Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clothes dryer with heat pump and additional heat exchanger.
  • a clothes dryer with heat pump usually has a rotating drum for receiving the laundry to be dried.
  • the drum is arranged in a process air circuit.
  • heated process air is passed through the drum, then the air is cooled to remove water, reheated and returned to the drum.
  • a heat pump cycle is provided, in which a medium through a condenser, a throttle body (expansion valve), an evaporator and a compressor is fed back to the condenser. With the evaporator, the process air is cooled to remove their water, and with the condenser, it is then reheated.
  • an additional heat exchanger is arranged to extract heat to the system.
  • the drum has a horizontal axis of rotation, and the process air passes through the drum from back to front.
  • the additional heat exchanger is an air-to-air heat exchanger, which is designed to dissipate process air heat to the ambient air.
  • an additional heater is arranged in the process air circuit with which the process air can be heated. With such additional heating, the device can be heated faster at the beginning of the process, and / or at least part of the process can be carried out at a higher temperature.
  • the process air circuit is designed to guide the process air from the front to the back through the additional heat exchanger. This allows the process air exiting the drum at the front to be routed directly and in a short path to the inlet of the additional heat exchanger.
  • the additional heat exchanger In order to dissipate the heat of the additional heating, the additional heat exchanger must be relatively large. Therefore, the question arises as to how the additional heat exchanger is to be accommodated in the device.
  • the additional heat exchanger is arranged below the drum.
  • the additional heat exchanger is arranged above the drum.
  • the additional heat exchanger is attached to the back of the device.
  • back and front are defined by the direction of the flow of process air in the drum.
  • the process air passes through the drum axially (ie parallel to the horizontal axis of rotation) from the back to the front, ie the air is primarily from the back and the air outlet is primarily against the front of the drum.
  • Designations of the type “above”, “below”, “above”, “below” refer to the intended mounting orientation of the device.
  • a component A is arranged “below” (or “above” a component B, it is to be understood that at least a part of the component A is vertically below (or above) the component B.
  • the tumble dryer after Fig. 1 has a drum 1 for receiving the laundry to be dried. It is provided a process air cycle (which in Fig. 1 shown by solid lines), in which heated process air passed through the drum 1, then cooled and then reheated and fed back into the drum 1.
  • an additional electric heater 9 is provided, which allows the process air to selectively supply heat, e.g. when starting the device, or it can be used to raise the temperature level in the process air circuit generally.
  • the blower 10 is used for pumping the process air.
  • a heat pump cycle is provided (the path of the pumped by the heat pump cycle medium in Fig. 1 shown with dotted lines).
  • the medium is conveyed by a compressor 2 to a condenser 3, then via a throttle body 5, for example in the form of capillaries or an expansion valve, to an evaporator 6 and then back to the compressor 2.
  • the evaporator 6 serves to cool the process air and In this way, water is withdrawn while the condenser 3 serves to reheat the process air so that it can absorb new water.
  • an additional heat exchanger 4 is provided in the process air cycle. As mentioned above, it serves to extract heat from the process air cycle. In particular, he should dissipate the heat output of the additional heater 9 and the power loss of the heat pump. Preferably, it is arranged between the drum 1 and the evaporator 6, since it can extract water there from the air at the same time.
  • the additional heat exchanger 4 is an air-to-air heat exchanger, which is traversed on the one hand by the process air and on the other hand by ambient air, wherein the process air and the ambient air are preferably spatially separated and can not mix.
  • a fan 7 with which the ambient air is passed through the additional heat exchanger 4 in order to cool it.
  • the extracted from the additional heat exchanger 4 the process air circulation heat output is determined by the speed of the blower 7.
  • This speed is determined by a controller 8 of the device, depending on at least one temperature in the heat pump cycle and / or process air cycle.
  • a temperature sensor 11 is arranged in the heat pump cycle.
  • the controller is configured to control the speed of the fan 7 in response to the signal from the temperature sensor 11, e.g. by operating the blower 7 with greater power as the temperature rises.
  • the fan can be turned on only when the temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • the speed of the fan 7 is increased by the controller 8 with increasing temperature continuously or at least in several steps.
  • the temperature-dependent activation of the blower 7 makes it possible, for example when starting the tumble dryer, to supply energy to the process air cycle very quickly, so that the process temperature is reached quickly, but then in normal operation overheating of the heat pump cycle is prevented.
  • the temperature of the running medium in the heat pump cycle is determined where this temperature corresponds approximately to the condensation temperature of the medium. This is the case between capacitor 3 and throttle member 5, or the output side of the capacitor 3 or the input side of the throttle body. 5
  • FIG. 2 A first arrangement is in Fig. 2 shown. As can be seen, this approximately cuboid housing 14 of the device, which has a front side 15, a back side 16, perpendicular vertical side surfaces 17, an upper side 18 and a bottom 19.
