Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0743389A1] Clothes drying machine comprising an arrangement provided for condensing the moisture out of the drying air, said arrangement being provided with at least a spray nozzle (7) ejecting a jet of atomized water that intercepts the flow of hot drying air passing through said condensing arrangement, the latter being also provided with means adapted to detect a failure in the inflow of the water required for condensation. In a preferred manner, the clothes drying machine is provided with pressure switch means (8) capable of measuring the pressure that builds up at a point (9) located below the lowest portion of the vessel, and is arranged so as to be capable of detecting two successive values of the pressure building up at said lowest point during a pre-established period of time, so as to compare said two pressure values and generate a corresponding signal in the case that the second pressure value detected at the end of said period exceeds the first pressure value detected at the beginning of said period by an extent that is greater than a pre-established value. <IMAGE>
