FRONT LOAD LAUNDRY WASHING MACHINE WITH INCORPORATED DRYING SYSTEM

摘要

Front load washing machine (1) with incorporated drying system and heat pump, maintaining the advantage of performing the washing and drying within the size i.e. the standard overall size for the machines in question. Besides the washing system, the machine comprises a drying system with a heat pump circuit adapted to condense the air extracted from the washing tub (3) via a condensation group (10) and subsequently reintroduce the air into the tub (3) after heating it via a heating group (11) of the heat pump circuit. Said condensation and heating steps are actuated by special exchangers arranged centrally and above the washing tub (3) and connected thereto through a series of mouthpieces or fittings for delivery and return, and ventilator means (16) for the circulation of air. Preferably the washing machine is provided with an intermediate filter (19) for collecting impurities. A collection container (17) diverts the condensate water towards the pump of the machine.
