Tumble Dryers Heat Pump - Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes

Tumble dryers are heat pump powered household appliances designed to remove the moisture from fabrics like clothes, bedding and linen. They are different to vented tumble dryers in the sense that they don't require a vent or hose.

Instead they make use of heated air to absorb moisture. Then, the water is stored in tanks. The air is then heated to allow it to continue drying your clothes.

Reduced Energy Consumption

When it is about appliances, tumble dryers are the biggest contributor to our household energy consumption. They also provide a great illustration of how making small changes to our usage can help reduce the cost of electricity and reduce the impact of our appliances.

This Miele tumble dryer's heat pump technology makes use of an additional cooling circuit to cool the hot air that is removed from the drum. The air is cooled this manner and is then recirculated into the dryer. It absorbs heat and condenses moisture. This is similar to how an air conditioner functions.

After the heat pumps have taken in heat and condensed the moisture, they are fed back into the system so that it can reuse the energy for subsequent cycles. This is why heat pump dryers use less energy than vented models. This model uses about 50% less energy than a vented tumble dryer of similar size.

It's worth noting that this reduction in energy use comes at a cost of slightly longer drying times. The dryers that use heat pump dry laundry around 50-70% slower than conventional dryers. Heat pump tumble dryers operate at lower temperatures, and consequently take longer to dry your clothes.

Heat pump dryers need some more care than tumble dryers. In particular, they should be able to have their lint filter as well as condenser coils regularly cleaned. This is an important step to ensure that your appliance operates efficiently and consumes the least amount of energy.

The good news is that if you follow these simple steps, you can make an important difference to your household's electricity costs. According to the Energy Saving Trust, a single person could save PS564 per year by making use of a low-energy tumble dryer for two loads of laundry per week.

When purchasing a new tumbler be sure to look for one that has an ENERGY STAR label. This is the best way to make sure that you're buying a product that will reduce your energy bills. To further minimise your household energy consumption try running washing machines and tumble dryers during off-peak hours when electricity rates are typically lower.

The drying time is longer

Tumble dryers with heat pump technology may take a bit longer to dry since they operate at lower temperatures. This is due to how the technology works: while traditional tumble dryers blast hot air into the atmosphere to evaporate the moisture from your clothes while heat pump dryers draw that water from the drum and keep it in tanks (or drain if you've connected an optional hose). This means that your clothes won't be piping hot after they come out of the dryer, and aren't required to be heated to eliminate wrinkles.

You'll also find that heat pump dryers, particularly those with an energy efficiency rating of high can take up to 50 percent longer to dry your laundry than conventional tumble dryers, and this is due to the fact that your washing machine must be running at the same time in order to generate enough heat to function. But this is a trade-off worth making when you want your laundry to be as energy efficient as you can.

Heat pump dryers also have lint filters that need to be cleaned, as do condenser coils that will collect water. It is important to keep these in good condition to ensure the longevity of the appliance. This can be done by opening the door of the dryer and removing the lint screen. Then, you can wipe it down with a damp towel. You should also pay the filter housing attention, since it has likely accumulated lint over time.

If you're looking to dry your laundry quicker, we suggest one of our condenser tumble dryers. They will dry your laundry a bit faster than a traditional heat pump. These models don't require a vented hose in order to operate, and you are able to put them in any space in your home that you choose. They will still need a constant supply of cool air to function, though, so you'll need a room that can remain reasonably well-ventilated.

Lower Temperatures

Heat pump tumble dryers are gentler on your clothes since they operate at lower temperatures. This is especially important for delicate items of clothing since higher temperatures can cause them to shrink or get small holes in them. Additionally, this more gentle method means that your clothes will last longer and will look their best for much longer.

This also means that the tumble dryer with a heat pump will consume less energy than other types of tumble dryer that are vented or condenser models. This can result in significant savings on your energy bills, especially when you choose to use off-peak electricity hours.

The heat pump tumble dryers reuse and recycle this water. They return it into the drum, where it is extracted from the evaporator. This process is both energy-efficient and green. This is why heat pump tumble dryers are an excellent choice for your home.

Heat pump tumble dryers are, in addition to being more energy efficient, are also extremely quiet. They are ideal for families that want to save on their energy costs while doing their part for the environment. This is another advantage over vented and condenser dryers which can be quite noisy when they are operating.

The lower temperatures of a heat-pump tumble dryer means that your clothes will not feel as hot when they come out of the cycle, which can be a surprise to some. The lower temperatures that are used in heat pump tumble dryers can also make the cycles take a bit longer than the normal.

Another thing to bear in mind is that if you open the door of your tumble dryer during the cycle the appliance will have to heat up the air inside, tumble Dryers Heat which will delay drying time. This is the reason it is recommended not to open the door of a tumble dryer until the close of the cycle. It is also a smart idea to avoid opening the lid of your washing machine while it is still running. This can increase energy consumption and not save you money.

Reduced Noise

Laundry day can be a hassle but with a heat pump tumble dryer you'll be doing your laundry with less effort and being kind to the environment and your pocket. They're more expensive than traditional models, but you'll save money in the end due to their energy efficiency and gentle fabric care. Plus, they are very quiet!

Some people notice that when they use their tumble dryer they can hear it rumbling from a different room in the house and this can be quite annoying. There are several options you can make in order to make your tumbler as quiet as possible. Place it on a raised surface or on rubber pads. This will absorb the vibrations, which will reduce the noise that could come from a motor or ventilation duct. You can also move it to another room, such as your bedroom or living area where the noise will be less perceptible.

You can also place a sound-absorbing mat under the dryer. This will help reduce the noise it makes when it vibrates against the floorboards. Be cautious when selecting these items, because if they are too thick they could trap moisture and cause damage to your floorboards.

You can also reduce the noise generated by your dryer by purchasing an upgraded model that has more quiet motors and better surface insulation. Certain models are designed to be the quietest models on the market. This allows you to use your tumble-dryer without worrying about its noise.
