Description
Australian Patents Act 1990 - Regulation 3.2 ORIGINAL COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention Title Laundry drier with variable drying air flow and method for its operation The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: P/00/0 II CIAl la Technical Field 5 The invention relates to a laundry dryer with a drying air circuit, a drum arranged in the drying air circuit for receiving the laundry to be dried, a ventila tor for generating an air flow of drying air in the dry 10 ing air circuit, and a control unit for controlling the ventilator. Further, the invention relates to a method for operating such a laundry dryer. Background Art 15 In known laundry dryers the drying air in the air circuit is conveyed through the drum, which allows the laundry to be dried dried. A high air flow helps to increase the drying efficiency, but it increases energy 20 consumption and noise. Disclosure of the Invention The problem to be solved by the present in 25 vention is to provide a laundry drier and a method for its operation with improved air flow control. This aim is achieved by the independent claims. Accordingly, a control unit of the laundry drier is adapted to generate at least two different air 30 flows in the drying air circuit. Both air flows are lar ger than zero. According to the method of the present in vention the two air flows are maintained in different first and second time periods. This allows to provide a machine that is better adapted to requirements. 35 The term "at least two different air flows" is to be understood to designate two different air flows 17.10.2011 SU/web P106351AUOO.doc 2 that are unequal to zero, i.e. drying air at rest is not considered to be an air flow in the sense of the claim. Advantageously, the air flow is varied within a single drying process. 5 For example, the air flow can be set to be higher in an initial phase of the drying process and to be lower in an end phase of the same. This takes account of the fact that the laundry becomes dryer towards the end of the drying process and therefore, the humidity of 10 the drying air decreases, which makes an extraction of water from the drying air more difficult. By reducing the air flow towards the end of the process, the decrease of humidity can be compensated, such that the drying air can still be dried with high efficiency. 15 For the same reason, in another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the humidity of the laundry or of the drying air is measured by means of a humidity sensor, and the volume air flow is reduced when the hu midity decreases. 20 The laundry dryer can be equipped with a heat pump having an evaporator and a condenser in the drying air circuit, in order to extract water from and feed heat to the drying air. In this case the power of the heat pump is advantageously adjusted depending on the air 25 flow. In particular, the power of the heat pump can be reduced when the air flow is reduced. In this manner, noise can be reduced and energy consumption can be opti mized. Further, the laundry drier can comprise a 30 program selector of a known type, by means of which the user can select one of several drying programs with dif ferent operating parameters. In this case, at least two drying programs with different air flows can be provided. Upon selection of a first one of the drying programs, the 35 control unit generates a lower air flow than upon selec tion of a second one of the drying programs. The first drying program can, e.g., be used as a noise-reduced 17.10.2011 SU/web P106351AU00.doc 3 night program with lower energy consumption, while the second program provides higher speed drying. Other advantageous embodiments are listed in the dependent claims as well as in the description below. 5 The term "air flow" as used herein designates the "volume flow of the air", e.g. as expressed in m 3 per minute. Other advantageous embodiments are listed in the dependent claims as well as in the description below. 10 Brief Description of the Drawing The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become ap 15 parent from the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawing, which schematically shows some components of a laundry dryer. 20 Modes for Carrying Out the Invention The laundry dryer according to the enclosed figure comprises a drum 1 for receiving the laundry to be dried. The drum 1 is rotated by means of a drive 2, ad 25 vantageously in a reversing motion, i.e. the direction of the rotation is changed in a reversing rhythm in order to reduce the tendency of the laundry to become entangled. The drum 1 is arranged in a drying air cir cuit 3. In the present embodiment the air circuit is a 30 closed air circuit even though the invention can, in principle, also be used with an open air flow, in which part of the drying air is at least at intervals replaced by fresh air. In order to convey the air through the drying 35 air circuit 3, a ventilator 4 is provided. From ventila tor 4 the drying air arrives at drum 1 and from there it 17.10.2011 SU/wph P106351AUOO.doc 4 passes an evaporator 5 and a condenser 6 of a heat pump 7 and finally returns to ventilator 4. The heat pump 7 comprises a compressor 8, which pumps, in known manner, a heat pump fluid through 5 the condenser 6, an expansion valve 9, and the evaporator 5, such that condenser 6 acts as a heater and evaporator 5 as a freezer for the drying air in the drying air cir cuit 3. This allows to dry the air at the location of evaporator 5 and to heat it at the location of condenser 10 6. The operation of the device is controlled by a control unit 10. A program selector 11 is connected to control