Domestic clothes dryer - with baffle plates on top tray of moisture condenser for drying air

摘要

Parent patent described a clothes dryer which can be a part of a washing machine and includes guide trays over which cooling water trickles in counterflow to the moisture-laden air from the wash drum as it ascends in a zigzag path. Improvement is that the top tray has deflector plates which force the air down against the cooling water surface, act as impact baffles and induce eddies for the pptn. of all moisture droplets. Carry-over of cooling water and of moisture droplets with the drying air is prevented.
