How Do Condenser Dryers Work?

How Condenser Dryers Work:

1. Moisture Extraction:
Condenser dryers start the drying process by pulling in air from the surrounding environment. This air is then heated by an electric heating element, which raises its temperature.

2.Humidity Removal:
The warm air is circulated within the drum where your wet clothes are placed. As the air passes through the laundry load, it absorbs moisture from the damp clothing.

3.Condensation Process:
Unlike vented dryers that expel humid air outside, condenser dryers utilize a unique condensation process. The moist air inside the drum is directed to a heat exchanger or condenser unit. This unit cools the air, causing the moisture to condense into water droplets.

4.Water Collection:
The condensed water is collected in a reservoir or a removable container located within the dryer. Users need to empty this container regularly to ensure the continued efficiency of the dryer. Some condenser dryers also offer the option for the condensed water to be pumped out through a hose, allowing for continuous drainage.

5.Reheating and Recycling:
After the moisture is extracted, the now-dry air is reheated by the heating element before being circulated back into the drum. This process continues until the desired level of dryness is achieved.
