What's a heat pump dryer?

A heat pump dryer is the most energy-efficient dryer and it protects your laundry, thanks to the low drying temperature. With an A+++ heat pump dryer, you can save an average of up to € 115 on annual energy costs. This is because the dryer works with a pump and a coolant. You can read how a heat pump dryer works and how it benefits you here.

How does a heat pump dryer work?

Heat pump dryer

A heat pump dryer doesn't use a heating element, but a heat pump and a cooling agent. The pump changes the cooling agent from a gas to a liquid. The heat that's released during process heats the airflow to the drum. While drying, moist air is released from your laundry. The cooling agent cools this air, which means condensation comes into the reservoir. The dry air reheats the pump. By reusing the air, you don't need as much energy.

Condensation drain

Condensation drain hose

While drying, the moisture from your clothes is collected in a condenser reservoir. You need to empty it regularly. Do you have a water drain? Connect the heat pump dryer to it with a condensation drain hose. This means you no longer have to empty the condenser reservoir. Make sure that the heat pump dryer can be placed on the water drain. Does the dryer have a connector, but is there no hose included? Purchase one separately.

Consideration

A heat pump dryer is relatively more expensive and takes longer to dry your laundry, but it saves € 115 on energy costs on average compared to a condenser dryer. If you want to contribute to a better environment and want your clothes to last longer, buy an A+++ heat pump dryer.
