Clothes treating apparatus and operating method thereof |
摘要 |
A clothes treating apparatus including a drum, an air suction duct forming a flow path of air introduced into the drum, an auxiliary fan introducing air into the air suction duct, an air exhaustion duct forming a flow path of air exhausted from the drum, a main fan exhausting air to the air exhaustion duct from the drum, a condenser heating air sucked into the drum through the air suction duct, an evaporator cooling air exhausted from the drum through the air exhaustion duct, and a compressor and an expander forming a heat pump together with the condenser and the evaporator. The method includes measuring a discharge side pressure of the compressor, and comparing the measured discharge side pressure with a maximum allowable pressure, and determining that the auxiliary fan does not operate when the discharge side pressure is more than the maximum allowable pressure. |

1. An operating method for a clothes treating apparatus comprising:
a drum configured to accommodate therein an object to be dried; an air suction duct configured to form a flow path of air introduced into the drum; an auxiliary fan configured to introduce air into the air suction duct; an air exhaustion duct configured to form a flow path of air exhausted from the drum; a main fan configured to exhaust air to the air exhaustion duct from the drum; a condenser disposed to heat air sucked into the drum through the air suction duct; an evaporator disposed to cool air exhausted from the drum through the air exhaustion duct; and a compressor and an expander configured to constitute a heat pump together with the condenser and the evaporator, the method comprising:
measuring a discharge side pressure (Pd) of the compressor;comparing the measured discharge side pressure (Pd) with a maximum allowable pressure (Pm), and determining that the auxiliary fan does not operate when the discharge side pressure (Pd) is more than the maximum allowable pressure (Pm); andincreasing a rotation speed of the main fan if it is determined that the auxiliary fan does not operate. |
