Tumble dryer with a rotatably mounted in a housing drum, condensate filter for a tumble dryer

摘要

The invention relates to a tumble dryer with a rotatably mounted in a housing drum and a fan and a heater for generating a process air stream flowing through a heat exchanger, wherein the resulting during the drying process condensate either in a designed as a condensate tank drawer or in a device external drain by a pump via a condensate line can be pumped off, wherein in the condensate line between the pump and the container or the drain an accessible filter (1) is provided for filtering the condensate for a vapor deposition in the housing of the tumble dryer. According to the invention, the filter (1) is incorporated in a housing (4) formed with feed and discharge nozzles (2) and (3), in which a filtered subset (5) of the condensate can be collected, and wherein the throughflowing part (6 ) of the condensate cleans the filter (1) of lint particles.
