DESICCANT-BASED LAUNDRY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17971545 titled 'DESICCANT-BASED LAUNDRY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
A washer/dryer system is described that includes a ventilation system to improve air circulation and drying efficiency. The system consists of a washer ventilation line, a dryer ventilation line, a washer, a dryer, and a ventilation reservoir. The washer ventilation line includes an air input line and an air output line, while the dryer ventilation line includes an air input line and an air output line. The washer and dryer drums are connected to their respective ventilation lines. All the ventilation lines are connected to a desiccant reservoir.
Patent/Innovation Explanation
- The invention is a washer/dryer system with improved ventilation for better drying performance.
- The system includes separate ventilation lines for the washer and dryer, allowing for efficient air circulation.
- Each ventilation line has an air input and an air output line, ensuring proper airflow throughout the system.
- The washer and dryer drums are connected to their respective ventilation lines, facilitating the movement of air during the drying process.
- All ventilation lines are connected to a desiccant reservoir, which helps to remove moisture from the air.
Potential Applications
- This washer/dryer system can be used in residential homes, apartments, laundromats, and other settings where clothes drying is necessary.
- It can be applied in commercial laundry facilities to improve drying efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
- The system can also be integrated into existing washer/dryer units or designed as a standalone unit for retrofitting purposes.
Problems Solved
- The ventilation system solves the problem of inadequate air circulation in traditional washer/dryer units, leading to longer drying times and less efficient drying.
- By connecting the washer and dryer drums to their respective ventilation lines, the system ensures that air flows directly through the clothes, improving drying performance.
- The inclusion of a desiccant reservoir helps to remove moisture from the air, preventing it from circulating back into the drying process and reducing the risk of damp clothes.
Benefits
- Improved drying efficiency: The ventilation system allows for better air circulation, resulting in faster and more effective drying of clothes.
- Energy savings: By optimizing the drying process, the system reduces the time and energy required to dry clothes, leading to potential energy savings.
- Reduced risk of damp clothes: The inclusion of a desiccant reservoir helps to remove moisture from the air, minimizing the chance of clothes remaining damp after the drying cycle.
- Versatility: The system can be integrated into various washer/dryer units or designed as a standalone unit, providing flexibility for different applications and settings.
