  • BLDC-driven compressors To vary an energy consumption of the heat pump, it is known to use BLDC-driven compressors and to vary a speed of the BLDC-driven compressor, i.e. a rotational speed of the BLDC motor driving the compressor.
  • BLDC-driven compressors have the disadvantage that they are expensive and use additional components like an inverter.

  • JP 2013 132417 A discloses a clothes dryer that includes: a process air channel for applying drying air blown from a blower fan from a heat sink to a radiator of a heat-pump device to guide the air to a rotary drum; resistance detection means for detecting a resistance value of clothing in the rotary drum; dryness degree detection means for detecting a degree of dryness of the clothing by using the resistance detection means; temperature detection means for detecting the temperature of a coolant flowing in a pipeline of the radiator; and control means for controlling the heat pump device and others.
  • the control means performs ON/OFF control of a compressor on the basis of the information from the temperature detection means and dryness degree detection means, sets a delay period from an event of the dryness degree detection means detecting a predetermined degree of dryness to ending of the drying operation, and ends the drying operation when the On time of the compressor reaches the set delay period.
  • DE 11 2013 004377 T5 discloses a clothes dryer which is provided with: a heat pump device; a drum drive motor for rotationally driving a rotating drum; and a blower for supplying warm air heated by the heat pump device into the rotating drum.
  • the clothes dryer is also provided with: a circulation air flow path for conducting drying air, which is delivered by the blower, to the rotating drum after causing the drying air to flow from a heat absorber to a heat radiator; and a state detection unit for detecting the state of the heat pump device.
  • the clothes dryer is further provided with: a control unit for controlling drying operation; and a drive output reduction unit for reducing drive output to the drum drive motor.
  • the control unit has a drive output reduction unit for reducing the drive output of the rotating drum and performs the on-off control of a compressor on the basis of the output of the state detection unit.

  • This clothes drying apparatus gives the advantage that in the first mode of operation a particularly fast drying can be achieved ("speed mode”) while in the second mode of operation a particularly energy-saving drying can be achieved (“eco mode”).
  • the modes of operation may be selected by a user and/or may be automatically selected by the clothes drying apparatus.
  • the energy-saving effect of the second mode of operation is achieved by not operation the AC rotary compressor in its switched-off state. Then, thermal inertia of the condenser and the evaporator still allows clothes to be dried in the switched-off state. If the drying effectiveness in the switched-off state falls under a pre-determined level, the compressor is switched on again. Therefore, the alternative switching on and off of the AC rotary compressor achieves a reduction of the total energy consumption during a drying cycle.
  • the clothes drying apparatus gives the further advantage that it can be more cost-effective than using a BLDC-driven compressor. While BLDC-driven compressors have a higher efficiency, they are also more expensive and need additional components like an inverter electronic to be operated.

That the control unit is adapted to open the expansion means may include opening the expansion means or keeping the expansion means open. In analogy, that the control unit is adapted to close the expansion means may include closing the expansion means or keeping the expansion means closed. It is advantageous that the expansion means is an expansion valve.

  • a process air channel e.g. an open-loop or closed-loop process air channel.
  • the condenser may act as a heater for process air flowing through the process air channel while the evaporator may act as a cooling device to cool down the process air.
  • the arrangement and working principle of heat pumps for a clothes drying apparatus is generally known and will thus not described in greater detail.
