Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2690212A1] A laundry drying machine with heat pump system comprises a process air circuit including a rotating drum (10), a blower (12) and a heater (16), a refrigerant circuit including a compressor (22), a condenser (14), an expansion device (23), an evaporator (18), such condenser and evaporator being in heat exchange relationship with the process air circuit, an auxiliary condenser (20) cooled by an air flow driven by a fan (26), and at least two temperature sensors (T1, T2) placed in the process air circuit and/or in the refrigerant circuit. A method for controlling such laundry drying machine comprises inputting a desired behavior of the laundry drying machine selected in the group consisting of optimized use of energy, overall drying time and fabric care, and controlling the components (12, 16, 22, 26) of the machine according to signals from said two temperature sensors (T1, T2) and according to said desired behavior.
