Abstract (en)
Laundry drying machine (1) comprising a rotatable laundry drum (3) which is designed to rotate about an longitudinal axis (6), an electric motor (9), which is mechanically connected with the rotatable laundry drum (3) for rotating said rotatable laundry drum (3) about its longitudinal axis (6); hot-air generator (11) configured to supply a heated airflow to the drum (3) during a drying cycle; an electronic control system (16) configured for: providing a signal (S) indicative of a torque (TE) that said electric motor (9) provides to the rotatable laundry drum (3) during the drying cycle; comparing the sensed signal (S) with a prefixed comparison signal value (THR) associated to a determined laundry moisture corresponding to a desired final moisture (DLM); and stopping the drying cycle based on the outcome of such comparison.
