Abstract (en)

A home laundry drier (1) provided with a laundry oontainer (3,5) for housing the laundry to be dried, and with a hot-air generator (7) for circulating a stream of hot air into the laundry container (3,5); the hot-air generator (7) comprising an air recirculating conduit (8) connected at both ends to the laundry container (3,5), and a heat exchanger (10) located along the recirculating conduit (8) to cool the airflow (f) from the laundry container (3,5) and condense the surplus moisture in the airflow (f) ; the heat exchanger (10) being provided with a water canister (14) which collects the distilled water produced by condensation of the surplus moisture in the airflow (f) from the laundry container (3,5), with an in-pressure electric boiler (15) located above the heat exchanger (10) and connected to the recirculating conduit (8), with a electric pump (16) located above the water canister (14) and capable to suck the distilled water from the water canister (14) and to pipe it to the electric-boiler (15), and with a central control unit (12) which determines the flow rate of the steam coming out from the electric boiler (15) and controls the electric pump (16) so as that the flow rate of the water supplied to the electric boiler (15) is almost equal to the flow rate of the steam coming out from the electric boiler (15).
