Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dryer with a heat pump and a water container comprising an electrode and a process for its operation.
  • the invention relates in particular to a dryer with a drum for laundry items to be dried; a process air circuit, wherein heated process air is moved by means of a blower above and through the laundry items to be dried; a heat pump circuit comprising an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser; a water container for the collection of water condensed at the evaporator, the water container being in contact with at least one electrode and an electric pump for pumping water out of the water container, wherein the electric pump is adapted to start pumping when at least one of the electrodes senses its contact with water in the water container; and a control unit comprising a clock for measuring the time elapsed during a drying process.
  • the sensor might measure for example temperature, temperature difference, relative humidity, electrical resistance or conductivity, capacitance, near infrared radiation (NIR), radar-microwaves.
  • NIR near infrared radiation
  • NIR near infrared radiation
  • Only a few of them are commercially available and implemented in the market such as electrical resistance measurement, capacitance, autodry.
  • all these solutions look for a variable that is directly related to the water content of laundry items to be dried and deliver a signal to show the end of the drying process.
  • clothes dryers are used as exhaust air or circulating air dryers.
  • air (so-called "process air”) is led by means of a blower over a heating device and into a drum containing wet clothes as a drying chamber.
  • the hot air takes up humidity from the clothes to be dried.
  • exhaust air driers the air which is loaded with humidity is upon exiting the drum in general led out of the dryer with no heat energy being recovered.
  • process air is moved in a circle. Circulating air dryers are thus generally designed as condensation dryers.
  • Condensation dryers whose function is based upon the condensation of evaporated humidity from clothes do no require a tube for exhausted air and allow the recovery of energy from the heated process air, for example by using a heat pump. Condensation dryers are very popular, because they can be used in bathrooms which are located inside an apartment or laundries of larger living complexes.
  • a loss of energy can be reduced significantly.
  • the cooling of the warm humid process air is effected mainly in the evaporator of the heat pump, where the heat energy transferred is used for evaporating the refrigerant utilized in the heat pump circuit.
  • the refrigerant of the heat pump which evaporated due to the heating is led through a compressor to the condenser of the heat pump, where heat energy is set free on account of the condensation of the gaseous refrigerant. This heat energy is used for heating the process air before it is introduced into the drum.
  • liquid water is formed in the evaporator and can be collected and/or led away in various ways.
  • the condensed water from the evaporation can be conducted to a draining pump to be pumped to a drainage system out of the dryer.
  • the condensed water can however also be collected in a reservoir, and, once it reaches a certain level, pumped out or into another container with a corresponding pump.
  • One possibility of detecting the level of water is by means of electrodes which provide a signal once the water in the reservoir reaches the electrodes.
  • the publications EP 3187652 A1 and EP 3252211 A1 each describe a method for controlling a heat pump laundry drying machine, wherein the drying machine comprises an outdoor textiles drying procedure for drying outdoor textiles.
  • outdoor textiles have a waterproof and breathable thin film material with a micro-porous structure.
  • the method involves detecting a signal indicative of the humidity of the outdoor textile.
  • the step of detecting a signal indicative of the humidity of the outdoor textile includes inter alia the detection of a level and/or the temporal gradient of a level of water removed from the outdoor textile to be dried and collected in a water container. If for example the level of water does not increase for a given time interval, reasonably it means that there is no more water to be removed from the textile in the drum and that the textile is thus substantially dry. It is also disclosed that the number of activation of a pump driving water removed from the textile contained in the drum to a container may also be representative of the laundry humidity status within the drum.
  • the dryer allows a better assessment of the water content in laundry items to be dried and of the change in the humidity of the laundry items to be dried.
  • the invention is thus directed to a dryer with a drum for laundry items to be dried; a process air circuit, wherein heated process air is moved by means of a blower above and through the laundry items to be dried; a heat pump circuit comprising an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser; a water container for the collection of water condensed at the evaporator, the water container being in contact with at least one electrode and an electric pump for pumping water out of the water container, wherein the electric pump is adapted to start pumping when at least one of the electrodes senses its contact with water in the water container; and a control unit comprising a clock for measuring the time elapsed during a drying process; wherein the control unit is adapted to measure and register time periods ⁇ t i , wherein i is an integer from 1 to n, during the drying process in which the electric pump is not running between pumping steps of a preset duration ⁇ t op and to analyze the measured time periods ⁇ t i with respect to the development of the
  • the drum is usually rotatable around a horizontal or vertical axis, preferably a horizontal axis.
