CLOTHES DRYER

摘要

A clothes dryer has a heat pump (48). In drying operation, that portion of an airflow path (41) which is between a rotating container (3) and an evaporator (44) is opened and air in the rotating container (3) is circulated through the airflow path (41). In cooling the place where the dryer is placed, a discharge airflow path (55) running from that portion of the airflow path (41) which is between the rotating container and the evaporator (44) to the outside of the dryer is opened, and air introduced from an air inlet (59) is passed through the evaporator (44) and discharged from an discharge airflow path (55), and at the same time, a condenser (45) is cooled by a cooling device (60).
