Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance, particularly a laundry dryer, having a condenser and an improved condenser cooling system.
- laundry dryer machines comprising a rotary drum adapted to receive the laundry to be dried, means for heating the drying air and a condenser for removing the moisture contained in the drying air at the exit of the rotary drum. These parts are arranged within an outer casing of the household appliance.
- the machine also comprises a special fan for successively circulating the drying air through the drum, the condenser and the heating means (typically an electrical resistor).
- a special fan for successively circulating the drying air through the drum, the condenser and the heating means (typically an electrical resistor).
- a second fan is also provided for feeding cooling air through the condenser.
- the cooling air is typically caused to flow into the laundry dryer through an opening of a side wall of the appliance casing.
- the opening for the inlet of the cooling air is made in the bottom wall of the casing, according to the above cited prior art document, the inlet is positioned in proximity of the rear wall of the casing where the opening for the outlet of the air flow, warmed up after having passed through the condenser, is provided.
- the condenser cooling might not be enough to ensure a satisfactory and effective dehumidification action on the air flow that comes out of the drum. This may affect the results of the whole drying cycle, leaving the laundry still partially wet at the end of the treatment.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a household appliance, particularly a laundry dryer, wherein the condenser can ensure a satisfactory condensing action on a wet air flow, even with a relatively high room temperature.
- a further object is to provide a household appliance that has a simple, inexpensive and compact structure.
- the figures show a laundry dryer 11 having an outer casing 12, with a rotary drum 13, a condenser 15 and heating means 14 arranged therein.
- the rotary drum 13 has a cavity for receiving the laundry to be dried, and is rotated, during operation, by known motor means.
- Condenser 15 has, in use, the task of removing moisture from the drying air that comes out of the drum 13 and may be formed as is known per se in the art.
- the condenser 15 may include tube bundles designed to carry wet air and be impinged upon by the cooling air flow.
- the laundry dryer also comprises first conveying means 16 for successively circulating the drying air through the rotary drum 13, the condenser 15 and the heating means 14.
- the first conveying means 16 are preferably made of a fan placed downstream from the condenser 15 and upstream from the heating means 14.
- a drying air filter 26 is placed downstream from the drum 13 and upstream from the condenser 15.
- a tank 30 is also placed downstream from the condenser 13 for collecting condensed water, the latter being then pumped by the pump 31 into a container 32 located at the front opening of the household appliance. By opening the window 25 that closes the front opening, the container 32 may be removed from the household appliance and emptied of condensed water and being able to access the drying cavity of the drum 13.
- the household appliance 11 also comprises second conveying means 17, 28, 29, 33 for causing the cooling air 19 to flow through the condenser 15.
- the wet air flow 24 that comes out of the drum 13 flows through the condenser 15 in a first direction and the cooling air flow 19 flows through it in a second direction.
- the direction of the cooling air flow through the condenser 15 is transverse to the direction of the wet air flow 24.
- the second conveying means include a fan 17.
- the fan 17 is preferably placed downstream from the condenser 15, with respect to the direction of the cooling air flow 19.
- the second conveying means are adapted to draw the cooling air 19 from outside the casing 12.
- the second conveying means are adapted to draw the cooling air from outside the casing 12 through an inlet 18 that faces towards the floor 20 on which the household appliance 11 lies in its operating position.
- operating position is intended to indicate the normal position that the household appliance 11 takes when it performs its primary task (for instance, in the case of a laundry dryer, the task of drying laundry).
- This particular novel position of the cooling air inlet 18 affords a more efficient cooling action in the condenser 15.
- air is normally colder near the floor of a room, and warmer at higher levels.
- air is forced to flow over the floor (which is normally colder than air) before entering the condenser.
- This allows the cooling air to be on average colder than the air in the room where the household appliance is located. Therefore, even when ambient temperature is relatively warm, the laundry dryer may ensure a satisfactory cooling action on the wet air that flows through the condenser 15. This affords a more effective condensation effect, and a generally more effective laundry drying cycle.
- the inlet 18 faces towards the floor, with its axis so oriented as to cross the floor 20.
- the axis of the inlet 18 is inclined at an angle of less than 45° to a line orthogonal to the floor; in a particularly preferred embodiment, as shown in the figures, the axis of the inlet 18 is substantially orthogonal to the floor 20, in the operating position of the household appliance.
- the inlet 18 is made of an inlet opening formed in the bottom wall 22 of the casing 12 of the laundry dryer 11.
- the inlet 18 is located in the proximity of a side wall 21 of the casing.
- the inlet 18 has an elongate shape (as clearly shown in Figure 3 ) and extends along a side edge of the bottom wall 22 of the casing. This configuration provides satisfactory flow and distribution of air into the condenser, without requiring any special size or high-power fan 17.
- the inlet 18 is at 0.5 cm to 5 cm from the floor, with the household appliance in its operating position, due to the provision of support means 23 that keep the household appliance 11 (and the inlet 18) at a desired height. This both provides an improved cooling effect and ensures a sufficient flow into the condenser.
- the width of the inlet 18 (i.e. the smaller size of the inlet 18) as shown in Figure 2 , is greater than the distance of the inlet 18 from the floor 20, with the household appliance 11 in its operating position.
- the second conveying means also include a conduit 29 that carries the cooling air from the inlet 18 to the condenser 15, and a conduit 33 that carries the cooling air from the condenser 15 to the fan 17.
- a conduit 28 is also provided for carrying the cooling air from the fan 17 to the outlet 27.
- the outlet 27 is made of an opening formed in the front wall of the casing 11.
- the outlet is located at a distance equal to at least half the width of the household appliance. This avoids any air recirculation below the appliance, and prevents the air that comes out of the outlet 27, and heated in the condenser, from being sucked back into the inlet 18.
- the cold circuit system should be advantageously in line with the motor and the circuit should be under vacuum. This ensures a more uniform flow through the condenser, as compared with e.g. the uniformity obtained under pressure, and ensures lower parasitic flow distortions. Furthermore, this circuit under vacuum promotes and enhances the local temperature of the ventilation system within the movable casing.
- the invention provides a household appliance having a condenser and an effective condenser cooling system.
- the position of the cooling air inlet actually ensures satisfactory condenser cooling, even when the surrounding environment is relatively warm. This allows an effective drying cycle relatively independently of environmental conditions.
- the household appliance is inexpensive and compact, and sufficient air flows may be obtained for proper operation of the condenser.
