Description

537 671 Kladestorktumlare med mekanism for luddffiterrengoring Tekniskt omrade Uppfinningen hanfor sig allmant till en torktumlare for torkning av fuktig tvatt, varvid torktumlaren ar en fristhende enhet eller i kombination med en tvattmaskin som innefattar en kladtvattningsfunktion. Mer speciellt hanfor sig uppfinningen till en forbattrad mekanism for luddfilterrengoring placerad inuti torktumlaren eller tvattmaskin / torktumlare kombinationsenheten. TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates generally to a dryer for drying moist laundry, the dryer being a free-standing unit or in combination with a washing machine comprising a scratch washing function. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved lint filter cleaning mechanism located within the dryer or washer / dryer combination unit.

Bakgrund Kondenstorktumlare innefattar en roterande trumma som kallas en tumlare, ett organ far varmning / kylning av luft och en ledning for tillforsel av processluft bland annat. Processluften kyls och ateruppvarms. Background Condenser dryers include a rotating drum called a tumbler, a means for heating / cooling air and a line for supplying process air, among other things. The process air is cooled and reheated.

En vanlig typ av kondens torktumlare har en varmevaxlare som anvander omgivningens luft for all kyla processluften och en elektrisk varmare for a' teruppvarmning. Den elektriska varmaren kunde cI6 ersattas av en varmevaxlare med varmvatten. En annan typ av kondens torktumlare anvander en varmepump dar forangaren kyler och kondenserar processluften och kondensorn 6teruppvarmer luften. A common type of condensate dryer has a heat exchanger that uses ambient air for all the cooling process air and an electric heater for reheating. The electric heater cI6 could be replaced by a heat exchanger with hot water. Another type of condenser dryer uses a heat pump where the evaporator cools and condenses the process air and the condenser 6 reheats the air.

Den varma processluften kanaliseras via processluftkanalen till tumlaren som innehaller den fuktiga tvatten. Den varma luften for6ngar fukten narvarande i tvatten och darefter hjalper till vid torkning av kladerna. Den avdunstade fukten interagerar med processluften och bar armed fukten. Fukten i luften extraheras som kondensation och darefter ateruppvarms processluften och matas tillbaka in i den roterande trumman. Denna kondensation eller uppsamlade kondensvatten kanaliseras och lagras i en tank anordnad i basplattan ps4 maskinen. En vattenpump anvands sedan for all pumpa kondensatet till en kondensvattentank i den Ovre delen av maskinen. The hot process air is channeled via the process air duct to the tumbler which contains the moist water. The warm air evaporates the moisture present in the water and then helps to dry the clothes. The evaporated moisture interacts with the process air and carried the armed moisture. The moisture in the air is extracted as condensation and then the process air is reheated and fed back into the rotating drum. This condensation or collected condensed water is channeled and stored in a tank arranged in the base plate ps4 machine. A water pump is then used to pump the condensate to a condensate tank in the upper part of the machine.

Kondensationen och uppvarmningen av processluften i kondens torktumlare forbrukar normalt mer energi an traditionella torkar, dar luften inte 1 537 671 atercirkuleras. Emellertid varmer spillenergin i kondens torktumlarna den omgivande luften i byggnaden dar torktumlaren är belagen, vilket akar den totala verkningsgraden hos maskinen. The condensation and heating of the process air in condensate dryers normally consumes more energy than traditional dryers, where the air is not recirculated 1 537 671. However, the waste energy in the condensate dryers heats the ambient air in the building where the dryer is occupied, which increases the overall efficiency of the machine.

