Abstract

The present invention relates to a laundry treatment apparatus comprising a cabinet which forms an outer appearance of the apparatus; a drum arranged in the cabinet such that the drum is rotatable; a heat pump for supplying hot air to the inside of the drum; a steam generator for supplying steam to the inside of the drum; and a water tank for supplying water to the steam generator, wherein the water tank is located in a refrigerant flow channel of the heat pump. According to the present invention, the initial temperature of the water used for generating steam is raised to improve steam-generating efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a laundry treating device, and in more detail, the present invention relates to a laundry treating device using a heat pump to supply high-temperature air inside a drum and improving a water supply structure for steam supply. Background technique [0002] Recently, various types of laundry treating devices are used together with a washing device for washing laundry. For example, a tumble drying device that dries washed laundry, a cabinet type laundry processing device that hangs laundry for drying, and the like have been developed. [0003] On the other hand, among clothes processing apparatuses, a drying device or the like for drying clothes mainly uses a heater to heat air to supply hot air to clothes. Such heaters include gas-fired heaters that heat air by burning gas and electric heaters that heat air with resistance, and recently have developed air-supply fans that use evaporators that circulate refrigerant, compr...
