Tumble Dryers Heat Pump – Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes Tumble dryers are heat pump powered household appliances designed to eliminate moisture from textiles like linen, bedding, and clothes. They differ from vented tumblers in that they don't require a vent or hose. Instead they use heated air to absorb moisture. This is then stored in a tank. The air is then heated to dry your laundry. Reduced energy consumption Our tumble dryers are among the largest energy consumers in our homes. They are also an excellent illustration of how a small change to our use can cut the cost of electricity and reduce the impact of our appliances. The heat pump technology in this Miele tumble dryer uses another coolant circuit to cool down the hot air that's exhausted from the drum. The air that is cooled by this method is then recirculated back into the dryer, absorbing heat and condensing moisture back in. This is similar to the way an air conditioner operates. After the heat pump has been able to absorb heat and condensed moisture and is returned to the system, so it can use this energy for subsequent cycles. This is why a heating dryer requires less energy than vented models. Washers And Dryers consumes about 50 percent less power than a vented tumbler similar in size. It's important to note that this lower energy consumption comes at a cost of drying times that are slightly longer. In general, heat pump dryers take about 50-70% longer time to dry laundry than conventional models. Heat pump tumble dryers operate at lower temperatures, and consequently take longer to dry your clothes. Heat pump dryers need a little more maintenance than tumble dryers.

This is a vital step to ensure that your appliance is operating efficiently and consumes the least amount of energy. You can save a significant amount of money on your household's electric bills if you take these easy steps. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that a single person drying two loads of laundry each week with an energy-efficient tumble dryer could save as much as PS564 per year. Find the ENERGY STAR logo on the tumble-dryer you purchase. This is the best way to be sure that you're buying a product that will help reduce your energy bills. To further reduce your household's energy consumption make sure to run washing machines and tumble dryers during times when electricity prices are usually lower.

This means that your clothes won't be piping hot after they come out of the dryer, and don't have to be reheated to eliminate wrinkles. There is also evidence that heat pump dryers, particularly ones with an energy efficiency rating that is high can take up to 50 percent longer to dry your laundry than conventional tumble dryers and this is because your washing machine has to be running at the same time in order to generate enough heat to work. However this is an option to consider if you want your laundry to be as energy efficient as possible. The dryers of heat pumps also contain lint filters that have to be cleaned, along with condenser coils which collect water. It is important to keep these clean to maintain the appliance.
