THE DRYING PROCESS

T700 AND T760 – VENTED DRYERS T700 AND T760 – VENTED DRYERS T700 AND T760 – VENTED DRYERS T700 AND T760 – VENTED DRYERS T700 AND T760 – VENTED DRYERS
These models are vented dryers; therefore, they
required outside venting for a proper installation.
Room temperature air is heated by the heating
element and drawn into the drum, where it extracts
the dampness from the clothes. The paddles in the
drum prevent the clothes from sticking to each other.
Air passes through the lint filter in the front door,
through the exhaust system and out the exhaust vent.
On Model T700, on the way through the air
extraction system, the air passes over the thermostats.
The thermostats measures the exhaust temperature
as it leaves the dryer. When using the automatic
program, the thermostats indicate when the clothes
are dry.
On Model T760, on the way through the air
extraction system, the air passes a humidity sensor.
The sensor measures the amount of humidity in
the clothes. If you are using an automatic program,
the sensor indicates when the clothes are dry.
T700 and T760 Air Circulation
1. Room temperature air
2. Air that has been heated.
3. Maist air going through the lint filter
4. Air passing the thermostats
5. Air going out the exhaust
T720 AND T780 – CONDENSING DRYERS T720 AND T780 – CONDENSING DRYERS T720 AND T780 – CONDENSING DRYERS T720 AND T780 – CONDENSING DRYERS T720 AND T780 – CONDENSING DRYERS
These models are non-vented, condensing dryers
that are used in areas where venting is not possible.
Condenser dryers have two circulation systems: one
for drying air and one for cooling air. In the
following illustration, the black arrows show the
warm drying air, and the white arrows the cooling
air at room temperature.
T720 and T780 Air Circulation
The black arrows
show the warm
drying air. The
white arrows
show the cooling
air at room
temperature.
Model T720 is a timed dryer only. The user sets
the amount of time for the dryer to run.
The drum paddles prevent the clothes from sticking
to each other. On the way through the air extraction
system, the air passes a humidity sensor.
Model T780 has a sensor that measures the amount
of humidity in the clothes. If you are using an
automatic program, the sensor indicates when the
clothes are dry.
DRYING AIR DRYING AIR DRYING AIR DRYING AIR DRYING AIR
Room temperature air is heated by the heating
element and passes through the drum, where it
blows through the clothes and extracts the dampness
from them.
The air is filtered through the lint filter in the front
door, goes down to the fan and onwards to the
condenser unit.
On its way through the condenser the saturated air
releases its water content. The extracted water falls
into a holder, from which it is either pumped up to
a water tank or taken out via a drain hose to a floor
drain or similar.

The condenser is cooled by air at room temperature,
drawn in through the rear of the machine. The air is
blown through the condenser and exhausts through
a grill in the bottom hatch. If the machine is built
into a cabinet, the air is drawn through the gap
between the floor and the bottom of the machine.
