  • Publication number: 20210230788
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a clothes processing apparatus comprising: a drum for accommodating clothes; a circulation flow path which forms a path enabling air discharged from a frontal-side opening of the drum to undergo heat exchange and then flow into a rear-side opening of the drum; and a base cabinet which is disposed in a lower portion of the drum to provide a space in which various components are mounted, wherein the base cabinet comprises: a base flow path part which forms a part of the circulation flow path and in which an evaporator, a condenser, and a circulation fan are disposed sequentially towards a rear of the base flow path part; a drum motor mounting part which is disposed at one side in front of the base flow path part, and in which a drum motor for generating a driving force for rotating the drum is mounted; and a compressor mounting part which is disposed at one side behind the base flow path part, and in which a compressor for generating compressed air for heat exchange is mounted.

  • Publication number: 20210140092
    Abstract: A dryer includes a heat pump system provided as a heat source for heating air supplied to a drum. The dryer includes a controller configured to perform operations that include selecting one of a plurality of operation modes in which initial driving frequencies are different from one another and inputting a drying start command to the dryer by a user, checking an outer temperature and comparing the outer temperature with a preset reference temperature T, performing the operation mode selected by the user, in a case where the outer temperature is equal to or more than the reference temperature T, performing an operation mode in which the initial driving frequency of the compressor is the highest of the plurality of operation modes, in a case where the outer temperature is less than the reference temperature T.

  • Patent number: 10443184
    Abstract: A laundry treating apparatus comprises a drum receiving clothes; a fan supplying air to the drum; a heater heating the air supplied to the drum; and a dry level sensing unit determining a dry level of the clothes. A control method comprises setting a dry time; supplying air to the clothes by operating the fan or operating the fan and the heater, and controlled to be performed for the dry time; and resetting the dry time, when the dry level measured by the dry level sensing unit at a time past a preset reference time period from the start of the air supply step is less than a preset reference dry level, wherein resetting the dry time step adds more time to the reference time period.
