Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for heating air in a clothes dryer, a washing/drying machine (1) or a dishwasher, wherein a resistive heating element (5) made of carbon fiber is used. The heating element is a wire (5) that provides thermal energy by electric dissipation and irradiation throughout the range of air heating temperatures. The heater (10) is housed in a shell (21) also coated with or made of carbon, thus forming a radiating cavity and increasing the thermal efficiency of the system. The invention also relates to a household appliance implementing the heating according to the method.