Under torkningscykeln frigors sma fibrer fran klader pa grund av den tumlande verkan av maskinen. Dessa sma fibrer ar kanda som ludd eller fluff och är latt nog aft baras av processluften. Under kondensationsprocessen, är det vanligt aft ludd narvarande i processluften fastnar pa varmevaxlaren och andra delar av maskinen. Denna uppbyggnad av ludd kan skapa flera problem inuti maskinen sAsom igensattning av maskindelar, som orsakar paverkan pa funktion och prestanda hos maskinen. During the drying cycle, small fibers are released from clothes due to the tumbling action of the machine. These small fibers are known as fluff or fluff and are easily carried by the process air. During the condensation process, it is common for lead present in the process air to get stuck on the heat exchanger and other parts of the machine. This buildup of lint can create several problems inside the machine such as clogging of machine parts, which causes an impact on the function and performance of the machine.

Flera losningar har foreslagits for aft overvinna fenomenet med luddavsattning. En sadan losning beskrivs placeringen av ett luddfilter i banan av processluften for aft fanga ludd i luften. Vidare, kan luddfiltret placeras pa manga stallen i processluftkanalen sasom den punkt dar processluften biases ut fran torktumlaren. En annan losning som syftar till aft begransa luddavsattning är periodisk tvattning av ytan av varmevaxlaren genom sprayning av kondensatet pa varmevaxlaren. Several solutions have been proposed to overcome the phenomenon of lye deposition. Such a solution describes the placement of a lint filter in the web of the process air to trap lint in the air. Furthermore, the lint filter can be placed in many places in the process air duct as the point where the process air is diverted out of the dryer. Another solution aimed at limiting lint deposition is periodic washing of the surface of the heat exchanger by spraying the condensate on the heat exchanger.

Emellertid är de ovan namnda losningarna har manga nackdelar. Trots att flera luddfilter tillhandahalls, nar ludd fortfarande varmevaxlaren pa grund av lackage och dalig filtrering av filtren. Vidare, franvaron av en ordentlig mekanism for rengoring av filter eller beroendet av enbart manuell rengoring resulterar i aft filtren blir tilltappta och paverkar den totala effektiviteten av torktumlaren. Vid igensattning skapas ett stort tryckfall som i processluftkretsen och pumpning av luft genom mycket igensatta luddfilter blir mycket svart. However, the above mentioned solutions have many disadvantages. Although several lint filters are provided, lint still reaches the heat exchanger due to leakage and poor filtration of the filters. Furthermore, the absence of a proper filter cleaning mechanism or the reliance on manual cleaning alone results in the filters becoming clogged and affecting the overall efficiency of the dryer. During clogging, a large pressure drop is created which in the process air circuit and pumping of air through very clogged fluff filters becomes very black.

Vidare finns kanda losningar far kondens torktumlare med varmepump dar varmevaxlarna sprayas av med kondensat. Detta är inte heller sarskilt effektivt eftersom all ludd som är fast till varmevaxlaren inte tvattas bort ordentligt. Dessutom, da fallhojden far kondensatet till varmevaxlaren ar 2 537 671 begransad kan en ordentlig rengoringskraft inte uppnas. Dessutom är utformningen av varmevaxlaren mycket komplicerad eftersom den innefattar ett flertal kansliga komponenter sasom fenor och armed kan rengoring av varmevaxlaren ocksa orsaka skador pa dessa komponenter. There are also known solutions for condensate dryers with heat pumps where the heat exchangers are sprayed off with condensate. This is also not particularly effective as all the lint attached to the heat exchanger is not washed off properly. In addition, since the drop height of the condensate to the heat exchanger is limited to 2,537,671, a proper cleaning force cannot be achieved. In addition, the design of the heat exchanger is very complicated because it includes a number of sensitive components such as fins and arms, cleaning of the heat exchanger can also cause damage to these components.

Sammanfattning av uppfinning Andamalet med foreliggande uppfinning är darfor att astadkomma en kladestorktumlare med en ny och forbattrad automatisk reng6ringsmekanism. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a clothes dryer with a new and improved automatic cleaning mechanism.

