Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0428846A1] A tumble drier has a control system with a moisture content sensor (6) which is adapted to sense the moisture content of the air flowing from the drum of the tumble drier. The control system comprises members (9) adapted to store a quantity corresponding to the highest moisture content sensed during the drying process, thereafter to compare this quantity with the signal (f) from the moisture-sensing member and to reduce or interrupt the heating of the air current when the difference between the currently sensed moisture content and the maximally sensed moisture content reaches a predetermined value.
