This Miele washer-dryer has a complex control panel and display to handle various options (2012). A combo washer dryer (also known more simply as a washer-dryer in the UK) is a combination in a single cabinet of a washing machine and a clothes dryer. It should not be confused with a "stackable" combination of a separate washing machine and a ...
In 2006, Sanyo introduced the "world-first" (as of February 2, 2006, with regards to home use drum-type washer/dryer) drum-type washing machine with "Air Wash" function (i.e.: using ozone as a disinfectant). It also reused and disinfected rinse water. [93] This washing machine uses only 50 L (11.0 imp gal; 13.2 US gal) of water in the recycle mode.
Older and larger dryers still use R-22 and R-404a refrigerants. The goal of having two heat exchangers is that the cold outgoing air cools down the hot incoming air and reduces the size of compressor required. At the same time the increase in the temperature of outgoing air prevents re-condensation. Some manufacturers produce "cycling dryers".
A vertical-axis washing machine has two mechanisms: a central agitator for washing and a drum for spinning, both driven by the same motor and controlled independently by clutches to the belt drive. The wig-wag is mounted atop the washing machine's transmission, where it oscillates back and forth like a railroad signaling wigwag (hence the name ...
Parts washers were originally developed for use in automotive transmission and engine repair shops as a way to improve the function of simple soak tanks.Soak tanks are vats filled with a mixture of water and detergent, which take hours to "soften" the built-up road grime, fluids, tars and oils enough to be manually rinsed off prior to disassembly and repair.
The following are some general methods of drying: Application of hot air (convective or direct drying). Air heating increases the drying force for heat transfer and accelerates drying. It also reduces air relative humidity, further increasing the driving force for drying. In the falling rate period, as moisture content falls, the solids heat up ...
It drywasher operates by the use of air. [1] By forcing air to flow up through the material as it moves down the sluice, the heavier materials, like gold, will stay at the bottom and get trapped by the riffles while the lighter materials will flow up and over the riffles or be blown away. The lighter material that is not blown away will slowly ...
A dry line (also called a dew point line, or Marfa front, after Marfa, Texas) [1] is a line across a continent that separates moist air and dry air. One of the most prominent examples of such a separation occurs in central North America , especially Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, where the moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets dry air from the ...
