<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a washing/drying machine for efficiently performing a drying operation without losing a large amount of heat, and also to provide a drying machine. <P>SOLUTION: Processes of the drying operation includes: a heating circulation drying process for dehumidifying circulating air by air condensing in an outer tub 20 and the inner wall of a circulation duct 30, while allowing warm air to pass through an inner tub 10, evaporating moisture from laundry, and heating the outer tub 20 and the circulation duct 30 in a state where a heater 42 is operated; and a heating discharge drying process for allowing external air to be taken-in from an intake valve 13 into the circulation duct 30 in a state where the heater 42 is operated, and discharging the same amount of air by way of a drain hose. The intake valve 13 is arranged at a position to take-in heat to be leaked from the heater 42 when the heater 42 is operated in the drying operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
