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

Tumble dryers with heat pump are powered appliances that are designed to eliminate moisture from textiles such as clothes, bedding and linen. They differ from vented tumble dryers in the sense that they don't require a vent or hose.

Instead they make use of heated air to absorb moisture. This is then stored in a tank. The air is then heated to allow it to continue drying your clothes.

Energy consumption is reduced

When it is about appliances, our tumble dryers are a major source of energy consumption. They're also a great illustration of how making small adjustments to our use can help us reduce electric bills as well as reduce the environmental impact of our appliances.

This Miele tumble dryer's heat pump technology makes use of another cooling circuit to cool the hot air that is exhausted from the drum. The air that is cooled by this method is then recirculated through the dryer, absorbing heat and condensing the moisture back into. This is similar to how an air conditioner operates.

After the heat pump has absorbed warmth, and condensed the moisture, they are fed back into the system so that it can reuse the energy for future cycles. This is why a heating dryer requires less energy than vented models. This model uses about 50 percent less energy than a vented tumbler of similar size.

It's important to remember that this reduced energy consumption is at the cost of slightly longer drying times. Drying laundry with heat pump dryers is around 50-70% slower than conventional models. The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump operate at lower temperatures, and consequently take longer to dry your clothes.

Another thing to bear in mind is that heat pump dryers need some more care than other tumble dryers. Particularly, they must maintain their lint filters and condenser coils maintained regularly. This is a vital step to ensure that your appliance runs efficiently and consumes the smallest amount of energy.

The good news is that if you follow these simple steps, you could make a a significant difference to your household's electricity costs. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that one person drying two loads of laundry each week using an energy efficient tumble dryer could save up to PS564 over the course of a year.

Look for the ENERGY STAR logo on the new tumble-dryer. This is the best way to ensure you are buying an appliance that can help lower your energy bills. To further minimise your household energy usage, try to run washing machines and tumble dryers in off-peak times, when electricity rates are typically lower.

Drying time is longer

Heat pump tumble dryers may take a little longer to dry due to the fact that they use lower temperatures. This is because of the way the technology works: while traditional tumble dryers release hot air into the atmosphere to evaporate the moisture from your clothes while heat pump dryers draw the water from the drum as condensation and keep it in the tank (or drain if you've connected an optional hose). This means that your clothes are not immediately hot after coming out of the dryer, and do not require reheating to get rid of wrinkles.

There is also evidence that heat pump dryers - especially ones with an energy efficiency rating of high can take up to 50% longer to dry a load than conventional tumble dryers, Tumble Dryers Heat Pump which is due to the fact that your washing machine has to be running at the same time in order to produce enough heat to function. This is an excellent trade-off when you want to make your laundry as efficient as it is.

The dryers with heat pumps also contain lint filters that have to be cleaned, as do condenser coils that will take in water. It is important to keep these clean to maintain the appliance. It's easy to do this by opening the door to the dryer and removing the lint filter. The lint filter can be cleaned using a damp cloth. It is also recommended to give the filter housing a bit of attention, since it has probably accumulated particles of lint over the years.

If you're looking to dry your laundry a little faster, we recommend one of our condenser tumble-dryers. They'll dry your wash a little faster than a traditional heat pump. They don't require a vented pipe to work and can be set up within any room in your home. They'll still require a constant supply of cool air in order to function, however you'll require an area that's adequately ventilated.

Lower temperatures

The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump are gentler on your clothes since they use lower temperatures. This is particularly important for delicate clothing items. The higher temperatures can make them shrink or develop tiny holes. In addition, this gentler method means that your clothes will last longer and look their best for much longer.

The heat pump tumble dryer uses less energy than other tumble dryers, such as vented or condenser models. This will result in significant savings on your electric bills particularly if you switch from peak hours to off-peak times.

Unlike a vented dryer that utilizes a hot air exhaust to let out the moisture the heat pump tumble dryers recycle and reuse this water, transferring it back into the drum, where it is extracted by the evaporator. This is extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly which is the reason why this type of tumbler is an ideal option for your home.

As well as being more efficient They are also more efficient. Heat pump tumble dryers are extremely quiet, which makes them perfect for families who want to reduce their energy bills as well as do their part for the environment. This is a further advantage over condenser and vented dryers, which can be quite noisy when operating.

Some people might be shocked by the fact that tumble dryers with heat pumps employ lower temperatures. The lower temperatures used in heat pump tumble dryers can also make the cycles take a bit longer than the normal.

Another thing to bear in mind is that when you open the door of your tumble dryer during the process the appliance will need to re-heat the air inside, which can delay drying time. It is best to wait until the end of the cycle before opening the door of a heat-pump tumble dryer. It is also a good idea to not open the lid of your washing machine while it is running. This can increase energy consumption and not save you any money.
