Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a domestic washer-drier machine which provides for washing and drying the laundry.
  • Domestic washer-drier machines are known to comprise a support and housing structure, a washing tank being housed therein, which is provided with a front opening that can be closed by means of a porthole door that is hinged in front of the housing.
  • a basket is pivotally housed about a horizontal or inclined axis for the laundry to be accommodated therein to be washed and/or dried.
  • the basket also defines a front opening that is located such as to match the opening of the washing tank, in order to load/unload the laundry.
  • the washing tank is suitable to contain the washing liquid during the laundry washing steps, and to be a portion of the drying circuit during the laundry drying step.
  • a washing water delivery system is provided to be connected to the water system.
  • This washing water delivery system comprises a plurality of electrovalves which are suitable to selectively adjust the supply to a plurality of flow paths extending downstream of these electrovalves through respective compartments of a detergent tray to the washing tank.
  • a drain duct with a discharge pump being associated thereto On the bottom of the washing tank there is provided a drain duct with a discharge pump being associated thereto, which provides for the removal of the washing liquid from the tank and controls, together with the supply electrovalves, the liquid level within the tank.
  • an electric resistance is provided, which is arranged within the tank in the gap between the tank wall and the laundry basket.
  • the drying circuit of prior art washer-drier machines typically comprises a suction unit, a heat exchanger and a heating unit with electric resistances intercommunicating by means of a drying circuit.
  • the air flow generated by the suction unit is heated by the electric resistances and sent to the basket, where it flows through the wet laundry thereby causing the water contained in the fabric to evaporate.
  • the heat exchanger which is generally a container separate from the washing tank and provided with a spray nozzle, the wet air is cooled by a jet of cold water. Due to this cooling, the vapour condensates and is collected and discharged together with the cooling water. The de-humidified air is then sucked again by the suction unit and ricirculated.

  • the heat exchanger is arranged downstream of the laundry basket 5 (with reference to the direction of the drying air flow 22) and cools the wet air flowing from the basket 5.
  • vapour condensates and is collected and discharged, for example together with a cooling water volume.
  • the de-humidified air is then sucked again by the suction unit 17, 18 and ricirculated.
