Tumble Dryers Heat Pump - Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes

The heat pump tumble dryers are appliances used in the home that remove moisture from textiles like bedding, clothes, and even linen. These tumble dryers differ from vented tumblers because they do not require a hose or vent.

Instead they make use of hot air to absorb water and store it in a tank. The air is then heated to allow drying of your laundry.

Energy consumption is reduced

When it comes to appliances, tumble dryers are the biggest factor in our household's energy consumption. However, they're also a great example of how even small changes in our usage can reduce our electricity bills, and also reduce the environmental impact of our appliances.

This Miele tumble dryer's heat pump technology employs an additional cooling circuit to cool the hot air that is expelled from the drum. The coolant that's created this way is then recirculated back into the dryer, absorbing heat and condensing the moisture back into. This is similar to how an air conditioner functions.

Once the heat pumps has been able to absorb heat, and then condensed the moisture it is then fed back to the system so that it can reuse the energy in future cycles. This is why a heat pump dryer consumes less energy than vented models. The model is able to use 50% less power than a vented tumbler of comparable size.

It's worth noting that this lower energy consumption is at the cost of slightly longer drying times. In general, heat pump dryers take approximately 50-70% longer to dry clothes than conventional models. This is due to the fact that heat pump tumble dryers work at lower temperatures, so it takes longer for your clothes to dry.

Another thing to keep in mind is that heat pump dryers need a bit more maintenance than other tumble dryers. They require having the condenser coils and lint filters cleaned on a regular basis. This is a vital step to ensure that your appliance operates efficiently and uses the least amount of energy.

You can save a lot of money on your household's electric bills if you take these steps. According to the Energy Saving Trust, a single person could save 564 dollars a year using a energy-efficient tumble dryer for two loads of laundry per week.

When purchasing a new tumbler, look for one with an ENERGY STAR label. This is the best way to be sure that you're purchasing an appliance that will reduce your energy bills. Try to run your washing machine and tumble dryer at off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower.

It is also true that heat pump dryers - particularly ones with an energy efficiency rating that is high can take up to 50 percent longer to dry a load than traditional tumble dryers, and this is due to the fact that your washing machine needs to be running at the same time in order to generate enough heat to function. This is a good trade-off if you are looking to make your laundry as efficient as it can be.

It's also important to note that heat pump dryers come with lint screens which need to be kept clear, as do condenser coils which will collect some water, so it's best to keep them clear in order to preserve the performance of the appliance. It's easy to accomplish this by opening the door to the dryer and then removing the lint filter. The lint filter can be cleaned by using a damp cloth. It's also an excellent idea to give the filter housing a wipe down, as it could have gathered some lint from repeated usage also.