Kladestorktumlaren enligt uppfinningen innefattar en roterande trumma och en sluten processluftkanal anordnad aft cirkulera processluften genom trumman. Torktumlaren innefattar en varmare eller forsta varmevaxlare anordnad aft varma processluften innan den kommer in i trumman och en andra varmevaxlare anordnad all kondensera fukt fran processluften sedan den har passerat genom trumman. Eft luddfilter är placerat i kanalen f6r aft avlagsna ludd fran processluften. Vidare innefattar torktumlaren en ackumulatortank anpassad aft samla kondensera vatten fran den andra varmevaxlaren och en vattenpump anordnad att pumpa vatten fran ackumulatortanken. The draft dryer according to the invention comprises a rotating drum and a closed process air duct arranged to circulate the process air through the drum. The dryer comprises a heater or first heat exchanger arranged by hot process air before it enters the drum and a second heat exchanger arranged to condense all moisture from the process air after it has passed through the drum. After the lint filter is placed in the duct to remove lint from the process air. Furthermore, the dryer comprises an accumulator tank adapted to collect condensing water from the second heat exchanger and a water pump arranged to pump water from the accumulator tank.

Den uppfinningsenliga kladestorktumlaren kannetecknas av aft vattenpumpen ar fluidmassigt forbunden med eft munstyckeorgan via en reng6ringskrets, varvid kretsen är anordnad aft Walla eft vattentryck som genereras av vattenpumpen och leda kondensvattnet fran pumpen till munstycksorganet for aft spraya kondensvatten pa luddfiltret. The clothes dryer according to the invention can be characterized in that the water pump is fluidly connected to a nozzle means via a cleaning circuit, the circuit being arranged by Walla according to water pressure generated by the water pump and directing the condensate from the pump to the nozzle means for spraying condensate water.

Den forbattrade rengoringsmekanismen far luddfiltret hanterar effektivt problemet med luddavsattning pa ytan av luddfiltret och salunda forhindrar aft ludd nar ytan hos den andra varmevaxlaren och andra delar av torktumlaren. Dessutom tillater det forbattrade rengoringsaggregatet att kondensatet sprayas ut vid ett Mgt tryck och darmed uppna en hogre mekanisk rengoring. Losningen är speciellt lamplig for torktumlare dar varmevaxlarna och / eller andra delar igensatta av ludd inte kan avlagsnas eftersom de är 3 537 671 anslutna till en kylkrets, en varmvattenkrets eller liknande. The improved cleaning mechanism of the lint filter effectively handles the problem of lint deposition on the surface of the lint filter and thus prevents lint from reaching the surface of the second heat exchanger and other parts of the dryer. In addition, the improved cleaning unit allows the condensate to be sprayed out at a high pressure and thus achieve a higher mechanical cleaning. The solution is particularly suitable for dryers where the heat exchangers and / or other parts clogged with lint can not be removed because they are connected to a cooling circuit, a hot water circuit or the like.

Namnda rengoringskrets innefattar eft styrelement och ett vattenfilter varvid styrelementet och vattenfiltret är anslutna till varandra och till pumpen och munstycksorganet via vattenledningar. Said cleaning circuit comprises a control element and a water filter, the control element and the water filter being connected to each other and to the pump and the nozzle means via water lines.

Vidare bestar styrelementet av en tvavagsventil anpassad all leda vattnet mot munstycksorganet eller till en kondensvattentank utanfor rengoringskretsen. TvAvags ventilen verkar for aft kontrollera mangden vatten som tillfors till filtret och overskottsvattnet omdirigeras till kondensvattentanken som är narvarande utanfor rengoringskretsen. Furthermore, the control element consists of a two-way valve adapted to direct all the water towards the nozzle member or to a condensate water tank outside the cleaning circuit. The TvAvags valve acts to control the amount of water supplied to the filter and the excess water is redirected to the condensate water tank which is present outside the cleaning circuit.

