A Study on the Performance of Home Clothes Dryer using Thermoelectric Module

열전소자를 이용한 가정용 의류 건조기의 성능에 관한 실험적 연구

This study was performed to develop a dryer for home clothes using thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module was used as a heat source and a dehumidification device because it has heating part and cooling part at once. To design for maximizing the energy efficiency and the rate of dehumidification, the parameters of the dryer using thermoelectric module are heat capacity and air flow rate. This study showed that the thermoelectric module can be used in the clothes dryer and energy efficiency of clothes dryer be better than that of electric heating dryer.