  • water must not be interpreted too narrowly in that it refers essentially to an aqueous liquid with essentially consists of water.
  • n will depend on the progress of the drying process and depend especially on the intended level of humidity remaining in the laundry items to be dried.
  • the control unit is adapted to stop a drying process when the time periods ⁇ t i increase with time such that a time period ⁇ t i is equal or larger than a preset time period ⁇ t i setmin .
  • a time period ⁇ t i is equal or larger than a preset time period ⁇ t i setmin .
  • the preset time period ⁇ t i setmin will depend on the intended final humidity of the laundry items, and also of the amount of laundry items to be dried. In general, the preset time period ⁇ t i setmin will be larger if a less humid final state of the laundry is desired. In a typical drying process, desired final states might be for example the dryness levels "iron dry", "wardrobe dry” or "bone dry". They would then in general correspond to different values of the preset time period ⁇ t i setmin .
  • the water container might have different shapes and have different volumes.
  • the water container might be for example a cylindrical or a cubic shape.
  • the water container will have in its height direction the same cross-section.
  • the water container is tapered.
  • the cross-section in the water container will decrease in its height direction. Water arriving from the evaporator will thus lead to a faster increase of the water level in the water container. In this manner, the determination of the time periods ⁇ t i can be made more often and the accuracy of the entire evaluation of the drying process can be increased.
  • a height position of the at least one electrode in the water container is adjustable. In this manner, the start of the pump can be prolonged by increasing the height position of the at least one electrode. This might perhaps be useful in the case of very wet and/or many laundry items to be dried.
  • the dryer thus contains a system for measuring the load with laundry items to be dried.
  • the system is not limited as long as the load can be determined.
  • the electric current for the rotation of the drum could be evaluated or the weight of the laundry items could be determined by means of a balance.
  • the control unit is adapted to set the values of the preset duration ⁇ t op in dependence of the load with laundry items to be dried. Namely, if a large amount of water is to be removed from the laundry items, it might be useful to have larger time periods during which the pump will work. This might decrease the frequency of On and Offs of the pump during drying phases during which it is not necessary to closely observe the drying process.
  • the values of the preset duration ⁇ t op can be set differently for different phases in a drying process.
  • a dryer is moreover preferred, wherein the control unit is adapted to set the values of the preset duration ⁇ t op in dependence of the type and/or material of the laundry items to be dried. In this manner, the different speeds at which laundry items might release the water contained therein might be accounted for.
  • the volume of the water container is adjustable to the load with laundry items to be dried. This would allow to account for different loads and humidity levels of the laundry items without detrimental effects on the accuracy of the evaluation of the measured time periods.
  • the preset time interval ⁇ t op is set smaller when a time period ⁇ t i is smaller than a preset minimum time period ⁇ t i setmin .
  • the control unit is adapted to measure the electric conductivity I between the two electrodes and to sense a contact with the water in the water container once the electric conductivity I has reached a given value I set .
  • the electric pump and the at least one electrode are preferably formed as a one-piece pump-electrode-system that is placed in an upper part of the water container.
  • a one-piece pump-electrode-system has the advantage that it is compact. It is however also possible in the dryer of the present invention that the electric pump and the at least one electrode are formed as separate parts.
  • the dryer of the present invention is preferably a washer-dryer comprising a lye container in which a rotable drum is placed.
  • a refrigerant in the heat pump circuit is preferably selected from the group consisting of butane, propane, a butane-isopropane mixture, carbon dioxide and a fluoro hydrocarbon compound.
  • the dryer of the present invention comprises in the air process channel an additional heating, preferably an electrical resistance heating, for heating process air. This might help to heat the process air if necessary.
  • an additional heating preferably an electrical resistance heating
  • the invention is moreover directed to a process for operating a dryer with a drum for laundry items to be dried; a process air circuit, wherein heated process air is moved by means of a blower above and through the laundry items to be dried; a heat pump circuit comprising an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser; a water container for the collection of water condensed at the evaporator, the water container being in contact with at least one electrode and an electric pump for pumping water out of the water container, wherein the electric pump is adapted to start pumping when at least one of the electrodes senses its contact with water in the water container; and a control unit comprising a clock for measuring the time elapsed during a drying process; wherein the control unit is adapted to measure and register time periods ⁇ t i , wherein i is an integer from 1 to n, during the drying process in which the electric pump is not running between pumping steps of a preset duration ⁇ t op and to analyze the measured time periods ⁇ t i with
