A method of drying laundry in a laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber in which the laundry is received for drying comprises moving the treating chamber to redistribute the laundry, supplying air to the treating chamber to define a supply air flow, exhausting the supplied air from the treating chamber to define an exhaust air flow, heating the air supplied to the treating chamber by actuating a heater at full output to define a first heating phase and then cycling the heater ON/OFF to define a second heating phase.

A temperature control method and apparatus for a clothes dryer, a clothes dryer, a storage medium, an electronic device and a computer program product are provided, where an instruction for drying clothes is received, an inside-drum heater is controlled to start heating until an inside-drum temperature measurement value obtained from a current measurement of an inside-drum temperature sensor reaches a first preheating temperature value preset, then the inside-drum heater is controlled to stop heating, and the clothes dryer is controlled to execute a drying control procedure according to a preset drying temperature value, where the first preheating temperature value is lower than the drying temperature value. Through setting of the first preheating temperature value, a working state of the heater of the clothes dryer is controlled.

A washer comprising: a first heater to heat washing water; a second heater to heat air; a fan to guide air; a memory to store one or more programs; and a controller which is electrically connectable to the first heater, the second heater, the blower fan, and the memory. The washer is controlled by the controller to sequentially perform a washing cycle, a first rinsing cycle, a second rinsing cycle, a spin-drying cycle, and a drying cycle, wherein the second rinsing cycle includes an operation of heating the washing water through the first heater and an operation of rotating the drum, and the spin-drying cycle may include heating the air through the second heater in at least a part of a section based on a rotation speed of the drum, and guiding the heated air into the drum by using the blower fan.

A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus is disclosed which includes a course setting procedure receiving a control command including RPM control data of an impeller, RPM control data of a compressor or opening degree control data of an expansion valve, a hot air supply procedure for supplying heated air to a drum through control of the impeller, compressor and expansion valve, a temperature measurement procedure measuring temperature of air introduced into the drum during execution of the hot air supply procedure, a first control procedure for controlling the impeller, compressor and expansion valve based on the control command when the measured temperature is equal to or higher than a reference temperature, and a second control procedure controlling the impeller, compressor and expansion valve based on a control command different from the control command set in the course setting procedure when the measured temperature is lower than the reference temperature.

A clothes dryer may rely on a hybrid heat source for drying clothes. In some embodiments, the clothes dryer may rely on a combination of electrical energy to power the clothes dryer and hydronic heat to dry clothes. The hydronic heat may, for example, use hot water from an outdoor wood boiler circulated into a hydronic coil. Air passing over the hydronic coil may be warmed and delivered to the clothes dryer. The hybrid heat clothes dryer may reduce energy consumption from about 27 amperes to about 3 amperes.

The present disclosure relates to a clothing processing apparatus that provides various optimized drum motion combinations capable of preventing damage to or shrinkage of laundry in a preheating period, a constant-rate drying period, a falling-rate drying period, and a cooling period, respectively.

A heat pump clothes dryer comprising a circulating air path consisting of a drying drum and a drying air path for circularly flowing drying air; and a heat pump system consisting of an evaporator, a throttling device, a condenser and a compressor successively connected end to end for circularly flowing a refrigerant medium. The condenser and the evaporator are disposed on the drying air path, and perform heat exchange with the drying air. The compressor has independent suction compression chambers, each suction compression chamber being switchably connected in series or in parallel. When the dryer starts drying in a low-temperature environment, the suction compression chambers of the compressor operate in a parallel state, so that the air displacement of the compressor is increased to improve the flowing activity of the refrigerant medium in the heat pump system, so as to avoid occurrence of frosting of the evaporator.

A method for providing fresh air fed through a fan to a burner of a dryer, thereby charging the burner, when the dryer is operated with recirculating air. In commercial dryers in which the drying air is heated by a burner, it is customary to reuse the moist air leaving a drum containing the laundry to be dried as recirculating air. The recirculating air component is increased with increasing drying of the laundry. At the end of the drying operation, when the moist air no longer contains as much moisture as at the start, the moist air is used as recirculating air. The burner then no longer gets enough combustion air, which leads to an incomplete combustion. The dryer can be operated with a higher recirculating air component, an optimal combustion being guaranteed through the charging of the burner with fresh air. The invention permits more economical drying.
