A dryer apparatus is disclosed comprising a container having a container inlet and outlet, a pump that is configured to motivate a first air-vapor mixture flow via the container inlet and via the container outlet, a heating device configured to heat the first air-vapor mixture, a selector with at least two states, a compressor that is configured to compress and motivate a part of the first air-vapor mixture flow as a second air-vapor mixture flow, to flow through a first heat exchanger and to flow through a second heat exchanger and a pressure reducing device that is configured to reduce the pressure of said second air-vapor mixture downstream said first heat exchanger. The selector is configured to direct most of the first air-vapor mixture to flow in a closed cycle through the container, or configured to exchange most of the first air-vapor mixture with air located outside the apparatus.

A washing machine of the present invention comprises: a casing; a tub disposed inside the casing, for accommodating water; a drum rotatably provided inside the tub, for accommodating laundry therein; a gasket interposed between the casing and the tub, for preventing the water inside the tub from leaking between the tub and the casing; a gasket nozzle provided at the gasket, for circulating the water and spraying into the drum; a spiral nozzle provided at the gasket, for converting the water into a spiral flow and spraying into the drum; and a turbo wash button for setting or canceling a turbo wash for spraying water through the gasket nozzle when the drum is rotated or for spraying water through the spiral nozzle when the drum is rotated.

The present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus that generates steam to be supplied to hung laundry and steam to be supplied to an iron in a single heating part.

A washing machine may include: a washing tub having a first opening and a second opening; a pump; and a chiller; wherein a first flow path connects the second opening, the pump, the chiller, and the first opening so that pumping by the pump moves carbon dioxide from inside the washing tub through the second opening along the first flow path to pass through the pump, then along the first flow path to pass through the chiller so as to be cooled by the chiller, and then along the first flow path to pass through the first opening to be returned to the washing tub.

A washing machine appliance includes a wash tub positioned within a cabinet and defining a wash chamber and a sump, a wash basket rotatably mounted within the wash tub for receiving a load of clothes, a dispensing assembly mounted within the cabinet for selectively adding wash fluid into the wash tub, and a pressure sensing assembly in fluid communication with a sump of the wash tub. The pressure sensing assembly comprises a sensor housing mounted to the wash tub, the sensor housing defining a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the sump, an air chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, and a sensing chamber in fluid communication with the air chamber, and a pressure sensor mounted within the sensing chamber for detecting an air pressure of the air chamber.

A washing machine appliance includes a drain pump fluidly coupled to a wash tub, a motor mechanically coupled to a wash basket, and a pressure sensor fluidly coupled to the wash tub. A controller is configured operate the motor to agitate a laundry load in the wash basket with a total volume of wash fluid in the wash tub, operate the drain pump to drain a portion of the total volume of the wash fluid from the wash tub until a remaining portion of the wash fluid remains in the wash tub, operate the motor to rotate the wash basket at a sensing speed, obtain a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, analyze the pressure signal to identify an out of balance condition, and implement a responsive action in response to identifying the out of balance condition.

An apparatus carries out a method for determining a first quantity of a liquid in an oscillatingly suspended container. The liquid is supplied into the container with a supply valve and is discharged from the container with a discharging facility. Sensors are provided for continuously acquiring operating data of the container. A control facility is connected to the sensors for transmitting the operating data and controls a supply valve. The operating data is supplied to a correlation unit which on the basis of training data which is stored as learned correlations between the first quantity and the operating data, the correlation unit determines the first quantity from the operating data by the operating data being used as input variables for the correlation unit and the first quantity being an output variable of the correlation unit.
