Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer with a heat pump system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a laundry dryer the heat pump technology is at present the most efficient way to dry laundry by reduced energy consumption.
  • an air stream flows in a closed air stream circuit.
  • the air stream is moved by an air stream fan and passes through a laundry drum removing water from wet clothes.
  • the air stream is cooled down and dehumidified in an evaporator or gas heater and heated up in a condenser or gas cooler.
  • the air stream is re-inserted into the laundry drum again.
  • a refrigerant flows in a closed refrigerant circuit.
  • the refrigerant is compressed by a compressor.
  • the refrigerant is condensed in the condenser or cooled down in the gas cooler.
  • the refrigerant is laminated in an expansion device.
  • the refrigerant is vaporized in the evaporator or heated up in the gas heater. If the refrigerant operates at a pressure equal or higher than the critical pressure, then it is cooled down in the gas cooler and heated up in the gas heater, respectively.
  • the temperatures of the air stream and the refrigerant are strictly connected to each other.
  • the cycle of the laundry dryer with the heat pump system comprise two phases, i.e. a transitory phase and a steady state phase.
  • the temperatures of the air stream and the refrigerant are usually at ambient temperature.
  • the temperatures of the air stream and the refrigerant increase up to a desired level.
  • the temperatures of the air stream and the refrigerant are kept constant until the laundry is dried.
  • the drying rate is very low, since the temperature at the inlet of the laundry drum is still low.
  • a high temperature at the inlet of the laundry drum is required.
  • the high temperature allows then, that the air stream is dehumidified in the evaporator.
  • the temperature of the air stream at the outlet of the evaporator decreases in the beginning of the cycle below the initial value, i.e. the ambient temperature, since the temperature of the refrigerant decreases in the evaporator, after the compressor has started to work.
  • FIG 2 illustrates the time development of the temperatures of the air stream at several points of the air stream channel.
  • the temperature T-LD-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the laundry drum corresponds with the temperature T-EV-IN of the air stream at the inlet of the evaporator.
  • the temperature T-EV-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the evaporator corresponds with the temperature T-CO-IN of the air stream at the inlet of the condenser.
  • the temperature T-CO-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the condenser corresponds with the temperature T-LD-IN of the air stream at the inlet of the laundry drum.
  • the above temperatures T-LD-OUT, T-EV-OUT and T-CO-OUT of the air stream are at the ambient temperature T-AM.
  • the temperature T-CO-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the condenser increases during the transitory phase.
  • the temperature T-LD-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the laundry drum can decrease marginally, but increases during the substantial part of the transitory phase.
  • the temperature T-EV-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the evaporator decreases at first, but increases during the substantial part of the transitory phase. However, during the first half of the transitory phase the temperature T-EV-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the evaporator is below the ambient temperature T-AM.
  • the drying cycle enters the steady state phase.
  • the temperatures T-LD-OUT, T-EV-OUT and T-CO-OUT of the air stream are substantially at constant values.
  • the condensation temperature of the refrigerant is close to the temperature T-CO-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the condenser, while the evaporation temperature is marginally lower than the temperature T-EV-OUT of the air stream at the outlet of the evaporator.
  • the flow rate of the refrigerant depends on the evaporation temperature. The higher the evaporation temperature, the higher is the flow rate of the refrigerant and the heating and cooling power of the heat pump system. In fact, the higher evaporation temperature causes a higher evaporation pressure and a higher density at the inlet of the compressor. At the same time, the temperature of the air stream depends on the condensation temperature of the refrigerant. Thus, it would be advantageous, if the transitory time is relative short and the temperatures of the air stream increase fast.
  • EP 1 664 647 B1 discloses a drying apparatus for drying a subject, wherein the refrigerant is circulated through the compressor, a radiator, an expansion mechanism and the evaporator.
  • the drying air is heated by the radiator, flown to the subject to be dried and dehumidified by the evaporator.

  • the present invention provides a recirculation of the air stream from the connection between the air stream outlet of the first heat exchanger and inlet of the laundry drum to the connection between the air stream outlet of the second heat exchanger and the air stream inlet of said first heat exchanger.
  • the recirculation of the air stream is activated during the transitory phase or warm-up phase of the drying cycle. In this case, only a part of the air stream is transferred into the laundry drum.
