Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washer-dryer with a tub for holding washing liquid, in which a driven by a motor drum is rotatably mounted, and with a drying device with a process air duct for providing process air for drying the laundry, a blower for generating the process air, an air Heating register and a condensation channel into which fresh water can be sprayed to extract moisture from the process air by condensation.
  • a laundry dryer comprises a process air channel which extends from the tub into the front drum area, comprises a fan, a heating device and a condensation device.
  • the fan generates a process air stream, which is heated through the interior of the drum, wherein the moisture from the laundry enters the process air.
  • a tumble dryer is known in which the process air is dehumidified with a desiccant.
  • a complex channel and flap arrangement is necessary to carry out the adsorption process for dehumidifying the process air and the desorption process for dehumidifying the drying agent. Further, it has become shown that a significant proportion of the heat energy supplied during the desorption process must be led out of the device as heat loss, since moist air can not be used here.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a washer-dryer, in which the energy consumption is reduced or the effectiveness of the operation is improved.
  • the essential advantage of the method according to the invention is that the energy balance is improved in a simple manner in a combined washing-drying cycle or alone drying cycle.
  • the process air duct comprises a desiccant unit provided with adsorptive drying means, through which the process air can flow.
  • the process air flows through the desiccant unit so that the desiccant removes or binds moisture out of the process air that has previously passed through the interior of the drum.
  • the moisture bound therefrom was removed from the drying agent by heating.
  • the waste heat is used here to heat the laundry in the drum during the washing phase, so that no or very little waste heat is dissipated unused into the environment.
  • the properties of the drying agent can thus be used optimally in the operation of a washer dryer.
  • the desiccant consists of zeolites in granulated or pebble form with a particle size in the range from about 1 to 6 mm in diameter. This can be incorporated in a desiccant unit of almost any shape and is safe to operate.
  • the desiccant consists of an open-pored, mineral or ceramic material in granulated form or pebble-shaped with a particle size in the range of about 1 to 6 mm in diameter.
  • open-pore plastic material in granular or pebble-shaped with a particle size in the range of about 1 to 6 mm in diameter can be used.
  • a mixture of the respective materials for tuning the properties is also possible.
  • a monolithic, open-pore shaped body can also be used.
  • the washer-dryer in the process air duct has an additional, separately controllable air-heating coil for heating the drying agent for

  • the desiccant unit is arranged in a bypass air duct formed as a bypass of the process air duct, wherein by means of closure devices at least a portion of the process air flow can be made accessible by the desiccant unit.
  • the drying process can be continued in a conventional manner, if after a portion of the drying phase, the drying agent is saturated with moisture.
  • the washer-dryer comprises an additional separate secondary air duct functioning as a process air duct, from which a first end opens into the tub or at the lower end of the condensation duct and a second end in the front drum compartment, and the auxiliary air duct is provided with a fan for providing the Process air stream and the heating coil Provide a desorption process to remove moisture from the desiccant.
  • a portion of the process air in the secondary air duct can be generated by means there existing, during the washing phase in the secondary air duct, a hot air flow is generated in the opposite direction to the drying agent heat to dissipate the moisture bound in the drying agent in the tub or interior the drum. The moist, hot air is thus used in the desorption process for the washing process for heating the washing liquid.
  • the channel end opening into the suds container or into the condensation channel is provided with a device for preventing water from entering the secondary air channel. This prevents that in the tub or in the condensation channel resulting liquid enters the drying unit and unnecessarily increases the moisture content of the drying agent.
  • the blower is adapted to convey the process air in a first direction and also to convey the process air in the opposite direction in order to apply the desiccant with heated air to provide the desorption process.
  • a single blower can be used both for the adsorption process, ie for generating the dry process air and for the desorption process, ie for applying hot air to the desiccant.
  • the heating device of the drying unit is connected downstream, during the desorption process, when the air flow against the Flow direction of the process air stream flows, the heater of the drying unit is connected upstream.
  • An additional fan or complex and space-consuming deflections for the process air duct or the secondary air duct are not necessary.
  • the condensation channel is designed to temporarily store a portion of the washing or rinsing liquid which can be heated during the desorption process. As a result, only a portion of the washing or rinsing liquid is heated during the desorption process, wherein additionally washing or rinsing liquid can be supplied through the cooling water inlet into the condensation channel of the washing phase or rinsing phase.
