portion of the moisture received by the process air from the laundry items condenses in the air-air heat exchanger 14 due to the cooling and is collected in the condensate basin 17.
The control of the dryer 1 takes place via a control device 8, which can be adjusted by a user via an operating unit 7. The two triple sensors 9, 10, namely the triple sensor 9 at the drum output 18 and the triple sensor 10 at the drum input 19, are connected to the control device 8. The triple sensors can each measure the relative air moisture, temperature and air pressure of the process air and can thus provide the measured values which are necessary for the method according to the invention and the preferred embodiments of the method, so that the residual humidity of the laundry items and in particular also the load of the drum 3 on the laundry items can be determined. Here, the condensation dryer also has a measurement device 20.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, process air blower 6 and drum 3 are driven by a drive motor 13. The drive motor 13 is a brushless direct current motor (BLDC) in this embodiment. Here, the drum is decelerated strongly, for example in a ratio of 1: 55, while the process air blower is not decelerated, but rather is driven by a drive motor in a ratio of 1: a speed ratio of 1.
The display means enable the remaining operating time of the drying process, for example ironing drying, to be displayed in terms of the remaining humidity value selected by the user, or the sought load or the remaining state of the dryer or the status of the drying process to be displayed, for example in a color-different form.