Vidare är vattenfiltret vasentligen forslutet for aft uppratthalla vattentrycket i rengoringskretsen och är ocksa borttagbart fran torktumlaren for att tillata anvandaren aft rengora den. Furthermore, the water filter is substantially sealed to maintain the water pressure in the cleaning circuit and is also removable from the dryer to allow the user to clean it.

Foretradesvis ar ackumulatortanken bildad i en basplatta av torktumlaren. Della mojliggor for en enkel och effektiv uppsamling av vatten eftersom tyngdkraften driver vattenflodet. Vidare overvinner detta arrangemang behovet av aft leverera nagon extra utrustning for insamling och kanalisering vattnet. Preferably, the accumulator tank is formed in a base plate by the dryer. Della possible for a simple and efficient collection of water because gravity drives the water flow. Furthermore, this arrangement overcomes the need to aft supply any additional equipment for collecting and channeling the water.

Vidare är munstycket anpassat aft spraya boil ludd uppsamlat pa luddfiltret, varvid kondensvatten med ludd draneras till ackumulatortanken. Furthermore, the nozzle is adapted to spray boil lint collected on the lint filter, whereby condensation water with lint is drained to the accumulator tank.

I en fordelaktig ufforingsform av denna uppfinning, är luddfiltret placerad fare den andra varmevaxlaren i flodesriktningen hos processluften sa aft ludd samlas in av luddfiltret innan luften nar den andra varmevaxlaren. Denna fordelaktiga placering av luddfiltret fore varmevaxlaren och andra delar exponerade f6r ludd resulterar i all filtret fungerar som en mekanisk barriar, och darmed hjalper till aft forhindra aft ludd nar den andra varmevaxlaren och andra delar vilket forhindrar efterfOljande luddavsattning och uppbyggnad. In an advantageous embodiment of this invention, the lint filter is placed in danger of the second heat exchanger in the flow direction of the process air so that lint is collected by the lint filter before the air reaches the second heat exchanger. This advantageous placement of the lint filter before the heat exchanger and other parts exposed to lint results in all the filter acting as a mechanical barrier, and thus helps to prevent lint from the other heat exchanger and other parts, which prevents subsequent lint deposition and build-up.

Foretradesvis kan luddfiltret avlagsnas fran torktumlaren vilket ar till hjalp vid 4 537 671 enkel manuell rengoring vid misslyckad sprayningsfunktion eller utbyte i handelse av omfattande skador. Vidare underlattar eft sadant arrangemang enkel rengoring overallt pa maskinen med hjalp av en krantvatt. Preferably, the lint filter can be removed from the dryer, which is helpful in 4,537,671 simple manual cleaning in the event of a failed spraying function or replacement in the event of extensive damage. Furthermore, such an arrangement facilitates easy cleaning everywhere on the machine with the help of a tap water.

Vidare bestar munstycksorganet av en lans med oppningar langs atminstone en kant av luddfiltret far aft vasentligen spraya vatten pa filtret langs hela kanten. Detta arrangemang sakerstaller att hela luddfiltret tvattas i en cykel. Furthermore, the nozzle means consists of a lance with openings along at least one edge of the lint filter which may substantially spray water on the filter along the entire edge. This arrangement ensures that the entire lint filter is washed in one cycle.

I en annan fordelaktig utforingsform av denna uppfinning, är luddfiltret elektriskt laddbart for aft kunna attrahera ludd fran processluften. Detta arrangemang utvecklar en statisk laddning i filterenheten och bidrar darmed till att locka ludd som finns narvarande i processluften. Vidare sakerstaller den statiska laddningen aven att ludd hailer fast vid filtret och inte flyger ivag av trycket fran den inkommande processluften. In another advantageous embodiment of this invention, the lint filter is electrically rechargeable so as to be able to attract lint from the process air. This arrangement develops a static charge in the filter unit and thus helps to attract fluff present in the process air. Furthermore, the static charge also ensures that lint attaches to the filter and does not fly away from the pressure from the incoming process air.

