PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve drying performance in clothes drying using a heat pump circuit.SOLUTION: A clothes treatment apparatus includes: a rotary drum 3 for accommodating clothes; a blower fan 15 for exhausting air inside the rotary drum 3; an air circulation path 7 for circulating the exhausted air in the rotary drum; and a heat source device for cooling and heating the circulation air passing through the air circulation path 7. The heat source device includes: a compressor 18 for compressing a cooling medium; an evaporator 16 for cooling and dehumidifying the circulation air; a condenser 17 for heating the dehumidified circulation air; a capillary tube 19 for guiding the cooling medium from the condenser 17 to the evaporator 16; and a suction pipe 20 for guiding the cooling medium from the evaporator 16 to the compressor 18. By joining the capillary tube 19 and the surface of the suction pipe 20, dehumidification capability improves, and clothes drying performance improves without changing the size of a heat exchanger, the air flow of the circulation air and the rotation number of the compressor. |
