7.3 Drying condenser The drying condenser consists of a plastic structure which is connected to the lower section of the tub by a rubber sleeve, and to the fan by a seal. The condenser is attached to the base of the appliance. The humid air enters from the lower section of the condenser, while a jet of cold water is introduced from the upper section. The shape of the condenser is such as to create a turbulence between the flow of humid air and the jet of cold water. This condenses the humidity contained in the air. Therefore, the fan receives cold, dry air, which is then re-circulated and again heated.
The cooling water and the condensation run down to the bottom of the tub, to be discharged by the drain pump. SOI/DT 2002-05 eb 57 599 35 23-17 Type “A” condenser Type “B” condenser 1.