I en annan fordelaktig utforingsform av denna uppfinning, är atminstone ett ytterligare luddfilter placerat i processluftkanalen for att underlatta korrekt 15 avlagsnande av ludd fran processluften. In another advantageous embodiment of this invention, at least one further lint filter is placed in the process air duct to facilitate proper removal of lint from the process air.

Kort beskrivning av ritningarna I foljande avsnitt kommer uppfinningen aft beskrivas i storre detalj med hanvisning till utforingsformer som visas med bifogade figurer. Det bar understrykas aft de visade utforingsformerna enbart anvands som exempel 20 och skall inte anvandas far aft begransa omfattningen av uppfinningen. Brief Description of the Drawings In the following sections, the invention will again be described in greater detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying figures. It should be emphasized that the embodiments shown are used only as Example 20 and should not be used to limit the scope of the invention.

FIG. 1A visar en perspektiv vy av en kladestorktumlare enligt en utforingsform av uppfinningen; FIG. 1B visar en annan perspektiv vy av en kladestorktumlare enligt en utforingsform av uppfinningen; 25 FIG. 2 visar en perspektiv vy av en kladestorktumlare utan tumlaren enligt en utforingsform av uppfinningen, och FIG. 3 visar i detalj luddfiltret och munstycksorganet enligt en utforingsform av uppfinningen. 537 671 En fackman inom omradet inser latt aft olika sardrag som beskrivs i beskrivningen kan modifieras, och aft olika utforingsformer som beskrivs och / eller anges i patentkraven kan kombineras utan aft awika fran ramen for uppfinningen. FIG. 1A shows a perspective view of a tumble dryer according to an embodiment of the invention; FIG. 1B shows another perspective view of a draft dryer according to an embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a tumble dryer without the tumbler according to an embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 3 shows in detail the lint filter and the nozzle member according to an embodiment of the invention. One skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various features described in the specification may be modified, and various embodiments described and / or set forth in the claims may be combined without departing from the scope of the invention.

Detaljerad beskrivning Figur 1A och figur 1B visar en kladestorktumlare 10 enligt en utforingsform av denna uppfinning. Kladestorktumlaren 10 innefattar en roterande trumma 12, en sluten processluftkanal (ej visad) och en forsta och andra varmevaxlare. Varmevaxlarna är anordnade inuti en kammare 27 och darfor inte synligt visade i vyn. Detailed Description Figure 1A and Figure 1B show a draft dryer 10 according to an embodiment of this invention. The draft dryer 10 comprises a rotating drum 12, a closed process air duct (not shown) and a first and second heat exchangers. The heat exchangers are arranged inside a chamber 27 and therefore not visibly shown in the view.

Fackmannen inom omradet skulle inse aft den andra varmevaxlaren kan kylas av omgivande luft eller vatten, eller utgor en forangare som är del av en varmepump. Fackmannen inom omradet skulle vidare inse aft den forsta varmevaxlaren kan vara en elektrisk varmare, en varmevaxlare dar hett vatten eller luft anvands for aft varma processluft, eller en kondensor som ar del av narrinda varmepump. Foreliggande uppfinning är fOljaktligen riktad till bada typerna av torkar. I det foljande kommer varmevaxlaren / forangaren benamnas andra varmevaxlare och varmaren / varmevaxlare / kondensor benamnas andra varmevaxlare. Those skilled in the art would recognize that the second heat exchanger can be cooled by ambient air or water, or forms an evaporator that is part of a heat pump. Those skilled in the art would further appreciate that the first heat exchanger may be an electric heater, a heat exchanger where hot water or air is used for hot process air, or a condenser which is part of the narcissistic heat pump. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to both types of dryers. In the following, the heat exchanger / evaporator will be called another heat exchanger and the heater / heat exchanger / condenser will be called other heat exchangers.

