  • Patent number: 7458171
    Abstract: The dehumidifier clothes dryer apparatus provides for drying clothes with a closed loop air system. The system does not require an external air source, nor does the system require an exhaust, the apparatus thereby not constrained as to location. The compressor system provides for condensing moisture from air passed through the clothes within the drug, the moisture collected in a sump tank for removal, optionally with a float controlled sump pump. Dual lint traps with optional removable filters insure proper operation. An optional accessory heating coil is provided. Relatively low energy requirements allow 110 volt operation.
