Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004035906A2] The invention relates to a device (1) for supplying moisture into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer. The device (1) comprises a receiving area (3) for receiving liquid and a liquid-impermeable shell (2) which surrounds said receiving area (3) and which comprises at least one outlet for transferring moisture. The device (1) is characterised in that the shell (2) is heat-impermeable, at least from the outside in the direction of the receiving area (3). The invention also relates to the use of said device (1) and a method for supplying moisture into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer, characterised in that a device (1) in which liquid is received is inserted into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer and heat is produced by the heating device of the tumble dryer. Said heat coverts the liquid in the device (1) into steam for moisture and the thus obtained moisture is discharged into the inner chamber of the dryer via at least one outlet.
