Method of saving energy in domestic appliances and appliance with improved energy efficiency

摘要

A clothes dryer comprises a zeolite adsorption system for improved energy efficiency. The system comprises a closed container (K) of zeolite and water in a vacuum. Heating and cooling effects are obtained due to the adsorption and desorption processes and may be used at various time in the drying cycle. This novel application of adsorption technology requires little space inside the appliance and has a low cost. <IMAGE>
