Definitions
- Clothes dryers are typically machines expressly dedicated to that purpose, or else they may be machines carrying out both washing and drying processes, in which case they are usually called “washing/drying machines”.
- ventilation means are turned on during said cooling step in order to promote forced convection to cool the laundry, further increasing energy consumption.
- the present invention aims at solving these and other problems through a method in accordance with the appended claim 1.
- this is accomplished by controlling the air heating device as a function of a parameter indicating the residual humidity of the laundry being treated. In this manner it is possible to change the air temperature so that the drying action is effective throughout the cycle, thus preventing the above-described problems from arising.
- Fig. 1 shows a diagram of the present method as a function of time, temperature and resistivity.
- said method provides for controlling the quantity of heat supplied to the laundry in the drum by setting operating parameters of an air heating device.
- the target temperature is established in a manner such that it changes as a function of the degree of humidity of the laundry in the drum.
- the detection of the degree of humidity of the laundry may occur in many different ways, all known in the art.
- the conductivity sensor can be schematised in this example as a capacitor with its terminals in contact with the laundry: the capacitor's discharge time is inversely proportional to the degree of humidity of the laundry; by knowing the capacitor's discharge time, one can easily deduce the resistivity (which is inverse thereto), shown by line 2 in Fig. 1.
- the electric resistor control causes the detected temperature 1 to follow the trend of the target temperature 3.
- T ob Tj-K* (cond att -condj)
- T ob is the target temperature value
- Tj is the initialisation temperature value (which will be discussed hereafter),
- K is a constant which takes into account the conversions of the units of measure
- cond att is the conductivity value measured in each step of the algorithm (inverse to resistivity in the same conditions)
- condi is the conductivity value measured at the start of the drying cycle (inverse to resistivity in the same conditions).
- Tj (initialisation temperature) is chosen so as to correspond to the value of the temperature detected at the beginning of the drying cycle.
- the algorithm is used several times during the laundry drying cycle, e.g. every time the resistivity is measured, so as to have a continuous trend.
- the heating elements are controlled as a function of the difference between the target temperature and the measured temperature of the circulating air, so that the quantity of heat supplied to the circulating air is such that the temperature of the latter will tend towards the value of the target temperature.
- the machine implementing the method discussed so far it will comprise at least one drum in which laundry can be placed to be subjected to a drying treatment, at least one humidity sensor for detecting the degree of humidity of the laundry, at least one temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the air circulating within the drum, at least one control unit connected to the humidity and temperature sensors and adapted to control one or more heaters in a manner such as to cause the circulating air temperature to tend towards a target temperature value calculated by the control unit as a function of the degree of humidity detected by the humidity sensor.
