  • Publication number: 20080196266
    Abstract: A ductless dryer includes a main body, a drum rotatably installed at the main body, a heat exchanger for removing moisture from air exhausted from the drum, a circulation duct to flow the air exhausted from the drum into the heat exchanger, an exhaust duct to flow the air exhausted from the heat exchanger outside the dryer; and a noise reduction portion to attenuate noise propagation through the exhaust duct. As the ductless dryer is provided with the noise reduction portion, the noise propagation through the exhaust duct exposed into the room and the noise of the entire ductless dryer can be attenuated at the same time, whereby a quieter room environment can be provided.
