Heat-Pump Tumble Dryer
A tumble dryer with a heat pump is a great alternative to vented and condenser models. It is more energy efficient, secures your clothes and the environment and costs less.
The secret behind these dryers is the intelligent system that repurposes air throughout the process. The air that is introduced into the drum reheats the moisture, then evaporates and leaves your clothes cooled air.
Energy efficiency
A heat pump can do so much more than just warm up a building. It can provide cooling, and now it's tackling laundry - one of the most energy-intensive appliances in modern homes. It does it using only a tiny amount of energy that traditional dryers use.
The secret lies in the movement of heat instead of creating it. Heat pump tumble dryers do not depend on a heating element, like the traditional dryer to remove moisture from the clothes. Instead, they utilize the compressor to transfer heat between two cycles. This is done by absorbing warmth from surrounding air and venting it out, which then heats the cold air that is coming in. The process is repeated.
Electric heat pumps are more gentle on your clothes because they operate at lower temperatures than vented dryers. Ventilated dryers operate at high temperatures that cause clothes to shrink or necklines to become misshaped. This can extend their lifespan and allow your clothes to keep their color and design.
They don't need to be vented out of your home, unlike vented tumble dryers which use the hose to vent out of the home. They transfer heat from outside air into a drum filled with damp clothes. As the fabric spins, the heat moves to the drum which is heated to the same temperature as the room. This warm air evaporates water from the garment which can then be drained into the drain directly or stored in a tank.
The process is continuous. However when the cycle is over and the dryer exhausts out, it brings fresh air from outside that has been conditioning for heating or cooling purposes by the air conditioning system of your building. It replaces the conditioned air which is then ejected from the exhaust vent of the dryer. This means you won't have to invest in conditioning the air outside for your laundry.
The dryers with a heat pump are a great choice for buildings with heat pumps that condition the indoor air. That's especially true for buildings that are still working on bringing all the indoor air systems together into a single control system. Once all the equipment is connected, you can set it up to ensure that the air that is conditioned from your building's central system flows from one end of the building to the other and reduces the requirement for each appliance to work to condition fresh outdoor air for every washing or drying session.
Convenience
In a world that is becoming aware of its impact on the environment it is sensible to select an appliance that reduces your carbon footprint. Tumble dryers with heat pumps tick that box, utilising less energy than traditional models, and helping you live greener.
The models with heat pumps are more efficient than vented or condenser dryers that use hot air to evaporate water from the drum. They recycle the heat they create. Instead of venting out, the warm air from the dryer's evaporator would be filtered before being pumped into a tank of water. Then, it is then heated again in order to repeat the cycle. This eliminates the need for an exhaust pipe, allowing you to safely place your dryer wherever you want within your home.
The tumble dryers with heat pumps also prevent shrinkage, which is a benefit to your clothes. They do this by using lower temperatures to dry which protect your clothes and extends their life. In fact, heat pump dryers are so gentle that they can be used on delicate silk blouses and wool sweaters.
To add to their convenience, many heat pump tumble dryers offer a range of clever features that make laundry day a breeze. From automatic timer settings to a clever connection to your Miele washing machine, they're designed to work around you and fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
Certain dryers with heat pumps have a sensor which measures the amount of moisture that is on your clothes and adjusts the time of the cycle automatically. This helps prevent drying over, prolong the life of your clothes and save energy. Other helpful features include programmes that let you run another load of laundry while your initial load finishes and an automatic end-of-cycle alert to remind you to wash your laundry.
The heat pump dryers are smaller than traditional condenser or vented dryers. tumble dryer with heat pump makes them more convenient to fit into smaller space. Their sleek designs are perfect 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 decor.
Cleaning
The models with heat pumps, as with other tumble dryers have two fine lint screens, as well condenser coils, which have to be cleaned every time a load is completed. These components are easy to remove and can be placed back into the appliance. The models with heat pumps also come with two fluff filters that should be opened and cleaned with water or descaled regularly to ensure that it is working properly.
It is crucial to clean the moisture sensor inside the appliance door regularly, because it is susceptible to being affected by limescale and residues of products for cleaning and washing which can affect its function and result in poor drying results. Open the door of the appliance and apply a rough sponge to clean the sensor. Then, it needs to be shut.
Maintenance
Even the most efficient tumble dryer won't provide dry and clean laundry if it isn't maintained correctly. Tumble dryers are prone to malfunctions and expensive to repair. However regular cleaning and inspections can save you money.
If your tumble dryer has a vented (expels warm and moist air via a hose of your home) then clearing the hose every three months is essential. This is because lint and other debris can accumulate in the hose, limiting airflow and making your dryer less effective. Vent hoses can be easily cleaned and cleaned using a moist towel or the attachment for a vacuum cleaner.
The lower filter on a heat pump tumble dryer is a bit more difficult to access, but is still essential to clean. It's located in the lower part of the machine, in the front of the heat exchanger and is usually locked by pushing two small levers inwards. Rinse the filter and 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 is essential to keep them free of dust and clean to ensure they continue to perform well. This can also help lower the cost of energy.
You should also examine the condition of the belt that moves the drum inside the tumble dryer. If you hear it squealing, or notice that it's moving more slowly than usual, this could be a sign of a problem with the belt.
Another tip for maintenance is to ensure that the fine mesh filter is free from lint. This is often difficult to spot, but it's important to check it frequently, as a blocked filter can increase the drying time and cause water to leak from the dryer. It is also important to ensure that the heat exchanger does not get blocked by dust. If you do not empty your reservoir after every cycle, or if you've got too much laundry in a cycle, you might hear a buzzing or beeping to remind you to empty it.
