Abstract

L'invention concerne un sèche-linge à condensation (1) présentant un canal à air de processus (2), un tambour (3) destiné à recevoir le linge, un échangeur de chaleur (5,15) pour la condensation de l'eau de l'air de processus chaud et humide, un dispositif de commande (10), au moins un capteur de température (27, 28, 29, 30) et un dispositif (11, 20, 32) pour déterminer la quantité d'eau condensée dans l'échangeur de chaleur. Au moins un capteur de température (27,28,29,30) est disposé dans le canal de milieu de refroidissement (24) et/ou dans le canal d'air de processus (2) et le dispositif de commande (10) est conçu pour déterminer une charge du tambour (3) par le linge à l'aide d'une évolution dans le temps de la température mesurée à l'aide dudit au moins un capteur de température (27, 28, 29, 30) et d'une évolution dans le temps de la quantité d'eau condensée. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé approprié pour le fonctionnement de ce sèche-linge.
