pyöriväkuivaajia

Pyöriväkuivaaja, often translated as rotary dryer or tumble dryer, is a common appliance used for drying laundry. It operates by tumbling clothes in a rotating drum that is heated. The heat source can be electric, gas, or propane. As the drum rotates, the tumbling action exposes the wet fabric to the heated air, which evaporates the moisture. The moisture is then typically vented out of the appliance.

There are various types of pyöriväkuivaajia, including vented dryers, condenser dryers, and heat pump dryers. Vented dryers expel moist air through a vent to the outside. Condenser dryers collect moisture in a water tank that needs to be emptied periodically, or they can be plumbed to a drain. Heat pump dryers are a more energy-efficient option that recirculates and reheats the air, using a heat pump system to remove moisture.

Users typically select a drying cycle based on the fabric type and desired dryness level. Different cycles may vary in temperature, duration, and tumbling action. Maintenance for pyöriväkuivaajia often includes cleaning the lint filter after each use to ensure efficient operation and prevent fire hazards. Periodically, the interior of the drum and the exhaust vent may also require cleaning.
