Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a laundry drying machine (1) comprising a laundry chamber (9) suitable for receiving the laundry to be dried and an air stream circuit (10) for circulating an air stream through the laundry chamber (9). The air stream circuit (10) comprises a dehumidifying unit (23; 123) for dehumidifying the moist air of the air stream coming from the laundry chamber (9) and a heating unit (21; 121) for heating up the dehumidified air leaving the dehumidifying unit (23; 123) and conveyable into the laundry chamber (9). A first air circulation path (25) connects the laundry chamber (9) to the dehumidifying unit (23; 123) and a second air circulation path (26) connects the heating unit (21) to the laundry chamber (9). The machine (1) comprises an auxiliary heat transferring circuit (50) suitable for transferring heat from the first air circulation path (25) to the second air circulation path (26).
