Abstract:
Disclosed is a laundry treatment apparatus equipped with an exhaust type drying system, which is capable of not only enhancing drying efficiency while reducing consumption of energy and cooling water required to dry laundry, but also achieving smooth exhaust of air even when a water trap is formed in a drainage duct. The laundry treatment apparatus includes a casing, an outer tub, an inner tub, a drainage duct for guiding wash water stored in the outer tub to be discharged to the outside of the casing, a first exhaust duct connected, at one end thereof, to the drainage duct, to guide air present in the outer tub into the drainage duct, and a second exhaust duct upwardly branched from the drainage duct, to exhaust air present in the drainage duct to the outside of the outer tub or the outside of the cashing.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a laundry treatment apparatus equipped with a condenser for condensing air exhausted during a drying procedure. The laundry treatment apparatus includes an outer tub disposed in a cabinet, to receive air containing moisture generated from laundry, a circulation duct for guiding a portion of air present in the outer tub to be re-supplied to the outer tub after being discharged from the outer tub, an exhaust duct for guiding some other portion of the air present in the outer tub to be exhausted, an air suction duct for guiding outdoor air to be introduced into the outer tub, a fan, a heater, heat-exchanging tubes disposed at the exhaust duct such that the exhaust air passes through the tubes, and a condensed water pipe for guiding condensed water generated in the tubes. The tubes are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, to form gaps.

The tubes (61) are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, to form gaps (62).
Abstract:
A clothes treatment apparatus according to the present invention comes with a cooling water pipe that is placed within a condensing duct to condense humidity contained in a circulating air current. The latent heat generated from the condensation of humidity causes the temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water pipe to rise. A thermoelectric pump mechanism collects heat from the higher-temperature cooling water and uses it in heating the circulating air
