Duct; Drying Condenser - Electrolux HEC-RIM SEries Service Manual

5.3 Duct

1. Duct
2. NTC temperature sensor (drying)
The air from the heating element(s) is ducted directly into the tub
through the bellow seal.
An NTC sensor fitted to the tub measures the drying temperature.
This sensor consists of two identical PVC elements welded
together face to face and anchored by a screw to the front panel.
A steel clamp ensures water-tightness with the bellow seal.

5.4 Drying condenser

1. Condenser
2. Sleeve
3. Fan
4. Condensation intake tube
and vapour outlet.
5. Drain pump
The drying condenser consists of a plastic structure (1) connected to the lower section of the tub by a
rubber sleeve (2), which contains a sensor for measurement of the humidity, and from the upper section to
the fan (3).
The warm, humid air enters through the lower section of the condenser, and a jet of water enters from the
upper section.
The shape of the condenser creates turbulence between the flow of warm, humid air and the jet of cold
water, which condenses the humidity contained in the air. Cold, dry air is ducted to the fan for re-circulation
and heated by the heating unit.
The condensation and the cooling water pass through the hose (2) to the bottom of the tub and are
expelled by the drain pump (5).
