Laundry machine
InactiveUS20060005581A1Efficient supplyLow costOther washing machinesWashing machine with receptaclesLaundryMechanical engineering
A drum type laundry machine according to the invention is capable of efficiently supplying steam to laundry in a drum. When the steam is supplied into the drum 11, a blower 39 is rotated at a higher rotation speed than in a heat drying operation (e.g., 5200 rpm) to provide greater air blowing power. Further, a projection 36 provided in an air passage narrows the air passage, so that an air flow rate is increased in the vicinity of a cooling water supply port 34. Therefore, cooling water supplied into a first air passage 32 is finely disintegrated on air, and supplied to a heater 43 in a heater housing 42 through a second air passage 33 and a blower chamber 40. The cooling water is heated by the heater 43 to be evaporated into steam. The steam thus generated is borne on the air and supplied into the drum 11 from a blowing port 44 through an air inlet port 9f.

Low temperature clothes dryer
InactiveUS7191546B2Circulated airMinimizes shutdownAgriculture tools and machinesDrying chambers/containersThermostatAir temperature
A low temperature clothes dryer having a drying chamber provides removable horizontal screens supporting clothing items and a hanging bar for hanging clothes to be dried. A timing control allows setting the time of operation of the drying cabinet. An electric heater with thermostat is provided to initially raise and maintain the air temperature within the drying chamber to at least about 90 degrees F. The dehumidifier is then operated, providing for circulation through the ducts and drying cabinet by an internal fan. The dehumidifier has an evaporator through which warm, humid air is passed, thereby cooling the air and condensing water therefrom, the water being collected in a removable container or drained through a drain hose. The fan forces the cooled, dried air through a condenser which heats the dried air for recirculation through the drying chamber by means of ducts, thereby drying the clothing therein.
