Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2990524A1] The present invention relates to a laundry dryer including: a casing (2), rotatably supporting a drum (3) for receiving a load to be dried, said drum being apt to rotate around a rotational axis (R), said casing including a basement (24) defining a bottom surface (24bs); a process air conduit (18) in fluid communication with the drum (3) where a process air stream is apt to flow; a heat pump system (30) having a heat pump circuit in which a refrigerant can flow, said heat pump circuit including a first heat exchanger (31) where the refrigerant is cooled off and the process air is heated up, and a second heat exchanger (32) where the refrigerant is heated up and the process air is cooled off; said first heat exchanger (31) and/or said second heat exchanger (32) being apt to perform heat exchange between said refrigerant flowing in said heat pump circuit and said process air stream; and a compressor (33) to compress the refrigerant exiting said first heat exchanger (31) and located within said basement (24); a motor (50) apt to rotate said drum (3) and at least a motor support (53) apt to support a component of said motor (50); a compressor air conduit (150) allowing compressor air to flow therethrough from the inside of said casing (2) to the outside of the same or vice versa; said compressor air conduit (150) including a first aperture (54) for compressor air realized at a portion of said motor support (53) facing said compressor (33) and a second aperture (55) for said compressor air realized at said bottom surface (24bs) of said basement (24).