unit 10. By means of program selector 10 the user can select one of several drying programs with different 15 operating parameters. The control unit 10 controls a drying process by controlling the various components of the device, such as drive 2 of drum 1, compressor 8 and ventilator 4. As mentioned above, this allows to vary the 20 air flow in the drying air circuit 3. In the following, some examples are described. Reduction of the air flow with decreasing hu midity 25 In a particularly advantageous embodiment the air flow in the drying air circuit is reduced for in creasing dryness of the drying air and/or laundry. This is based on the understanding that efficiency of the wa ter extraction from the drying air decreases when its hu 30 midity decreases. For this reason, the air flow is advan tageously reduced when the air or laundry becomes drier, such that there is more time for the drying air to take up humidity in the drum. For this purpose, in the first embodiment, a 35 humidity sensor 12 can be provided, which measures the humidity of the laundry or of the drying air. The drying sensor 12 can, e.g., be a conductivity sensor that meas 17.10.2011 SU/web P106351AUOO.doc 5 ures the conductivity of the laundry in drum 1, or it can be a humidity gas sensor, which measures the humidity in the drying air. When control unit 10 detects a decrease of humidity the air flow is automatically reduced to a 5 lower value. In a second embodiment, however, a purely time-controlled control of the air flow is possible. In this case control unit 10 operates ventilator 4 in an initial phase of a drying process with a higher speed 10 than towards the end of the process. For example, venti lator 4 can be operated with a higher rotating speed dur ing the first 60 minutes of a drying process than during the subsequent end phase (or vice versa). The air flow, i.e. of the rotating speed of 15 ventilator 4, can be varied in stepwise manner, i.e. the air flow can take at least two different values separated by at least one step. Alternatively, the air flow can be varied continuously. 20 Special program with reduced air flow In another advantageous embodiment several drying programs can be provided, which differ in air flow. In particular, at least one program with a reduced air flow can be provided, upon selection of which venti 25 lator 4 is at least temporarily, advantageously during the whole process, operated with a lower speed than dur ing another (normal) program. In order to compensate for the reduced drying rate caused by the lower air flow, the program with the reduced air flow advantageously takes 30 longer than a regular program. A special program of this type can, e.g., be used at night because in that case the duration of the program is of minor importance. 35 Adaptation of drum speed to air flow In a further advantageous embodiment control unit 10 is designed to operate drive 2 of drum 1 depend 17.10.2011 CT /m-. P106351AUOO.doc 6 ing on the air flow. In particular, the rotating speed and/or the reversing rhythm of the drum can be adjusted depending on air flow. For example, the rotating speed can be reduced when the air flow is low, e.g. during the 5 special program with reduced air flow as described above, by means of which energy consumption and noise generation can be reduced further. Adapting the heat pump power to the air flow 10 It can be advantageous to adapt the power of the heat pump 7 depending on the air flow. During opera tion with lower air flow the power of heat pump 7 can be lower as well, as compared to the operation with higher air flow. This again allows to decrease energy consump 15 tion and noise. In other words, at least two different air flows can be maintained in the laundry drying, with a first air flow being maintained in a first time period and being larger than the second air flow maintained in a 20 second time period. In this case, during the first time period, the heat pump is operated with a larger power than during the second time period. For this reason, the drive of heat pump 7 is advantageously a "brushless DC" (BLDC) motor, whose ro 25 tating speed can be varied easily. It is, however, also possible to operate the motor in pulsed operation. Notes The above examples for programs and methods, 30 in which the air flow volume is varied, can be used indi vidually or in arbitrary combination. The amount of the variation of the air flow depends, inter alia, on the size of the device and its application. For a device with a drum volume of approxi 35 mately 110 litres the regular or normal air flow (e.g. during the above "initial phase" of a drying process or in the above "normal or regular program") can be approxi 17.10.2011 SU/web P106351AU00.doc 7 mately 250 m 3 /h. The reduced air flow (e.g. in the above "end phase" of a drying program or in the above "program with reduced air flow") can be approximately 150 m 3 /h. It is further possible to increase the air 5 flow temporarily or during certain programs, e.g. in or der to achieve a faster drying. In conclusion, the air flow of the laundry dryer can be varied. In particular, the air flow can be reduced during the course of a drying process, such that 10 the drying air can still take up a large amount of humid ity and it remains possible to efficiently extract water therefrom even towards the end of the process. Further, the user can be provided with different programs having different air flows and process durations, such that du 15 ration, heat consumption and energy consumption as well as noise generation can be chosen according to require ments. Advantageously, the power of the heat pump 7 is varied as a function of the air flow.
