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

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

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

Reduced Energy Consumption

When it comes to appliances, tumble dryers are a major contributor to our household energy consumption. They also provide an excellent example of how small changes to our usage can help reduce the cost of electricity and reduce the impact of our appliances.

This Miele tumble dryer's heat pump technology makes use of a second cooling circuit to cool the hot air that is removed from the drum. The air is cooled this manner, and then recirculated back into the dryer. It absorbs heat and condenses the moisture. This is similar to the way an air conditioner operates.

Once the heat pump has been able to absorb heat and condensed moisture, it's fed back into the system, so it can use this energy for subsequent cycles. This is why dryers with heat pumps use less energy than vented models. In fact, this model uses around 50% less energy than similar vented tumblers.

It's important to remember that this reduced energy consumption comes at the expense of drying times that are slightly longer. In general the heat pump dryer takes approximately 50-70% longer to dry clothes over conventional models. Tumble dryers with heat pumps operate at lower temperatures, and consequently take longer to dry your clothes.

Another thing to bear in mind is that heat pump dryers need a bit more maintenance than other tumble dryers. In particular, they should have their lint filter and condenser coils cleaned regularly. This is a vital step to ensure that your appliance runs efficiently and consumes the least amount of energy.

You can save a significant amount of dollars on your household's electric bills if you take these simple steps. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that a single 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.

When purchasing a new tumble dryer, look for one with an ENERGY STAR label. This is the best way to be sure that you're buying a product that will reduce your energy bill. To further reduce your household's energy use try running tumble dryers and washing machines in off-peak times, when electricity prices are usually lower.

Longer Drying Time

Tumble dryers with a heat pump could take a little longer to dry than vented models because they employ lower temperatures to get the job done. This is because of the way the technology works: whereas traditional tumble dryers eject hot air into the air to evaporate the moisture inside your clothes and then extract that water from the drum as condensation and keep it in a tank (or drain when you've connected an additional hose). That means that your clothes won't be left piping hot after it exits the machine and doesn't need to be heated up again to ease wrinkles, which can extend its life span.

It is also true that heat pump dryers, particularly those with an energy efficiency rating that is high can take up to 50% longer to dry your laundry than conventional tumble dryers which is due to the fact that your washing machine must be running at the same time in order to generate enough heat to function. However, this is an option to consider if you want your laundry to be as energy efficient as is possible.

The dryers with heat pumps also have lint filters that need to be cleaned, as do condenser coils that will hold water. It is essential to keep these in good condition in order to keep the appliance running smoothly. This can be accomplished by opening the door of the dryer, and then removing the screen that filters lint. The filter can be cleaned with a damp cloth. It's also recommended to give the filter housing a wipe down as it will probably have gathered some lint from repeated usage, too.

If you need to dry your laundry a little faster, we suggest one of our condenser tumble dryers. They will dry your laundry a bit faster than a heat pump model. These models don't require a vented hose to work, and you can put them in any space in your home that you choose. They will still need an ongoing supply of cool air to function, you'll require an area that's adequately ventilated.

Lower Temperatures

The lower temperatures used in the tumble dryers that use heat pumps make them more gentle to your clothes. This is especially crucial for delicate pieces of clothing, since higher temperatures can cause them to shrink or develop tiny holes. This method of gentleness will also ensure that your clothes last longer and look the best.

This also means that the heat pump tumble dryer will consume less energy than other kinds of tumble dryers that are vented or condenser models. This will result in significant savings on your electricity bill particularly if you switch from peak to off-peak hours.

Unlike a vented dryer that utilizes a hot air exhaust to release the moisture, heat pump tumble dryers recycle and reuse the water, before transferring it back into the drum where it is extracted through the evaporator. This is extremely eco-friendly and energy efficient, which is why this type of tumble dryer is an ideal choice for homes.

The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump are, in addition to being more energy efficient, are also extremely quiet. They are ideal for families who want to reduce their energy bills while helping the environment. This is a benefit over vented and condenser dryers which can be noisy.

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

You should also be aware that when you open your tumble dryer's heat pump door during the course of the cycle it will need to heat the air inside which will speed up the drying time. It is best to wait until the end of a cycle before opening the door of a heating pump tumble dryer. It is also a good idea to not open the lid of your washer while it is still running. This can increase the energy consumption, but cost you money.

Another alternative is to relocate it to a different area, such as your bedroom or living room in which the noise won't be so perceptible.
