Abstract (en)

The invention concerns a condensation clothes dryer with a heat pump and a closed process air circuit that proceeds from a dryer drum and returns to it via an evaporator, blower and a condenser as well as an auxiliary resistance heater. The heat pump circuit for the cold-start, heating and operating phase is automatically adapted without program-controlled changes in the heat output and without overload protection as follows: The auxiliary resistance heater consists of one or more semiconductor resistors that heat the coolant for the condenser of the heat pump circuit.
