Condenser Dryer – Principle of Operation
Figure 4-2:
Condenser Dryer Airflow
Refer to figure 4-2.
The Fan Motor (Item 5) is responsible for drawing heated air from
the Heater Bank (Item 11). The heated air passes through the
Drum (Item14), where moisture from the Drying Load (12) is
absorbed. The air is filtered as it passes through Filters (Items 3 &
4). Air continues through the Fan Motor (Item 5) and through the
Heat Exchanger, where the moisture content (in the air) condenses
into water.
The Condenser System draws air from outside the appliance via
the Condensate Fan (Item 8). The outside air passes through the
Heat Exchanger in a 90
0
direction from the drying air. The
temperature difference between the two allows moisture
(condensation) to form on the Heat Exchanger. As the moisture
level increases, water droplets collect in a trough.
