<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce vibration and noise during a drying operation to improve performance of a heat pump device. <P>SOLUTION: The clothing dryer is equipped with a motor 3 for rotationally driving a rotary drum 1, a heat pump device 6 in which a compressor 7, a radiator 8, throttle means 9, and a heat sink 10 are connected by a pipe line 11 such that a coolant circulates, a blower fan 12 for blowing drying air into the rotary drum 1, and an air-blow pathway 13 for circulating the drying air discharged from the rotary drum 1 through the heat sink 10 via the radiator 8 to the rotary drum 1. The motor 3 and the compressor 7 are installed below the rotary drum 1 and on the base part of the body 2. The motor 3 and the compressor 7 are arranged at positions almost symmetric with respect to the vertical line including the gravity center 1a of the rotary drum 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
