IMPROVED DRYING MACHINE FOR LINEN WITH FRESHENING FUNCTION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC D06F58/20 D06F58/24 D06F73/02 

FIELD: textile, paper.

SUBSTANCE: domestic drying machine comprises a rotary drum, an air circulation channel, a condenser to extract moisture from drying air, a tray to collect condensed moisture and hydraulic facilities capable of taking water from the tray and sending it to spraying facilities in a vapour form or in the form of splashes directly into a drum or an air circulation channel. Besides, the hydraulic facilities comprises a tube going out from the tray with a branch connected with an appropriate pump and via a selectively controlled valve with a secondary tank. The secondary tank is connected to the channel, and also to spraying or steaming facilities, and the valve comprises facilities to filter the liquid flow that passes through it. The filter may be removed and taken out of the valve body. When the filter is installed in the valve, it sends water through, and when the filter is extracted from the valve, the inlet opening of the valve remains closed.

EFFECT: invention eliminates clogging of reheated steam injection facilities with hair and excludes repeated ingress of hair into a drying air circuit.
