PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a decrease in drying ability of a clothes dryer and a decrease in energy efficiency of a refrigeration cycle device to improve energy efficiency and performance of the clothes dryer.SOLUTION: The clothes dryer includes: a rotary tub 1 which is rotatably provided in a housing 2 and accommodates clothes; an air circulation circuit (air channel 7) which includes the rotary tub 1; and a refrigeration cycle device 50 which conducts heat exchange with drying air circulating in the air channel 7. The refrigeration cycle device 50 has: a compressor 51; a first heat exchanger 52; a receiver 53; an expansion mechanism 54; and a second heat exchanger 55. These constituent elements are connected in this order so as to be circulative. The air channel 7 has: the rotary tub 1; the second heat exchanger 55; the first heat exchanger 52; and a blower (blowing fan 5). These constituent elements are connected in this order so as to be circulative. The receiver 53 has a heat exchange part 56 which conducts heat exchange between a refrigerant between the second heat exchanger 55 and the compressor 51 and a liquid refrigerant in the receiver 53. |
