Tumble Dryers Heat Pump - Why They're Good For the Environment and Your Clothes
The tumble dryers with heat pump are appliances used in the home that remove moisture from textiles such as bedding, clothing, and linen. They are different to vented tumble dryers in the sense that they don't require vents or hose.
Instead they make use of hot air to absorb moisture and store it in a tank. This air is then heated to continue drying your clothes.

When it is about appliances, tumble dryers are the biggest factor in our household's energy consumption. However, they're also a good example of how small modifications to our habits can help us cut down on electricity bills, and also reduce the environmental impact of our appliances.
The heat pump technology in this Miele tumble dryer utilizes a second cooling circuit that cools the hot air that's ejected from the drum. The coolant that's created by this method is then recirculated through the dryer, absorbing warmth and condensing moisture back in. This is similar to how an air conditioner works.
Once the heat pumps has been able to absorb heat, and then condensed the moisture and then re-introduced into the system so that it can use the energy for future cycles. This is the reason why dryers that use heat pump technology consume less energy than vented models. The model is able to use 50% less energy than a vented tumble dryer similar in size.
The lower energy usage is offset by slightly longer drying times. Heat pump dryers dry laundry at a rate of 50-70% slower than conventional dryers. Tumble dryers with heat pumps operate at lower temperatures and therefore take longer to dry your clothes.
Another thing to keep in mind is that heat pump dryers require some extra maintenance than other tumble dryers. They require having the condenser coils and lint filters cleaned regularly. This is a vital step to ensure that your appliance operates efficiently and uses the least amount of energy.

It is also true that heat pump dryers, particularly those with an energy efficiency rating that is high - can take up to 50 percent longer to dry a load than traditional tumble dryers, which is due to the fact that your washing machine needs to be operating at the same time in order to produce enough heat to function. This is a good trade-off if you're looking to make your laundry as efficient as is.
Heat pump dryers also have lint filters that need to be cleaned, as well condenser coils that will take in water. It is important to keep these in good condition to maintain the appliance. This can be accomplished by opening the door of the dryer and taking out the screen that filters lint. The filter can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
