Abstract

A clothes drier comprises: a body; a drum rotatably installed at the body; a hot air supply unit configured to supply hot air into the drum; a heat exchanger configured to dehumidify air exhausted from the drum; a pipe unit configured to supply water to the heat exchanger and collect water from the heat exchanger; and a freeze damage preventing unit installed on the pipe unit. The clothes drier is provided with the freeze damage preventing unit configured to partially or completely discharge out water remaining in the heat exchanger after the clothes drier is stopped. Accordingly, freeze damage of the heat exchanger during winter time is prevented.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] The present invention is related to subject matter contained in priority Korean Application No. 10-2007-0078738 filed on Aug. 6, 2007, the entire contents of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer, and more particularly, to a clothes dryer having a heat exchanger that removes moisture inside air discharged from a drum in a water-cooled manner. Background technique [0004] Generally, a laundry dryer is used to dry clothes by blowing hot air into a drum, thereby absorbing moisture inside the clothes. Clothes dryers can be basically classified into exhaust type, condensation type, and ductless type according to the treatment method of air generated when drying clothes. [0005] The condensation type laundry dryer and the ductless type laundry dryer include a heat exchanger configured to remove moisture from air exhausted from the drum. Water is supplie...
