  • Publication number: 20090255299
    Abstract: The present invention provides a clothe drier, a washing machine and a washing machine with a clothes drying function, which are improved in the effects of cleaning, deodorizing and sterilizing clothes with ozone, and permit easy replacement of an ozone generation element or safe control of the ozone. An ozone generator (40) generates ozone by applying silent discharge to air introduced therein. The ozone is sucked into a drying air duct (15) by rotation of a blower (20) and a drum (3) and mixed in air heated by a heater (21), and the resulting mixture is supplied into the drum (3) through an inlet (17). Thus, the ozone is supplied to clothes to be dried, thereby effectively deodorizing and sterilizing the clothes. Since the ozone generator (40) is disposed away from the drying air duct (15), the ozone generation element can be easily replaced.
