Abstract: A ductless type clothes drier comprises: a heat pump system including a condenser configured to supply hot air into the drum, and an evaporator configured to remove moisture inside air exhausted from the drum; and a lint removing unit configured to inject water to the evaporator so that lint on the evaporator can be removed. Accordingly, without using water, moisture included in exhausted air can be removed as a heat exchange process is performed at the evaporator. Water for removing moisture included in air does not have to be supplied to the ductless type clothes drier, thereby solving cost increase due to increase of a water consumption amount. Furthermore, since clean water remained after being used for heat exchange is not discarded, waste of water resources is prevented. Also, the conventional problem that the ductless type clothes drier has a difficulty in being commercialized due to increase of a water consumption amount is solved.

Abstract: A ductless type clothes drier comprises a dew condensation preventing cover configured to remove moisture included in finally exhausted air discharged to a wall surface behind a body via the heat exchanger. Accordingly, finally exhausted air including moisture is prevented from directly contacting a wall surface, thereby preventing dew condensation phenomenon occurring as moisture included therein is condensed on the wall surface. As a result, can be solved the conventional problem that stains or fungi are reproduced on the wall surface thus to cause appearance degradation and sanitary problems.
