Tumble dryers heat pump (qooh.me) - Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes

Tumble dryers with heat pump are powered household appliances designed to remove the moisture from fabrics like clothes, bedding and linen. They are different to vented tumble dryers in the sense that they don't require vents or hose.

Instead they use hot air to absorb the moisture and store it in a tank. The air is then heated to allow it to continue drying your clothes.

Energy consumption is reduced

Our tumble dryers are among the largest energy consumers in our homes. But, they're an excellent example of how even small changes in our usage can help us cut down on the cost of electricity, and also reduce the environmental impact of our appliances.

The heat pump technology used in this Miele tumble dryer uses a second coolant circuit to cool the hot air that's exhausted from the drum. The coolant that's created by this method is then recirculated back into the dryer, absorbing warmth and condensing it back into. This is similar to how an air conditioner operates.

Once the heat pumps has taken in heat and condensed the moisture and then re-introduced into the system, so that it can reuse the energy in future cycles. This is why dryers with heat pumps use less energy than vented models. This model consumes about 50% less power than a vented tumbler of comparable size.

This reduced energy consumption is offset by slightly longer drying times. In general the heat pump dryer takes approximately 50-70% longer to dry laundry than conventional dryers. Tumble dryers with heat pumps operate at lower temperatures and take longer to dry your clothes.

Another thing to keep in mind is that heat pump dryers require some more care than other tumble dryers. They require having the condenser coils and lint filters cleaned regularly. This is a crucial step to ensure that your appliance is operating efficiently and consumes the least amount of energy.

You can save a lot of dollars on your household's electric bills if you take these steps. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that anyone who is able to dry two loads of laundry per week with an energy efficient tumble dryer could save as much as PS564 a year.

Look for the ENERGY STAR logo on a new tumble-dryer. This is the best way to be sure that you're buying a product which will lower your energy bill. Try to run your washing machine and tumble dryer at times when electricity costs are lower.

The drying time is longer

Tumble dryers that use a heat pump might take a little longer to dry than vented models due to the fact that they employ lower temperatures to get the job done.

This means that your clothes won't be piping hot after they come out of the dryer and Dryers heat pump don't have to be reheated to remove wrinkles.

You'll also find that heat pump dryers - particularly ones with an energy efficiency rating of high - can take up to 50% longer to dry your laundry than traditional tumble dryers, and this is due to the fact that your washing machine must be running at the same time in order to produce enough heat to function. This is an excellent trade-off if you're looking to make your laundry as efficient as it is.

It's also important to remember that heat pump dryers have screens for lint that must be kept clear, as do condenser coils, which collect some water, so it's best to keep them clear in order to preserve the performance of the appliance. You can easily accomplish this by opening the door to the dryer and pulling out the lint filter. This can then be wiped down using a damp cloth. It's also recommended to give the filter housing a wash down since it may have gathered some lint from repeated usage also.

Lower temperatures

Additionally, this more gentle approach means that your clothes will last longer and look their best for much longer.

This also means that the tumble dryer with a heat pump will consume less energy than other types of tumble dryers that are vented or condenser models. This will result in substantial savings on your energy bills, particularly when you use off-peak electricity hours.

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 washer when it is still running. This will increase energy consumption and cost you money.
