Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a laundry treatment machine, in particular dryer or washing machine having drying function, comprising: a laundry storing compartment; a heat exchanger (28) adapted to transfer heat between a refrigerant contained within the heat exchanger and process air passing through the heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger has an outlet (29) where the process air exits the heat exchanger; a blower (30) adapted to convey the process air in a loop through the laundry storing compartment and the heat exchanger (28), wherein the blower has a suction inlet (19) and is arranged downstream the heat exchanger with respect to the process air flow direction; an air channel (16) adapted to guide the process air from the heat exchanger outlet (29) to the blower suction inlet (19); and a flow guiding and partition unit (40) arranged within the air channel (16) and comprising at least one flow partition wall (42, 44, 46). Preferably a front edge of at least one of the flow partition walls or of each flow partition wall (42, 44, 46) is arranged facing and close to or intersecting the area of the heat exchanger outlet (29).
