    摘要: A clothes dryer includes a drum with a first flow path and a flow guiding component with a second flow path. These paths are fluidly connected. Positioned between the drum and component is a switching valve. This valve comprises an air-exchange chamber with a first and second chamber. The first chamber has a first inlet linked to the second flow path and a first outlet linked to the environment. The second chamber has an inlet connected to the environment and an outlet connected to the first flow path. A through hole exists between both chambers. The sealing assembly includes a driving member and two sealing members. The driver rotates the first sealing member, which can selectively cover the first outlet and through hole, while the second member can cover the second outlet.

    摘要: A heat pump appliance may include a cabinet, a sealed thermodynamic assembly, a blower fan, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The sealed thermodynamic assembly may include a fluid compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser disposed along the air path. The temperature sensor may be mounted to the evaporator to detect temperature at the evaporator. The controller may be configured to direct a drying operation. The drying operation may include activating the fluid compressor to motivate a refrigerant through the sealed thermodynamic assembly, activating the blower fan to motivate the airflow across the condenser, directing the fluid compressor to an inactive state following activating the blower fan, detecting an evaporator temperature at the temperature sensor while the fluid compressor is in the inactive state following activating the blower fan, and adjusting activation of the blower fan based on the detected evaporator temperature.
