Problems solved by technology

When the air is directly exhausted through the exhaust duct, there may be a problem that a large amount of water vapor may be generated around the laundry treatment equipment
On the other hand, when the exhaust duct is directly connected to the drain channel arranged near the laundry treatment equipment, there may be a problem that it is difficult to introduce the washing water discharged from the drain duct of the equipment into the drain channel.

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.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0108231 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 30, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a laundry treating apparatus, and more particularly, to a laundry treating apparatus equipped with a condenser for condensing air discharged during a drying process. Background technique [0004] Laundry treating devices capable of drying clothes using heated air (hot air) supplied to clothes are classified as clothes treating devices equipped with an exhaust type drying system according to how heated air supplied to clothes is treated after heat exchange with clothes and laundry treatment equipment with a circulating drying system. [0005] In the case of the circulation type drying system, there may be a drawback that cooling water should...
