Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014198303A1] The invention relates to a laundry dryer (2) and a method of collecting and draining condensate in a laundry dryer (2). The dryer (2) comprises an apparatus cabinet (48) and a removable condensate tank (40) adapted to be inserted into and extracted from the apparatus cabinet (48). The removable condensate tank (40) comprises a tank casing, a tank opening in the tank casing for passing condensate therethrough, and a filter element adapted to filter the condensate passing through the tank opening from lint. A mounting arrangement is arranged for holding the filter element at or in the tank casing in a filter position. The filter element has the filter position and an inactive position, wherein in the filter position the filter element is positioned relative to the tank opening such that the condensate exiting the tank casing is filtered. In the inactive position the filter element is positioned relative to the tank opening such that the condensate entering or exiting through the tank opening is not filtered. In a state, where the condensate tank (40) is fully inserted in the apparatus cabinet (48), the filter element is removed from the filter position and/or is in the inactive position relative to the tank opening.
