Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dryer with a cooled engine.
  • a dryer in the form of a tumble dryer is executed and used in principle as an exhaust air dryer or circulating air dryer.
  • moist laundry items are dried by first heating dry air as so-called process air and then passing it over the wet laundry items located in a drum.
  • the moisture contained in the items of laundry evaporates and is led out of the drum in the form of moist, warm process air.
  • the moist, warm process air is cooled by precipitation of the moisture (condensation dryer), first in a heat exchanger and then returned to the drying chamber after renewed heating.
  • the air laden with moisture after passing through the laundry drum is generally conducted out of the exhaust air dryer.
  • the process air can be cooled by deposition of the moisture contained in it, whereby a heat recovery can take place.
  • a conventional dryer has a housing and a drying chamber for objects to be dried, a process air duct in which a heater for heating the process air and a first blower, a motor for driving the drying chamber, a heat exchanger and a cold air section in the process air duct or in a Cooling air duct on.
  • the cold air section is generally referred to the part which is located between a cold air inlet and a heat exchanger.
  • cold air is usually used air at a temperature which is substantially equal to the room temperature, i. the temperature of the installation room, is.
  • the heating of the motor used to drive the dryer determines its dimensioning and other design.
  • the heat dissipation is difficult to the surrounding air around the engine. With an increase in the internal temperature, the heat dissipation from the engine deteriorates because the engine is generally air-cooled.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to provide a dryer that allows improved operation of the engine.
  • the reliability and life of the engine and thus of the dryer should be improved.
  • the invention thus relates to a dryer with a housing and a drying chamber for objects to be dried, a process air duct in which there is a heater for heating the process air and a first fan, a motor for driving the drying chamber, a heat exchanger and a cold air section in Process air duct or in a cooling air duct, wherein an engine cooling duct branches off from the cold air section, through which the engine with cold air can be acted upon.
  • the cold air section is located in the process air channel.
  • a dryer is designed as an exhaust air dryer, in which the process air is divided into supply air before the drying chamber and exhaust air after leaving the drying chamber.
  • the cold air section is located in the cooling air duct.
  • Such a dryer is designed as a circulating air dryer.
  • the proportion of air flowing from the cold air portion into the engine cooling passage may vary within a wide range.
  • a partial air flow is in Engine cooling channel up to 30%, more preferably up to 20%, of a total flow in the cold air section.
  • the engine cooling passage is preferably a second fan.
  • the engine can then be cooled particularly efficiently.
  • the first blower and the second blower are disposed on opposite sides of the engine.
  • the first blower and the second blower form a double-flow blower.
  • the engine in these embodiments is the engine that is also used to drive the drying chamber.
  • a third fan is located in the cooling air duct, a third fan.
  • the heating for heating the process air may be, for example, an electrical resistance heater and / or a second heat exchanger.
  • an electrical resistance heater and a second heat exchanger are used.
  • the second heat exchanger may be an air-to-air heat exchanger in which warm air from the drying chamber or engine compartment is used to heat the process air, or the condenser of a heat pump.
  • the cooling of the warm, moisture-laden process air essentially takes place in the evaporator of the heat pump, where the heat transferred is used to evaporate a refrigerant used in the heat pump cycle. That's because of Heating evaporated refrigerant of the heat pump is supplied via a compressor to the condenser of the heat pump, where due to the condensation of the gaseous refrigerant heat is released, which is used to heat the supply air before entering the drying chamber (drum).
  • the heating is appropriately regulated, that is to say in accordance with the invention. As the degree of drying progresses, its heat output is reduced.
  • the dryer according to the invention has the advantage that the improved cooling of the motor of the dryer can be operated at a lower temperature compared to a conventional dryer.
  • the risk of a motor stall due to heating is reduced and thus the likelihood of the engine failing altogether.
  • the engine temperature can be maintained at the same level. Because of the active cooling of the motor, it can be made smaller with regard to the laminated core and winding, so that a cost advantage can be achieved without loss of function.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 Further details of the invention will become apparent with reference to the FIGS. 1 and 2 from the following description of non-limiting embodiments for the dryer according to the invention and the method for its operation.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vertical section through a dryer which is designed as a vented dryer.
  • FIG. 2 shows a vertical section through a dryer, which is designed as a circulating air dryer.
  • the in FIG. 1 The dryer shown has, in a housing 1, a drum rotatable about a horizontal axis as a drying chamber 3, within which drivers 4 are fastened for moving laundry during a drum rotation.
  • Supply air is guided in the process air duct 2 by means of a first blower 6 from the supply air inlet 13 via an air-air heat exchanger 5 and an electric heater 10 through the drum 3.
  • the cold air section 8 designates the part of the process air duct 2 from the inlet air inlet 13 to the air-air heat exchanger 5.
  • an engine cooling duct 23 branches off to the engine 7 in order to cool it by supplying cold air.
  • the process air laden with moisture is conducted in a part of the process air duct 2 designated here as an exhaust duct 9 via the air-air heat exchanger 5 to an exhaust air outlet 12.
  • heated air from the rear of the electric heater 10, i. from the opposite side of the door 14 of the drum 3, passed through the perforated bottom in the drum 3, comes there with the laundry to be dried in contact and flows through the filling opening of the drum 3 to a lint filter 15 within a closing the filling opening door 14th Subsequently, the air flow is deflected in the door 14 down and passed in the exhaust duct 9 on to the air-to-air heat exchanger 5.
  • the moisture absorbed by the process air from the items of laundry condenses there and is collected in a condensate tray (not shown here).
  • the cooled and dehumidified process air leaves the exhaust air duct 9 at the exhaust air outlet 12 as exhaust air.
  • a second blower 25 is located in this embodiment.
  • the drum 3 is in the in Fig. 1 shown embodiment at the rear bottom by means of a pivot bearing and front mounted by means of a bearing plate 16, the drum 3 rests with a brim on a sliding strip 17 on the bearing plate 16 and is held at the front end.
  • the control of the exhaust air dryer takes place via a control device 18, which can be controlled by the user via an operating unit 19.
  • the first blower 6, the second blower 25 and the drum 3 are driven by the same motor 7, the first blower 6 and the second blower 25 being on opposite sides of the engine 7.
  • FIG. 2 shows a vertical section through a dryer, which is designed as a circulating air dryer. In this embodiment therefore accounts for a supply air inlet and an exhaust duct.
  • the cold air section 8 is located in the cooling air passage 22.
  • the cold air section 8 extends in particular from a cooling air inlet 20 to the heat exchanger 5.
  • From the cold air section 8 branches off an engine cooling channel 23 to the motor 7 to cool it by supplying cold air.
  • a third fan 24 conveys cooling air from a cooling air inlet 20 through the air-air heat exchanger 5 to the cooling air outlet 21.
  • the cold air for cooling the engine 6 comes from a separate cooling air duct.
  • the additional use of a third blower 24 in the cooling air duct be useful.
  • the for Fig. 2 not separately explained parts of the dryer correspond to those for Fig. 1 described parts and their functions.
