Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011154336A1] The present invention relates to a laundry dryer (1) comprising drum (2) wherein the laundry is placed, a drying duct (3) wherein the process air is circulated, a fan (4) providing the circulation of process air in the drying duct (3), a heater (5) that heats the process air, a condenser (6) providing the dehumidification of the process air and a thermoelectric heat pump (7) disposed in the drying duct (3), having a cold side (8), a hot side (9) that condenses by cooling and afterwards heats the process air passing thereover and an inlet opening (10) that provides entry of the process air into the hot side (9). A divider (11) is disposed in the drying duct (3) to divide the drying duct (3) into two, as the first drying duct (3') and the second drying duct (3"), whereby process air flowing in the first drying duct (3') is guided directly to the hot side (9).
