Abstract

See full text

The tumble dryer includes a rotary drum (1), a suction turbine (5) in communication with air inlets and outlets (3, 6) at opposite ends of the drum to create an axial drying air flow, and an unloading door (7) with a loading opening (8) formed therein. The turbine creates a suction air flow in a loading duct (9) connected to the loading opening (8) during a suction-assisted clothes loading operation, and moves the clothes loaded inside the drum (1) away from the air outlets (6) and/or for temporarily provides an auxiliary air exit in communication with the suction turbine (5) during suction-assisted clothes loading to assure enough suction air flow for that purpose.
