Advantages and Operation of Heatpump Dryer
Unlike traditional dryers that rely on heat to dry clothes, the Heatpump dryer uses a special cooling method to generate heat without consuming much electricity. This model has a gas-powered air compressor to create high-pressure, high-temperature air. This hot air is used to dry clothes, saving time and energy.
1.1. Operation of the drying drum
The drying drum in the Heatpump dryer is heated by a stream of hot air, created by compressing air to high pressure. In the drum, this hot air is cooled to remove excess heat after extracting moisture from the clothes.
Moisture is transformed into liquid water and reversed upwards during the drying process. Clothes will be dried as the air stream continues to circulate, heating up and blowing into the drying drum.
Heatpump dryers can be switched between hot and cold settings. The drying agent absorbs heat from the hot end. The dehumidifying and cooling function of the Heatpump dryer is achieved by absorbing heat from the surroundings through the cold end.
1.2. Structure and operating principle of the Heatpump dryer
The basic structure of the Heatpump dryer consists of 4 main parts: Heat pump, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator, control panel, and other auxiliary devices.
2. Pros and Cons of Heatpump Dryers
2.1. Advantages
- Fabric softening feature on Samsung 9Kg DV90TA240AE / SV Heatpump Dryer.
- Quick and efficient drying after washing.
- Heatpump dryers use only an average of 0.2 kilowatt-hour (kWh) to dry 1 kilogram (kg) of wet clothes, while condenser dryers require 0.5 kilowatt-hour (kWh).
- No air change, no heat emission.
2.2. Disadvantages
There are many positive aspects to this dryer, but there are also a few drawbacks:
- Drying time is significantly longer compared to other dryers, though not drastically, just a few extra minutes.
- Heatpump dryers have the distinct advantage of reduced energy consumption compared to traditional dryers but take more time to dry clothes.
- Equivalent to an air conditioner, it comes with a pre-existing liquid heat exchange unit, increasing production costs.
Due to these drawbacks, Heatpump dryers are not widely used in Vietnam. However, in the future, consumers may shift to using this product more frequently due to its benefits.
3. Price comparison with products in the same segment, is it worth choosing the Samsung 9 Kg DV90TA240AE / SV Heatpump Dryer?
- The Samsung 9 Kg DV90TA240AE / SV Heatpump Dryer is priced at around 13 million VND, cheaper than the DV90T7240BH/SV model in the same segment by a few hundred thousand VND to over 1 million VND, depending on the store.
- The difference between these two models is: The Samsung 9 Kg DV90TA240AE / SV Heatpump Dryer still has manual controls, while the Samsung DV90T7240BH/SV features AI Control smart controls.
- Additionally, it has error reporting and can connect to Wi-Fi via a mobile app for remote control. Perhaps, this is the factor contributing to the higher price of the Samsung DV90T7240BH/SV model.
However, we cannot deny that the Samsung 9 Kg DV90TA240AE / SV Heatpump Dryer under review is impressive, with advanced features and smart technologies such as wrinkle prevention, 2-in-1 filter, water level monitoring with a display... making it a product worth considering.
