Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3666959A1] A clothes dryer includes an inner tub ()2, 200 for accommodating clothes and an outer tub (3, 300) arranged around the inner tub. An inner tub wall (21) has first holes (22) in dense distribution to be in spatial communication with the outer tub. A cooling water supply device (8, 801) is connected with an outer tub wall (31, 320) to supply cooling water required for a drying process to an inner surface (30, 3002) of the outer tub wall. The cooling water supply device includes a water outlet region. The inner surface of the outer tub wall has a hydrophilically treated region below the water outlet region (810, 8100), and the rest is a hydrophobic region, such that the cooling water is dispersed and flows in the hydrophilically treated region to form a water film, increasing a heat exchange area.
