Tumble Dryers Heat Pump - Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes

Tumble dryers with heat pump are powered appliances that are designed to eliminate moisture from textiles such as linen, bedding and clothes. These tumble dryers differ from vented tumblers in that they don't require vents or hoses.

Instead, they use heated air to absorb moisture. Then, the water is stored in a tank. This air is then reheated to continue drying your laundry.

Reduced energy consumption

When it comes to appliances, our tumble dryers are the biggest factor in our household's energy consumption. They're an excellent example of how small changes in our usage can help us reduce electricity bills, as well as minimise the environmental impact of our appliances.

This Miele tumble dryer's heat pump technology makes use of an additional cooling circuit to cool the hot air that is removed from the drum. The air is cooled in this manner and then recirculated back into the dryer. It absorbs heat and condenses moisture. This is similar to the way an air conditioner works.

Once the heat pump has taken in heat and condensed water it is then returned to the system, so it can reuse this energy for future cycles. That's why a heat pump dryer requires less energy than vented models. In fact, it consumes approximately 50 percent less energy than a comparable vented tumble dryer.

This lower energy consumption is offset by slightly longer drying times. In general the heat pump dryer takes around 50-70% longer to dry laundry over conventional models. Heat pump tumble dryers operate at lower temperatures and therefore take longer to dry your clothes.

Another thing to bear in mind is that heat pump dryers need a bit more maintenance than other tumble dryers. They must have their lint filters and condenser coils cleaned regularly. This is a crucial step to ensure that your appliance runs efficiently and consumes the smallest amount of energy.

The good news is that if you follow these simple steps, you can make a significant difference to your household's electric bills. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that one person drying two loads of laundry each week with an energy efficient tumble dryer could save up to PS564 a year.

When buying a new tumble dryer, look for one with an ENERGY STAR label. This is the best way to make sure that you're buying an appliance that will help reduce the cost of energy. Try running your washer and tumble dryer during off-peak times when electricity rates are lower.

The drying time is longer

Tumble dryers with heat pump technology may take a bit longer to dry since they operate at lower temperatures. The dryers with heat pump stores the water in tanks or drain it if you have an optional hose connected. This means that your clothes don't get immediately hot after coming out of the dryer and aren't required to be heated to eliminate wrinkles.

Heat pump dryers can also take up to half as long to dry a load compared to conventional tumble dryers. This is because they need your washing machine to be operating simultaneously to generate enough warmth for them to function. This is a worthwhile trade-off if you are looking to make your laundry as efficient as is.

It's also worth noting that heat pump dryers come with screens for lint that must be kept clean, as well as condenser coils that will hold some water, so it's important to keep them clear in order to maintain the appliance's performance. It's easy to accomplish this by opening the door to the dryer and pulling out the lint filter. The lint filter can be cleaned with a damp cloth. It's also an excellent idea to give the filter housing a wipe down, as it could have gathered some lint from repeated usage also.

If you do need your laundry to be slightly faster, then we'd recommend looking at our selection of condenser tumble dryers that dry your laundry a bit more quickly than a heat pump model. These models don't require a vented pipe to function, and can be installed in any room of your home. The models will still require a constant supply cool air to perform their function. You'll need to choose a room with good ventilation.

Lower Temperatures

The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump are more gentle on your clothes as they operate at lower temperatures. This is particularly important for delicate clothing items. Higher temperatures can cause them to shrink or create small holes. In addition, this gentler method means that your clothes will last longer and will look great for longer.

This also means that the tumble dryer with a heat pump will consume less energy than other types of tumble dryer that are vented or condenser models. This will lead to significant savings on your electric bills particularly if you shift from peak hours to off-peak times.

Heat pump tumble dryers reuse and recycle this water. They transfer it back into the drum, where it is extracted from the evaporator. This process is both energy-efficient and green. That is why heat pump tumble dryers are a fantastic option for homes.

These tumble dryers are, in addition to being more energy efficient, are also extremely quiet. They are great for families who wish to cut down on their energy costs while also helping the environment. This is an advantage over vented and condenser dryers which can be noisy.

Some people may be surprised by the fact that heat pump tumble dryers heat pump vs condenser dryers employ lower temperatures. The heat pump tumble dryers have lower temperatures, which could make the cycle take longer than it normally does.

Be aware that when you open your tumble dryer's heat pump door during the process it will need to reheat the inside air, which will increase the drying time. This is why it's best to not open the door of a heat pump tumble dryer until the close of the cycle. It is also a good idea to avoid opening the lid of your washer while it is running. This can increase energy consumption but will not save you money.

Reduced Noise

There are a few things you can do in order to make your tumble dryer as quiet as you can. One way to do this is to put it on a raised platform or rubber pads. This helps to absorb vibrations and reduce any noise that could be coming from the motor or duct. You can also move it to another area, like your bedroom or living area, where the noise will be less evident.

You can also use a sound-absorbing mat under the dryer. This will help to reduce the noise it creates when it vibrates against the floorboards. Be careful when selecting these items as they could cause damage to floors if they're too heavy.

Another option to reduce the noise from your tumble dryer is to purchase a new model that is designed with a quieter motor and surface insulation.
