Laundry dryer

A laundry dryer having a drum, a casing supporting the drum and including a basement defining a basement plane, a basement process air conduit located in the basement and extending within the basement for a given length and having a basement air conduit width, and a heat pump having a first heat exchanger where refrigerant is cooled off and the process air is heated up, and a second heat exchanger where refrigerant is heated up and the process air is cooled off. The first heat and second heat exchangers are in the basement process air conduit to perform heat exchange between said refrigerant flowing in said heat pump circuit and said process air. The width of the basement air conduit along a first portion of its extension in the basement is wider than 50% of the width of the basement.
