Tumble Dryers Heat Pump - Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes

Heat pump tumble dryers are household appliances that remove moisture from textiles, such as clothes, bedding and linen. They differ from vented tumblers in that they do not require vents or hoses.

Instead they make use of heated air to absorb moisture. This is then stored in tanks. This air is then heated to continue drying your clothes.

Reduced Energy Consumption

When it concerns appliances, tumble dryers are the biggest contributor to our household energy consumption. They're an excellent illustration of how making small changes in our usage can help us reduce electric bills as well as minimise the environmental impact of our appliances.

This Miele tumble dryer's heat pump technology uses a second cooling circuit to cool the hot air that is expelled from the drum. The air is cooled this manner and then recirculated back into dryer. It absorbs heat and condenses moisture. This is similar to the way an air conditioner operates.

After the heat pump has absorbed warmth and condensed moisture it is then fed back into the system, so it can reuse this energy for subsequent cycles. This is why dryers with heat pumps use less energy than vented models. In fact, this model uses around 50 percent less energy than a comparable vented tumble dryer.

It's important to note that this reduced energy consumption comes at a cost of drying times that are slightly longer. In general the heat pump dryer takes approximately 50-70% longer to dry laundry than conventional models. The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump operate at lower temperatures and take longer to dry your clothes.

tumble dryers with heat pump require a little more maintenance than tumble dryers. In particular, they should be able to have their lint filter as well as condenser coils cleaned regularly.

The drying time is longer

Heat pump tumble dryers may take a little longer to dry due to the fact that they operate at lower temperatures. The dryers that heat pump store the water in a tank or drain it when you have an optional hose connected. This means that your clothes aren't left piping hot after it comes out of the dryer and doesn't require to be re-heated in order to soften wrinkles, which can prolong the life of your clothes.

You'll also find that heat pump dryers - especially those with an energy efficiency rating of high could take up to 50% longer to dry a load than conventional tumble dryers, and this is because your washing machine has to be running at the same time in order to generate enough heat for them to work. However, this is an option worth considering if you want your laundry to be as energy efficient as you can.

It's also important to note that heat pump dryers have screens for lint that must be kept clean, as well as condenser coils, which collect some water, so it's recommended to keep them clean in order to preserve the performance of the appliance. You can easily do this by opening the door to the dryer and then removing the lint filter. The lint filter can be cleaned using a damp cloth.
