There are many types of clothes dryers on the market. I will introduce the classification and characteristics of them.
Simple clothes dryers are cheap. But it has simple drying structure. It flows through hot air. It is inefficient. The drying effect is not ideal. Yet the requirements for placement are low.
The working principle of the exhaust dryer is the same as that of the simple dryer. All are through the hot air flow way to dry clothes. Clothes in the drum in the continuous rolling, while the hot air constantly blowing into the inner drum belt. Absorb the moisture of clothes. In fact, the nature of the process is similar to that of a simple clothes dryer. The whole drying process is in the state of heating. Energy consumption will be high. Of course, the price of this dryer is similar to that of a simple dryer.
The water condensing dry clothes mode is mostly used in washing and drying integrated washing machine. It is less used in a separate dryer. It uses cold water to continuously condense and dry the hot air produced during the drying process. It then uses the hot air to absorb moisture from the clothing to achieve the drying effect. This kind of clothes dryer work on the water is relatively high. The entire drying process uses more water than even the laundry process.
Some clothes dryers use air condensation drying technology. First, the machine pumps in air. Then the air will be heated and blown into the inner tube to contact the clothing. The hot air will turn into cold and damp air because of the moisture on the clothes. The wet cold air passes through the condensing system. It becomes dry cold air again. The cold dry air is heated again. It continues the process. The moisture on the clothing is separated out through the condenser. It will constantly circulate the whole process. The moisture will be continuously drawn out of the garment. It achieves a dry garment effect. Air condensing clothes dryer has been able to achieve relatively ideal dry clothes effect. It can't achieve the ultimate. The dryer isn't expensive either.
Heat pump air condensing dryer (heat pump dryer). Most high-end clothes dryers use heat pump air condensing dry clothes technology. The drying effect is the best of all drying methods. The basic principle is the same as that of the condensing dryer. The biggest improvement of the heat pump dryer is that it does not require external circulation of heat. The heat from the entire drying process circulates only within the machine. The heat pump system can recover the heat generated during the drying process for recycling. The whole drying process belongs to a closed - loop drying process. Hot and cold air circulates in the machine. It won't have any effect on the surrounding environment. They use less power when the same amount of clothing is dried. That's where it's more affordable. But the heat pump dryer costs more.
These are the general types of clothes dryers and their respective characteristics.
