Heat-Pump Tumble Dryer Tumble dryers with a heat pump are an excellent alternative to traditional vented or condenser models. It is more energy efficient, protects your clothes and the environment and costs less. The secret behind these dryers is the smart system that recycles air throughout the cycle. The air that is pumped into the drum is heated before it evaporates the moisture, allowing your clothes and the air to be recycled. Energy efficiency A heat pump does more than just warm up a building. It can also provide cooling, and now it is taking on laundry – one of the most energy-sucking appliances found in modern homes. It does it using a fraction of electricity that traditional electric drying appliances consume. The secret lies in moving heat and not generating it. Instead of relying on the heating element to evaporate the moisture from the clothes, like the conventional electric dryer heat pump tumble dryers employ an air compressor that transfers heat between two cycles. This is done by absorbing warmth from the surrounding air and venting it out, which reheats the incoming cold air. The process continues. Electric-powered heat pump are more gentle on your clothes than vented dryers which operate at very high temperatures that cause clothing to shrink and necklines to be distorted. This prolongs their lifespan and helps your clothes keep their color and prints. Venting vented tumble dryers is not required. They can be vented outside using an water hose. Instead, they move heat from the air outside into a drum for drying that is filled with wet clothing. As the fabric twirls it's heat moves into the drum and it is heated to the same temperature as the room. This warm air evaporates the water from the clothes and is then drained directly into the drain or disposed in a tank that needs to be emptied. The process is continuous however, when the cycle is finished and the dryer exhausts it draws in fresh air from outside, which is controlled by your home's furnace or air conditioning system for warming and cooling purposes. It replaces the conditioned air which is exhausted by the dryer exhaust vent. This means you won't need to spend extra money cooling outdoor air to wash your clothes. Heat-pump dryers are a great option for buildings that have heat pumps that condition the indoor air. This is particularly true for those that are still trying to bring all the indoor air systems under a single control system. Once all the equipment is connected and set up to make sure that the air that is conditioned from the central system of your building flows from one side of the building to the other and reduces the need for each appliance to work to condition new outdoor air for each washing or drying session. Convenience In a world where we're increasingly conscious of our impact on the environment, selecting an appliance that minimizes your carbon footprint is sensible. Tumble dryers with heat pumps meet that criteria, using less energy than traditional models and allowing you to live greener. In contrast to condenser or vented tumble dryers, which make use of hot air to evaporate moisture in the drum and then recycle the heat that they generate. Instead of venting outside the warm air that comes out of the evaporator gets filtered and stored in a water tank before being heated again to repeat the process. This system means there's no need for an exhaust pipe and you can put your dryer wherever you want in your home. The tumble dryers with heat pumps also stop shrinkage which is beneficial to your clothes. They accomplish this by using lower temperatures for drying which protect your clothes and extends their life. In fact, heat pump dryers are so gentle that they can even be used on delicate silk blouses and wool sweaters. Many tumble dryers with a heat pump come with a range of smart features that make laundry day simpler. They are designed to integrate into your daily routine and work around you. Certain dryers with heat pumps have sensors that determine the amount of moisture present on your clothes and adjusts the cycle duration automatically. This helps prevent drying over and extend the life of your clothing and save energy. Add-on programs let you run a second load of laundry while your primary one is getting done. You can also set an automatic end of cycle warning to remind yourself to remove your clothes. Many heat pump dryers are smaller than conventional condenser or vented tumblers, making them easy to fit into tight spaces. Their sleek designs are ideal for any modern design scheme. And, with a range of finishes and colours available, you're sure to find one that will fit perfectly with your home. Cleaning The models with heat pumps, as with other tumble dryers, come with two fine lint screens, as well condenser coils, which have to be cleaned every time a load is done. These parts can be easily removed and placed back inside the appliance. The heat-pump is also equipped with an additional fluff filter which should be opened, cleaned with soapy water, or descaled on a regular basis to ensure that it functions correctly. It is essential to clean the moisture sensor on the door of your appliance regularly as it can be affected by limescale and residues of detergents and care products, affecting its function and leading to poor drying results. Open the appliance door and apply a rough sponge to clean the sensor. It should then be closed again. Maintenance Even the top tumble dryer won't give you clean and dry laundry if it's not maintained properly. Tumble dryers can be prone to malfunctions, and can be costly to fix. However, regular cleaning and checks can save you money. If your tumble dryer vents (expells warm, moist air out of your house via an hose) it is crucial to clean the hose every three months. The hose could become blocked with lint or other debris that can impede airflow and make your tumble dryer less effective. A vent hose is easily removed and cleaned with a wet towel or the attachment for a vacuum cleaner. The lower filter of a heat pump tumble dryer may be a bit more difficult to access, however it's still essential to clean. The lower filter is situated at the bottom of the machine in the front of the heat exchanger. It is unlocked by pushing in two small levers. Rinse the filter, remove any hair or fluff, and then rinse it until it's clean. Heat-pump tumble driers are more expensive than vented ones, and it's important to keep them free of filth and ensure they continue to perform well. This can also lower your energy bills. You should also examine the condition of the belt that moves the drum in the tumble dryer. If you hear it squealing, or notice that it's advancing more slowly than usual, this could be an indication of an issue with the belt. Another tip for maintenance is to check that the fine mesh filter is free of lint. It's usually difficult to find but it is important to check it regularly. A blocked filter can cause your dryer to take longer to dry and could cause water leakage. It is also essential to ensure that the heat exchanger doesn't become clogged with fluff. This can occur when you don't empty the reservoir after every cycle or if you have put too much washing into one cycle, and the machine will buzz or beep to remind you that it is emptying.
