Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1852534A1] A washer/dryer includes a fan (F) connected to a condensing duct (C) so as to create a stream of moist air coming from the tank (T) through an air entrance (A), as well as a load bay (B) for detergent/additives provided with water jets (W), controlled by an electrovalve, that is connected to the tank (T) through a connecting pipe and a vent pipe (V), as well as an expansion chamber (E) connected to the load bay (B) and to the condensing duct (C) through a return pipe (S). In this way, a greater condensing effectiveness is achieved thanks to the additional condensing circuit (V, B, E, S) that operates in parallel with the primary condensing circuit, resulting in a reduction of drying time and power consumption.
