PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable drying process to be completed so that an initially set drying rate is obtained within a target time.SOLUTION: Before staring a drying process, necessary dehumidification amount H for clothes is detected by necessary dehumidification amount detection means 47e, and a drying rate increase value &Dgr;K of clothes at a prescribed time ti interval is sequentially calculated, sequentially, at the time of drying process execution by drying rate increase value calculation means 47f. Then, when the drying rate increase value &Dgr;K at an arbitrary time calculated before exceeds a drying rate increase value S&Dgr;K shown by reference data S according to the detected necessary dehumidification amount more than a tolerance value Sk for control, drying control means 47g decreases the capacity of a heat pump 37. When the drying rate increase value &Dgr;K at an arbitrary time falls below the drying rate increase value S&Dgr;K shown by the reference data S lower than the tolerance value Sk for control, the drying control means increases the capacity of the heat pump 37. |
