Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2341178A1] The machine (1) has a body (2) enclosing a drum (3) that is driven by a motor and traversed by drying air coming from a drying air circuit (4) having a ventilator. A heat exchanger (11) is positioned in the air circuit and equipped with a condensation water tank (12) to supply condensation water to an internal condensation water reserve (14). The water reserve supplies the condensation water to a washing device (13) of the heat exchanger and to a vapor generator (15) that introduces vapor inside the air circuit. The drum forms an integral part of the air circuit.
