Definitions

  • the present invention relates to washers/dryers, and in particular to a washer/dryer in which a fan acts also as secondary condensing unit to speed up the drying of the laundry at the end of the washing cycle.
  • a fan creates an air stream in the circuit and a resistor heats the air circulating in said circuit.
  • an electrovalve is opened to admit condensing water into a condensing duct, where the condensing water is kept in suspension by the suction created by the fan.
  • the fan receives partially cooled and dried air that is heated again by the resistor and returned to the tank.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a washer/dryer which overcomes said drawbacks.
  • This object is achieved by means of a washer/dryer in which the fan acts as secondary condensing unit by operating as a heat exchanger thanks to a cooling jacket.
  • Other advantageous features of the present washer/dryer are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • the main advantage of the present washer/dryer is that of achieving in the fan the condensation of the residual moisture contained in the air coming from the condensing duct, so as to improve the condensing effectiveness. This results in a reduction of the drying time, with a subsequently lower power consumption.
  • Another significant advantage of this arrangement comes from its structural compactness that allows to achieve the above-mentioned improvement in effectiveness without affecting the overall size of the machine and with only a minimum increase in manufacturing cost.
  • the drying circuit conventionally includes a centrifugal fan F connected to a condensing duct C where the stream of moist air, coming from the tank through an air entrance AE, flows in a direction opposite to the condensing water CW introduced in duct C through a relevant water entrance WE.
  • a resistor R with a relevant safety thermostat T, is arranged downstream from fan F in a return duct H to heat air prior to returning it to the tank, while the water condensed in duct C is conveyed to the drain pump through a bottom drain D.
  • fan F is provided with an external cooling jacket CJ that encloses it at least partially.
  • Said cooling jacket CJ is provided with a water inlet WI and a water outlet WO so as to create a water circulation (indicated by the arrows) that cools the external wall E of fan F.
  • the novel aspect of the present invention consists therefore in said wall E acting as a heat exchanger on which the residual moisture condenses, and is then discharged through a relevant condensate drain CD.
  • fan F performs its function of secondary condensing unit exploiting the normal motion imparted to the air to have it make contact with the wide exchange surface E.
  • the only increase in power consumption is given by the pump (not illustrated) that circulates water in the cooling jacket CJ, but the reduction in the drying time that results in a decreased operating time of fan F and resistor R more than makes up for that increased consumption.
  • fan F could also not be of the centrifugal type and the cooling jacket CJ could therefore be not on the outside but formed as an internal interspace.
