Heat Pump Tumble Dryer
The tumble dryers that use heat pumps absorb moisture from your laundry with warm air. The heated air is then used to continue drying.
They don't require a vent and can be positioned anywhere in the house. If you live in an apartment they do require an area to store water.
They're more affordable to manage
The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump, as the name suggests make use of air heating to dry your clothes. They don't have to produce their own heat. This is great for the environment and for your pocket. This is a great way to dry your laundry. It can reduce energy consumption by as much as 70% when compared to vented units.
The method that tumble dryers with heat pumps accomplish this is by recycling the hot air that passes through your laundry. This air is then passed through an evaporator that removes moisture and leaves it in a tank within your tumble dryer. The tank is then heated and the cycle repeated and absorbs more water from your clothes with every run. The moisture is split into two components that are warm, dry air. The water is gathered in a tank which can be easily removed from underneath the tumble dryer. The warm air is re-used again and again by the evaporator.
While this method of drying takes longer than other types of tumble dryer but it's also more efficient than conventional methods. Ventilated dryers are extremely energy-intensive, and even those that claim to use less energy will still leave you with a huge electricity bill. Heat pump tumble dryers also have a much lower carbon footprint than traditional tumble dryers. This is crucial in a society that is concerned about climate change.
When you are looking to purchase a new tumbler there are a lot of things to consider in addition to size, price and energy efficiency. In the end, heat pump tumble dryers are the most eco-friendly and least expensive to run and are followed by condenser dryers and vented tumble dryers.
A tumble dryer can make your life easier and help you avoid waiting for your clothes to dry in the sun or on the washing line. It's also healthier for you, as drying your clothes in the rain can cause mildew and mould to develop within your home. This is harmful for respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies.
You'll feel more confident in your clothes
Traditionally tumble dryers relied on hot air being blown across the clothes to dry them. This method worked but it was extremely energy-intensive, particularly when you were carrying out massive or frequent loads. Fortunately, the advancements in laundry equipment means that there's a more efficient option now available and that's the heat pump tumble dryer.
A heat pump tumbler is a closed-loop device. Heat pump tumble dryers make use of the same hot air that they use to dry clothes.
The tumble dryers with heat pumps come with additional features that make them eco-friendly and easier to use. For instance, they're typically more efficient than other tumble dryers, which means that if you've got Wi–Fi at home or an avid fan of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant you can control them remotely using apps on your smartphone.
Anti-crease functions are becoming more common. This keeps your clothing gently tumbling after your wash is finished, so creases don't set in as easily. Some models also feature an option to delay the process so you can wash your clothes at a time that works for your needs. This is a great feature for taking advantage of peak solar electricity production during the daytime or making sure your laundry is finished at a convenient time (though you shouldn't use your dryer while away from home because of the danger of fires).
Like other tumble dryers, heat pump tumble dryers come with an energy efficiency rating that informs you how much it uses per cycle. You can cut down on your energy bills by choosing a dryer with a high energy rating. You may want to look for a dryer with a heat pump that comes with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can control it via an app on your smartphone or via voice commands via your smart home assistant.
They're also more eco-friendly.
As the increasing demand for eco-friendly appliances, heat pump tumble dryers are becoming an excellent option. They use less energy than traditional tumble dryers, and aren't as harmful to fabrics, making them more sustainable in the long run. The use of heat pump tumble dryers is an absolute necessity for modern homes, especially when you think about the energy savings.
While conventional tumble dryers have an exhaust vent which expel hot air from the drum, a a heat pump tumble dryer does not need to do this since it recycles the heated air. It has a compressor which heats refrigerant, which warms the air, and then goes through an evaporator to eliminate moisture from it. The air is then heated and then used to dry your clothes.
The recycled air is a more eco-friendly method of drying than simply expelling it out of your home. In fact, it's similar to the process your fridge uses to keep its contents cold.
When it comes to environmental impact the tumble dryers with heat pumps are one of the most efficient models on the market. They can reduce their energy usage by 75% compared to traditional tumble dryers, by reusing hot air that is already inside the drum. This can help you save a lot of money on electricity bills and also help you reduce your carbon footprint too.
Not only that, but they're also less abrasive to your laundry. They're dryers with lower temperatures and therefore your favorite jumper won't shrink or stretch out of shape.
Heat pump tumble dryers can be moved more easily than vented models. These models require an exhaust pipe to vent their hot air. This means that they can be moved between different rooms in your home or even into a garage or shed. The water that is extracted is stored in a simple-to-empty tank that is built into the machine, making it a great option for households with limited space or those who aren't able to rely on weather to hang their laundry out on the line.
They are easy to move
Think about it: your old vented dryer was a basic sheet metal box that had four parts (the motor, the timer, and the fan). The tumble dryers that use heat pumps are more complex, having more components and more advanced technology.
They are quite heavy - however, at the same they don't take up as much space as you'd think, thanks to the fact that they use compressed air to store and reheat heat instead of venting humid air like your old tumble dryer does. This makes them easy to move if you have to relocate them or make improvements to your laundry room.
Electric heat pump dryers are closed-system dryers, meaning they do not require venting the ducting. They can also be installed in smaller spaces than condenser dryers that are vented. This makes them ideal for those living in apartments that don't have the luxury of a dedicated laundry room. They do require a constant supply to cool air in order to perform their job. This makes them more suitable for spaces with good ventilation as opposed to condenser dryers or vented dryers.
