Description

HEAT PUMP LAUNDRY DRYER
The present invention relates to a heat pump laundry dryer.
In heat pump laundry dryers wherein closed cycle drying process is applied, the heat pump used for drying the laundry is composed of the compressor that moves the refrigerant fluid and heat sinks named as evaporator and condenser. The laundry-drying process is performed by passing hot and dry air over the laundry. Humid air leaving the laundry leaves its moisture while passing over the evaporator that works as the condenser and warms while passing over the condenser that works as the heater. The air that leaves its moisture and warms up is sent onto the laundry throughout the drying cycle. The evaporator is composed of a refrigerant tube in serpentine form and fins arranged on the refrigerant tube. The humid air condensing on the evaporator fins trickles down as water droplets due to the effect of the gravity and these droplets accumulate in the drain channel under the evaporator. A gap should be left under the evaporator in order to maintain the water flow and as a result of this, some of the drying (processing) air moves through this gap formed for collecting water without passing through the evaporator and decreases the efficiency of the evaporator and also causes pressure loss in the closed air cycle. Moreover, the drying air gets humid again while passing through the water collection area under the evaporator and the laundry drying performance decreases.
In the state of the art Japanese Patent Application No. JP2006122466, a laundry washer/dryer is explained, wherein the processing air is prevented from entering into the drain channel that provides the discharge of the water condensing in the evaporator.
In the state of the art Japanese Patent Application No. JP2009247600, a laundry dryer is explained, wherein the discharge of the water condensing in the evaporator is facilitated.
The state of the art Japanese Patent Application No. JP2004240737 relates to a heat pump laundry dryer the drying performance of which is improved.
The aim of the present invention is the realization of a heat pump laundry dryer wherein the condensing efficiency of the evaporator thereof is improved.
The laundry dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof comprises a ventilation duct wherein the processing air cycle is realized and an evaporator and a condenser placed into the said channel; the humid air condensing at the evaporator trickles down from the evaporator as water droplets and these droplets accumulate in the base plate under the evaporator. There is a gap between the lower surface of the evaporator and the base plate for the water flow and the drying air passes through this gap. The laundry dryer, furthermore, comprises an air guide on the base plate, extending towards the lower surface of the evaporator, and the air guide guides the air passing through the gap under the evaporator into the evaporator and decreases its contact with the water and prevents it from getting wet.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the air guide is horizontally placed under the evaporator in a direction perpendicular to the air flow, so as to divide the base plate of the evaporator into two areas.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a water flow path is provided near the air guide on the base plate under the evaporator, and the water accumulated behind the air guide is provided to be transferred to the drain channel by passing through the said water flow path.
In the laundry dryer of the present invention, the air guide placed to the base plate that forms the lower wall of the air flow path at the region wherein the evaporator is situated, guides the air passing through the gap under the evaporator and provides it to be dehumidified and prevents the said air from leaving the evaporator region in a humid state by decreasing the contact of the drying air with the water..
