Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0484607A1] The invention relates to a method for washing and drying laundry and to a device for applying this. The method involves circulating the washing or rinsing water and the drying air radially in the drum. The circulation of the water and air takes place through the hollow shaft (21) of the drum (10). The water is introduced by means of a nozzle (41) connected to the suction basket located in the sump of the tub (20) by means of a conduit (40) serving a pump (42), heating elements (43), a thermometer probe (44) and a sprayer (45) for the metering and introduction of detergent products. The air is introduced by means of a cowl (31) surrounding the water-introduction nozzle (41) and of a pipe (30) connected to the tub (20) and serving a hygrometer probe (32), a water injector (33), a blower (34), a condenser (35), heating elements (36) and a thermal probe (37). <IMAGE>
