An experimental study on the performance of a condensing tumbler dryer with an air-to-air heat exchanger

Influence of load mass and drum speed on fabric motion and performance of a heat pump tumble dryer

“…widely in the open literature. Many researchers have demonstrated positive effects of increasing drying air temperature and flow rate on the tumble dryer performance [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

A novel method to determine air leakage in heat pump clothes dryers

“…Leakage points may be created through manufacturing defects or damaged components and are expected to be scattered in parts of both the drum and air circulation duct of the HPCD. Although clothes dryers have been studied extensively [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] in the open literature, the leakage aspect of specific parts of the dryer has never been studied in detail previously. So far, efforts have primarily focused on analyzing the energy efficiency of HPCDs [5,11,13,15,16], while only the overall leakage has been documented in one study [2].…”

Experimental evaluation and thermodynamic system modeling of thermoelectric heat pump clothes dryer

“…Cochrane et al concluded that optimization in the analytical model and incorporation into condensing dryers would further reduce residential energy consumption. Do et al (2013) conducted an experimental study to fully characterize the performance of a condensing dryer with an air-to-air heat exchanger. They evaluated energy consumption of a closed-loop tumbler dryer as a function of the electric resistance heater capacity, drying air flow rate, cooling air flow rate, dry time and water condensation rate.…”