Processen luft 14 strommar fran trumman genom kanalen till den andra varmevaxlaren via luddfiltret. Luftkanalen ansluter foljaktligen trumman med filtret. Kanalen är inte en vasentlig del av uppfinningen och darfor avlagsnad for aft illustrera torkens delar bakom. Sasom visas i figur 4, strommar processluften vertikalt i eft filter utrymme 35 och darefter vander horisontellt och passerar genom filtret 18. Utrymmet är stangt pa framsidan av maskinen genom en tackdel (inte visad). The process air 14 flows from the drum through the duct to the second heat exchanger via the lint filter. The air duct consequently connects the drum with the filter. The duct is not an essential part of the invention and is therefore removed to illustrate the parts of the dryer behind it. As shown in Figure 4, the process air flows vertically into the filter space 35 and then travels horizontally and passes through the filter 18. The space is closed at the front of the machine by a roof part (not shown).

Luddfiltret 18 ar lostagbart fast framfor den andra varmevaxlaren for aft avlagsna ludd fran inkommande processluften 14. Sasom kommer aft vara uppenbart for en person som fackmannen pa omradet, är luddfiltret 18 eft 6 537 671 standard luddfilter och är i allmanhet en skarm / nat som är gjort av nylon. Luddfiltret är placerat fore den andra varmevaxlaren i flodesriktningen fOr processluften sa aft ludd samlas in av luddfiltret innan luften nar den andra varmevaxlaren. Denna fordelaktiga placering av luddfiltret fore varmevaxlaren och andra delar exponerade fOr ludd resulterar i att filtret fungerar som en mekanisk barriar, och hjalper darmed till att forhindra att nagot ludd nar den andra varmevaxlaren och andra delar vilket forhindrar efterfoljande ludd avsattning och uppbyggnad . The lint filter 18 is removably fixed in front of the second heat exchanger to remove the lint from the incoming process air 14. As will be apparent to a person skilled in the art, the lint filter 18 is 6,567,671 standard lint filters and is generally a screen / night which is made of nylon. The lint filter is placed in front of the second heat exchanger in the direction of the river for the process air so that lint is collected by the lint filter before the air reaches the second heat exchanger. This advantageous placement of the lint filter before the heat exchanger and other parts exposed to lint results in the filter acting as a mechanical barrier, and thus helps to prevent any lint from reaching the other heat exchanger and other parts, which prevents subsequent lint deposition and build-up.

Vidare, fast till luddfiltret 18 är munstycksorganet 24 som är fluidmassigt är ansluten till en vattenpump 20 via en rengoringskrets. Vattenpumpen är belagen i en ackumulatortank. Pumpen är inte synligt i figurerna, men är placerad i anden av roret 30a, nara bottenplattan. Ackumulatortanken är anordnad pa en konventionell bottenplatta 22 av kladestorktumlare 10 och inte synlig i figurerna. Further, attached to the lint filter 18, the nozzle member 24 which is fluidly connected to a water pump 20 via a cleaning circuit. The water pump is housed in an accumulator tank. The pump is not visible in the figures, but is located in the spirit of the rudder 30a, near the bottom plate. The accumulator tank is arranged on a conventional bottom plate 22 of the dryer 10 and is not visible in the figures.

Pumpen är en placerad i eller nara ackumulatortanken for aft kunna pumpa vatten som samlats i tanken. Om pumpen inte är placerad i vattnet anvands ett ror som for aft pumpa vatten fran ackumulatortanken via pumpen till munstycksorganet 24. The pump is a placed in or near the accumulator tank to be able to pump water collected in the tank. If the pump is not placed in the water, a rudder is used which pumps water from the accumulator tank via the pump to the nozzle member 24.

