Heat Pump Tumble Dryer
The tumble dryers that use heat pumps take in moisture from your laundry by using warm air. The heated air is then used to allow it to continue drying.
In contrast to vented dryers, heat pump dryers don't need a vent and you can fit them anywhere in your home. If you live in an apartment they do require a reservoir for water storage.
They're cheaper than other vehicles to run
Heat pump tumble dryers as the name suggests use air heat to dry your clothing. They don't need to create their own heat. This is beneficial for the environment and for your wallet. This is a very efficient method to dry your laundry, and reducing energy consumption by as much as 70% compared with vented models.
The method that heat pump tumble dryers do this is by recycling the hot air that passes through your laundry. The air is then passed through an evaporator, which eliminates the moisture, leaving it in a tank within the tumble dryer. The tank is then heated and the cycle is repeated, absorbing more water from your clothes with each wash. The moisture is separated into two parts which are water and warm dry air. The water is stored in a tank that can be easily emptied underneath the tumble dryer. The warm air is re-used again and again by the evaporator.
While this method of drying takes longer than other types of tumble dryer however, it's much more efficient than conventional methods. Ventilated dryers are extremely energy-intensive and even those which claim to use less energy could still result in massive electricity bills. Tumble dryers with heat pumps have a much lower carbon footprint than traditional tumble dryers. This is vital in a society that is concerned about climate change.
When purchasing a new tumble dryer, you have to consider many factors, including the cost, size and energy efficiency. Ultimately the heat pump tumble dryers are the most eco-friendly and least expensive to run, followed by condenser tumble dryers and vented tumble dryers.
A tumble dryer can ease your life and save you from having to wait for your clothes to dry in the sun or on the washing line. It is also healthier for you when drying your clothes in the rain can cause mildew and mould to develop in your home. This is bad for respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies.
You'll feel more confident in your clothes
Traditionally tumble dryers relied upon hot air blowing across the tumbling clothes to dry them. That worked well enough however, it required much energy - particularly when used for large or frequent loads. The tumble dryer with a heat pump is a more efficient option thanks to innovation in laundry equipment.
A heat pump tumble-dryer works using a closed loop system. They reuse the same hot air that they make use of to dry clothes.
They also have additional features that make them more eco-friendly and easier to use. They're also typically more intelligent than tumble dryers with the most features. If you have Wi-Fi in your home or you are a fan of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant you can control the machine remotely via apps that run on your phone.
Anti-crease functions are becoming more common. This feature gently tumbles your clothes after the washing process, ensuring that creases are less likely to form. Some models also feature delay functions so that you can wash your clothes at a time that is convenient for you. This is a great way to make the most of solar power production at the peak of the day, or to ensure your laundry is finished at a convenient hour.
Tumble dryers with heat pumps also have an energy rating which indicates how much energy it uses per cycle. You can save money on energy bills by choosing one with a high energy efficiency. You may want to search for a dryer with a heat pump with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection so that you can control it with an app on your smartphone or via voice commands using your smart home assistant.
They're greener
Heat pump tumble dryers have become a popular choice as the demand for eco friendly appliances increases. They consume less energy than traditional tumble dryers, and aren't as damaging to fabrics, which makes them more sustainable in the long term. Heat pump tumble dryers are an absolute necessity for modern homes, particularly when you consider the energy savings.
While conventional tumble dryers feature an exhaust vent that releases hot air from the drum, a heat-pump tumble dryer doesn't have to do this as it recycles the heated air. It has a compressor which heats refrigerant, which warms the air, and then passes it through an evaporator to remove moisture from it. This air is then reheated and used to dry your clothes.
The recycled air is a more environmentally friendly method of drying than simply getting it out of your home. It's exactly the same method that your fridge employs to keep it's contents cold.
Heat pump tumble dryers are among the most environmentally friendly models available. They reduce their energy consumption to about 75% compared to traditional tumble dryers, by reusing hot air that is already in the drum. This can help you save a lot of money on your electricity bills and help you to reduce your carbon footprint too.
They are also less rough on your laundry. This is because they have lower drying temperatures, which means you don't have to worry about your favorite jumper shrinking or stretching out of shape in the process.
In addition the heat pump tumble dryers are much easier to move around than vented models, which require a vent pipe installed to let the hot air out. They can be moved from one room to another, or even to the shed or garage. The machine is able to store all moisture in a tank that is easy to empty. This makes it a great option for those who have small spaces or who cannot rely on the weather.
They are easy to move
Consider this: your old vented dryer was just a simple sheet metal box that had four parts (the motor, the timer, and the fan). The tumble dryers that use heat pumps are more complex, with more components and advanced technologies.
They're heavy, but they also don't take as much room as you would think, as they use compressed air instead of venting humid air, like the old tumble dryer. They are simple to move around if you want to make your laundry room more modern or reposition dryers.
Electric heat pump clothes dryers are closed systems, which means that they don't need vent ducting and can be installed in smaller rooms than condenser dryers vented or vented. This makes them ideal for those living in apartments and who don't have the luxury of a dedicated laundry room. They require a constant supply of cool air to function. This makes them suitable for spaces with good ventilation than condenser dryers vented or vented.
