Embodiment Construction

[0021] In the figures, elements that are the same or have the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0022] The tumble dryer 1 comprises a compressor heat pump 2 (see above description; only partially shown here for clarity) which comprises a heat exchanger 2 . The heat exchanger 2 includes a plurality of fins 21 and is connected to a process air guide. The result that can be achieved hereby is that during operation of the tumble dryer 1 , in particular during the drying phase, process air is guided through the heat exchanger 2 as an air flow 4 in the direction indicated by the arrow. The air flow 4 generated in the process air guide is produced by a process air blower 6 shown only schematically in the figure, which can be started and stopped as required.

[0023] Furthermore, the tumble dryer 1 comprises a collection container 3 which is arranged vertically at a higher level than the heat exchanger 2 . In the collection container 3 there is condensate w...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the removal of lint, generated during a drying process in a domestic appliance (1) for laundry care, from a heat exchanger (2), wherein a rinsing fluid is run through the heat exchanger (2) for cleaning, the fluid is deflected during a cleaning phase depending on the strength of an air flow (4) and runs through various regions (22, 23) of the heat exchanger (2) depending on the deflection. The invention further relates to a corresponding domestic appliance (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for removing lint from a heat exchanger during drying of a household appliance for laundry care, in particular a tumble dryer, wherein a rinsing liquid is conveyed through the heat exchanger , to clean. [0002] The invention also relates to a household appliance for the care of clothes, comprising: a heat exchanger; a process air blower for driving an air flow through the heat exchanger; Lint produced during the drying process is removed from a heat exchanger through which, during the cleaning phase, rinse fluid is passed; and a control device for controlling the cleaning. Background technique [0003] A method and a household appliance of this type are known from DE3738031C2. [0004] Furthermore, tumble dryers are known which comprise an alternately heating and cooling compressor heat pump for circulating the process air flow. In addition to the conventional lint filter, these units have an additional filter syst...
