The textile which is rotated in the tumbler dryer is dried by the heated air. the energy consumption for drying textile depends on various parameters. The objective of this study is to save the energy and the drying time. One of the various methods for energy saving is EGR(exhaust gas recirculation). We set the drying equipment for this study and perform the experimental study with the changes of the recirculation rate, the input power, and the air mass flow rate. We found the optimal drying conditions.

본 논문은 세탁물 건조기의 고효율과 건조성능 향상을 위한 탄소나노섬유의 열원(히팅모듈)을 설명하였고, 이 열원의 적용 가능성을 평가하는데 집중하였다. 제안된 히팅모듈의 설계를 위해, 탄소나노섬유램프의 표면온도와 표면온도분포특성에 관한 실험이 수행되었다. 그 램프의 표면온도는 램프에 흐르는 전류의 증가와 함께 선형적으로 증가하였고, 그 램프의 길이가 짧을수록 증가하는 패턴을 보였다. 제안된 히팅모듈은 건조효율, 세탁물의 수분증발률, 건조동작 중 드럼의 내부온도를 기반으로 평가되었다. 건조효율은 KS C 9319의 기준인 45%를 충족하였고, 수분증발률과 드럼의 내부온도는 각각 98.88%와 평균 $61.1^{\circ}C$로 S사의 제품과 대등한 건조성능을 보였다. 그 평가와 실제 건조실험 결과로부터, 제안된 탄소나노섬유램프 히팅모듈은 건조효율과 건조성능의 측면에서 세탁물 건조기의 열원으로 적용 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 높은 온도의 열원, 우수한 발열량, 원적외선 방출에 의한 건조성능의 향상과 세탁물의 살균효과를 얻을 수 있다. 추가적으로, 그 건조기들 사이에 건조효율 성능차이가 열원의 소비전력을 기반으로 상세히 분석되었다.

The use of clothes dryers is increasing in Korea and throughout Asia, because of preference for the drum type washer dryer. Clothes dryers consume more energy than almost any other home appliance. This paper suggests efficient ways for drying laundry with condensing clothes drier. We dried cotton fabrics with the condensing clothes dryers and observed the energy input, temperature and RH of the dryer during the drying process. In the early stages of drying process, the air temperature inside the clothes dryer decreased and the RH and the drying time increased as the weight of fabrics increased. We found that it was important to consider the total weight of the fabrics that included heat-sensitive fibers. It took more than half the drying time and the energy input for a 2.5 kg load that it did for a 5 kg load. Therefore, drying larger one load was more efficient than divided smaller loads, because increasing the weight of the fabrics reduced the energy input per kg of drying clothes. The lower the initial moisture regains of the fabrics were, the lower the energy input and the drying time were. The energy input for spinning after washing was much less than that for drying in the dryer. Consequently, it is more efficient to reduce the moisture content of the clothes by lengthening the spinning time of the washer to reduce the energy consumption and the drying time. During the drying process opening the door twice for 30 seconds each time lowered the air temperature and the RH of the dryer, but did not affect the moisture regain of the fabrics, the drying time, and the energy input.

This paper suggests the optimal conditions for the laundry to prevent from the electrostatic charge by the evaluation of the electrostatic characteristics in the full process of washing and drying. Cotton, nylon, and polyester fabrics were used as test washing specimens. Detergent and softener were used under the standard washing cycle, and then the electrostatic characteristics of laundry were measured. The results showed that the moisture regain decreased and the electrostatic charge increased with the drying time. It was observed that the specimen fabrics were already dried up before the standard drying cycle was finished. Consequently, the excessive drying caused a generation of electrostatic charge due to the removal of the trace of moisture remaining and the excessive friction. Especially, the softener played an important role to prevent from a generation of electrostatic charge, whose insertion was more effective in the drying than in the rinsing process. It was also shown that the electrostatic charge could be decreased by drying the fabrics of one kind. On the other hand, for drying the mixed kinds of fabrics, the electrostatic charge increased remarkably. Therefore we suggest that the laundry be classified according to the kinds of fiber, and then be washed and dried before excessive drying to reduce electrostatic charge And further, a proper use of softener is effective to reduce electrostatic charge.

An electric-motor which uses electric energy to dry laundry in a dryer generates wind by rotating a fan. The roles of electric motor and fan are crucial for drying. To reduce the noises or vibration, their performances should be improved. However, it requires a relatively high cost to redesign them. In this case, redesigning the fan case rather than the motor or the fan would be easier and cheaper. This paper is to apply Taguchi dynamic characteristic concept with the ideal function of energy conversion to redesign the fan case. Not only the increase of the wind power but also the decrease of noise, vibration and the other side effects are resulted.
