WASHING MACHINE

摘要

A washer is provided to improve drying efficiency and to dry laundry with low temperature air by regulating a bypass valve for controlling air flow. A washer comprises a duct(120), a heat pump(130), and a bypass unit(140). The duct is communicated with a drum unit(110), and guides air. The heat pump has an evaporator(131), a compressor(132), and a condenser(133). The evaporator eliminates moisture from air. The compressor compresses a coolant which is passed through the evaporator. The condenser discharges heat of the coolant. The bypass unit is branched from a front end unit of the condenser to the duct and connected to the drum unit. The bypass unit has a bypass duct(141), and a bypass valve(142). The bypass duct is branched from the front end unit of the condenser. The bypass valve is installed on the bypass duct, and controls air flow passing through the bypass duct.
