Abstract (en)

A front-loading laundry washing and drying machine, comprises: a cabinet (2) having a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls (5a, 5b) and an upper wall, the cabinet (2) housing an oscillating assembly that comprises a treatment tub (14) having a substantially horizontal longitudinal axis (A); a drying circuit comprising a heat pump inside the cabinet (2), the heat pump including an evaporator device, a condenser device, a compressor, and a fan for forcing a flow of air through the evaporator device and the condenser device. At least the evaporator device and the condenser device are housed inside the cabinet (2) above the treatment tub (14), the evaporator device and the condenser device each including a heat exchanger (122, 123) having a body configured for being traversed by the forced flow of air. The heat exchanger (122, 123) of at least one of the evaporator device and the condenser device is set inside the cabinet (2) in a lateral area (S) that is comprised between a first side wall (5a) of the cabinet (2) and a median vertical plane (P1) of the treatment tub (14) that contains the corresponding longitudinal axis (A). The heat exchanger (122, 123) of the at least one of the evaporator device (122) and the condenser device (123) is set in the aforesaid lateral area according to a plane of lie (P4, P5) generally inclined with respect to a horizontal plane.
