Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2341181A1] The method involves increasing temperature of air of a drying air circuit (3) and coolant of a refrigeration circuit (6) of a drying cycle of the linen with introduction of vapor into the drying air circuit, where the vapor is produced by a vapor generator (12). A fan (5) of the refrigeration circuit is operated during the introduction of vapor for increasing temperature of the air of the drying air circuit and the cooling agent of the refrigeration circuit, where a drum is driven in rotation by a motor and traversed by drying air coming from the drying air circuit. An independent claim is also included for a linen drying machine with a heat pump, comprising a body.
