Abstract (en)

Household appliance with drying function (G), developed by the present invention, comprises at least one drum (1); a drying system comprising at least one condenser (2), at least one air blower (3) and at least one heater (4); at least one air canal (5b) wherein part of the air, which moves out condensed from the condenser (2) and is diverted to the heater (4) by means of the air blower (3), returns to the condenser (2) inlet. Lightly humid, saturated and cool air moving out from the condenser (2) is diverted, through said air canal (5b), to the condenser (2) inlet where it mixes with the humid and hot air coming from the drum (1). In this way, it is ensured that the hot and humid air coming from the drum (1) cools and condenses more efficiently in the condenser (2).