  • the drum 1 is arranged with its horizontal axis of rotation 20.
  • the axis of rotation 20 is perpendicular to the front and back 15 and 16, respectively.
  • the components of the heat pump, and in particular the evaporator 6 and the condenser 3 and the compressor 2 are arranged below the drum 1 in the device base. Also, the additional heat exchanger 4 is located below the drum 1 in the device base. The arrangement of these heavy components below the drum 1 leads to a stable state of the device.
  • the additional heat exchanger 4 is located below the evaporator 6 and the condenser 3. In this position, it is easily accessible for cleaning.
  • the fan 10 and the auxiliary heater 9 are the fan 10 and the auxiliary heater 9 and there is a riser 21 is provided, in which the process air from the fan 10 and the auxiliary heater 9 to the back of the drum 1 is performed.
  • the process air flows through the drum 1 from the back 16 to the front 15 and thereby runs approximately parallel to the rotation axis 20.
  • the air then enters a channel in the door (not shown), and is then passed along the front down to the additional heat exchanger 4.
  • the process air is passed in the direction of the front side 15 to the rear side 16 through the additional heat exchanger 4. From there, the process air is then fed into a channel 22 again against the front side 15 to the evaporator 6.
  • the process air passes through from the front side 15 to the rear side 16, first the evaporator 6 and then the condenser 3, from where it again reaches the fan 10 on the rear side 16.
  • the ambient air from the fan 7 conveyed horizontally and transversely to the flow direction of the process air through the additional heat exchanger 4, ie the ambient air is guided from one side surface 17 to the other.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second possible arrangement, which differs from that according to Fig. 2 distinguished by the fact that the evaporator 6 and the condenser 3 are now arranged lower than the additional heat exchanger 4.
  • the additional heat exchanger 4 is located below the drum 1, between the drum 1 and the evaporator 6 and the capacitor. 3
  • FIG. 4 Another arrangement, in which the additional heat exchanger 4 is located below the drum 1, is in Fig. 4 shown.
  • the additional heat exchanger 4 is arranged horizontally next to the evaporator 6 and the condenser 3.
  • the process air at the front 15 of the unit is guided down to the additional heat exchanger. It passes through the additional heat exchanger 4 in the direction from the front side 15 to the rear side 16 and is then guided again in the channel 22 back to the front and to the evaporator 6.
  • the arrangement of the additional heat exchanger 4 horizontally next to the evaporator 6 and capacitor 3 gives a good thermal decoupling by 4 rising from the condenser 3 and additional heat exchanger 4 hot air cooling in the evaporator 6 does not affect.
  • the additional heat exchanger can be left and right of the evaporator and condenser.
  • the process air from the drum 1 is guided upward along the front side 15, enters the additional heat exchanger 4 from the front side and passes through it in the direction of the rear side 16.
  • the process air then enters a first channel 26 on the rear side 16 of the device. in which it is guided by the additional heat exchanger 4 down.
  • the first channel 26 may be located inside the device (ie, in front of the back wall) or outside the device (ie, behind the back wall), as shown in FIG Fig. 5 is indicated by a dashed variant 26 '.
  • the first channel 26 goes below the drum 1 in a second channel 27, in which the process air to the front 15 of the device and to the inlet of the evaporator 6 is guided.
  • the process air from the drum 1 is first led upwards and then in a first air channel 28 towards the back and into the additional heat exchanger 4. It passes through the additional heat exchanger 4 against the front side 15 and then enters a second air channel 29, which is arranged on the front side 15 of the tumble dryer. In the second air channel 29, the process air from the additional heat exchanger 4 is guided down to the evaporator 6.
  • the first air channel 28 extends in the cavity between the drum 1 and an upper edge of the tumble dryer.
  • the exiting from the front of the drum 1 process air is introduced through a first channel 30 which extends in the cavity between the drum 1 and an upper edge of the tumble dryer against the back in the upper end of the additional heat exchanger 4. Then, the air is passed from above to the bottom through the additional heat exchanger 4 and then enters a second channel 31, through which it passes to the front 15 of the device and then enters the evaporator 6.
  • a tumble dryer which has a drum 1 with a horizontal axis of rotation 20 and a heat pump with an evaporator 6 and a condenser 4.
  • the process air exits the drum 1 against the front 1 of the device (For front loaders usually in a running through the door channel) and is passed down, for example, to then enter the additional heat exchanger 4.
  • the additional heat exchanger 4 is an air-to-air heat exchanger in which the process air is cooled.
  • the process air exits to the rear from the additional heat exchanger 4 and is then led to the front of the device and there to the evaporator 6. Thereafter, the air passes through the condenser 3, a blower 10 and an additional heater 9 back to the drum 1.
  • the additional heat exchanger 4 is advantageously arranged below the drum 1.
  • the arrangement variants described are characterized by a very compact design.