Rengoringskretsen innefattar eft styrelement 26 och ett vattenfilter 28, varvid styrelementet 26 och vattenfiltret 28 är fluidmassigt forbundna med varandra till vaftenpumpen 20 och munstycksorganet 24 via en grupp av vattenror 30 (a, b, c och d). Figur 2 visar en annan alternativ vy av kladestorktumlaren 10 van i tumlaren 12 inte visas. Roret 30a som leder fran vattenpumpen 20 till vattenfiltret 28 ses tydligt i den hal- vyn. The cleaning circuit comprises control element 26 and a water filter 28, the control element 26 and the water filter 28 being fluidly connected to each other to the waft pump 20 and the nozzle member 24 via a group of water pipes 30 (a, b, c and d). Figure 2 shows another alternative view of the tumble dryer 10 used in the tumbler 12 not shown. The pipe 30a leading from the water pump 20 to the water filter 28 is clearly seen in that half view.

FIG. 3 visar i detalj luddfiltret 18 och munstycksorganet 24 enligt en utforingsform av uppfinningen. Munstycksorganet 24 bestar av en lans 32, varvid lansen 32 har sma nedatriktade slitsar / hal / oppningar 34. Lansen 32 är placerad hangs den ovre kanten av luddfiltret 18. Vatten for rengoring av luddfiltret 18 transporteras genom dessa slitsar / hal / oppningar 34 for att 7 537 671 spraya luddfiltret 18. Fackmannen inom omradet skulle inse att lansen kan vara positionerad langs vilken som heist av kant eller kanter (mer an en) av I uddfiltret. FIG. 3 shows in detail the lint filter 18 and the nozzle member 24 according to an embodiment of the invention. The nozzle member 24 consists of a lance 32, the lance 32 having small downward slits / slits / openings 34. The lance 32 is located hanging from the upper edge of the lint filter 18. Water for cleaning the lint filter 18 is transported through these slits / slides / openings 34 to 7 537 671 spray the lint filter 18. Those skilled in the art would appreciate that the lance may be positioned along any hoist of edge or edges (more than one) of the I cap filter.

Rengoringskretsen är sluten mellan vattenpumpen 20 och munstycksorganet 24. Detta innebar aft ett hogt tryck kan byggas upp, vilket gar aft kondensatet kan sprayas vid ett Mgt tryck och armed uppna en hogre rengoringsverkan. Detta är en vasentlig farbattring jamfort med en losning dar den appna kondensvattentanken 36 är en del av kretsen. The cleaning circuit is closed between the water pump 20 and the nozzle member 24. This means that a high pressure can be built up, which means that the condensate can be sprayed at a high pressure and armed to achieve a higher cleaning effect. This is a significant improvement compared to a solution where the open condensate tank 36 is part of the circuit.

Vid drift, nal- en anvandare aktiverar kladestorktumlaren 10 for aft torka fuktig tvatt, sugs omgivande luft 14 in i processluftkanalen och \farms av den forsta varmevaxlaren. Denna varma processluft tillfors till den roterande trumman 12 for aft avfukta och torka den fuktiga tvatten. Processluften utmatas och atercirkuleras kontinuerligt. De luddpartiklar som bars av processluften filtreras av luddfiltret 18. In operation, the user activates the tumble dryer 10 to dry moist water, suction ambient air 14 is sucked into the process air duct and is fed by the first heat exchanger. This hot process air is supplied to the rotating drum 12 to dehumidify and dry the moist water. The process air is discharged and recirculated continuously. The lint particles carried by the process air are filtered by the lint filter 18.

Darefter kondenseras fuktigheten narvarande i processluften vid den andra varmevaxlaren och kondensatet eller det kondenserade vattnet samlas i ackumulatortanken i basplattan 22. Den kontinuerliga driften av kladestorktumlaren 10 ger upphov till en gradvis avsattning av smuts pa luddfiltret 18 och salunda behovs en rengoringsmekanism for aft rengora luddfiltret 18 och bibehalla den totala effektiviteten av kladestorktumlaren 10. Thereafter, the moisture present in the process air at the second heat exchanger is condensed and the condensate or condensed water collects in the accumulator tank in the base plate 22.
