Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a laundry dryer which comprises: a laundry storing compartment (17) for receiving laundry to be treated, a front wall with a front loading opening, a rear frame (72) including a compartment back wall (74), a rear wall (94) forming at least a portion of a back cover (95) of the dryer, a rear channel (20b, 20c) for guiding process air at the backside of the laundry storing compartment (17) to the laundry storing compartment (17), a steam generation unit for generating steam for laundry steam treatment, and a nozzle unit (88) having one or a plurality of nozzle outlets (92) for injecting steam generated in the steam generation unit into the laundry storing compartment (17). The compartment back wall (74) and said rear wall (94) define said rear channel (20b, 20c). The compartment back wall (74) comprises a plurality of back wall openings (84) designed for passing process air from the rear channel (20b, 20c) into the laundry storing compartment (17). The nozzle outlet (92) of the nozzle unit (88) is arranged between said compartment back wall (74) and said rear wall (94) inside said rear channel (20b, 20c) so that steam ejected from the nozzle outlet (92) passes through at least one back wall opening (84) of the compartment back wall (74) before entering the laundry storing compartment (17).
