Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to improve the effectiveness of a clothes treatment appliance in cleaning the condenser. The goal is to address the problems that previously existed in the prior art.

Problems solved by technology

However, filters are not effective enough to separate all the particles or residue from the process air flow.
These lint agglomerations reduce the condensation effectiveness and may cause a breakdown of the condenser function over time.
It affords several components and is associated with considerable cost for material and assembly.
Also, the water gush often cannot completely clean the condenser, and typically a certain amount of lint remains.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]FIG. 1 shows a clothes treatment appliance realized as a household drying appliance 11, in particular a clothes dryer. The drying appliance 11 includes a clothes container in form of a rotatable clothes drum 12. The drum 12 is connected to an air inlet section 13 and an air outlet section 14 of a process air channel 15. Warm air entering the drum 12 via the air inlet section 13 can dry the clothes contained in the drum 12. The resulting warm and wet process air P leaves the drum 12 through the air outlet section 14 and flows to a process air condenser 16 that cools the process air P. Thus, at the condenser 16, the process air precipitates. To cool the process air P, the condenser 16 has several plate-like cooling blades 17 that are arranged in a parallel fashion (which in the shown drawing are oriented in parallel to and are spaced apart perpendicular to the viewing plane).

[0044]The condenser 16 and its cooling blades 17, respectively, may be water-cooled. In this case, the co...

Abstract

A clothes treatment appliance includes a water container connected to a downpipe leading to a water-cleanable unit, in particular, a process air condenser, of the clothes treatment appliance. The clothes treatment appliance further includes a water accelerator.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a clothes treatment appliance, including a process air condenser and a water container connected to a downpipe leading to a water-cleanable unit of the clothes treatment appliance.[0002]A typical clothes dryer (as such or as a washer-dryer in combination with a washing function) includes a laundry or clothes container (e.g. a rotatable clothes drum) that is connected to an air inlet and an air outlet of a process air channel. Warm air entering the clothes container via the air inlet of the process channel dries the clothes or laundry. The resulting warm and wet process air leaves the clothes container through the air outlet of the process air channel and flows to a process air condenser that cools the process air. At the condenser, the process air precipitates. Thus, behind the condenser (with respect to a flow direction of the process air) the process air is cool and dry and flows to a heater that heats up the process air to...
