A drying apparatus having a structure capable of improving condensation efficiency, and a washing machine having the same. The washing machine including a cabinet, a tub installed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably installed inside the tub, a condenser duct configured to condense moisture in air introduced from the inside the drum, a drying duct configured to heat the air introduced from the condenser duct and supply the heated air to the inside the drum, and a condensation water storage unit formed at a circumference of the condenser duct to store condensation water that is used to condense the moisture in the air moving inside the condenser duct.

Drying apparatus and washing machine having the same and control method thereof

Disclosed herein is a drum type washing machine including a body, a tub arranged in the body, and a drum rotatably installed in the tub, and an inner surface of a rear wall of the has a flat portion along a rotating direction of the drum.

Drum type washing machine

A dryer and a control method thereof, in which load of an object to be dried is detected using a sensor which has less risk of contamination and an anticipated drying time based on the detected load is accurately determined and displayed. The dryer includes a rotatable drum to accommodate the object, a front support installed at an entrance of the drum to support the drum, a rear support installed at an opposite side of the entrance of the drum to support the drum, an exhaust hole formed in the front support, through which interior air of the drum is discharged, and a humidity sensor installed to the front support at a position adjacent to the exhaust hole, the humidity sensor being located upstream of the exhaust hole in a rotating direction of the drum to detect humidity of the air to be introduced into the exhaust hole.

Dryer

A hermetic compressor for adjusting the length and cross sectional area of a communication path as a refrigerant flow passage, so as to attenuate a discharge pulsation and consequently, a vibration and noise thereof. The hermetic compressor, which includes a cylinder head having a discharge chamber to discharge a compressed refrigerant and a discharge muffler to receive the refrigerant discharged from the discharge chamber, further includes a communication path to communicate the discharge chamber and the discharge muffler with each other, so as to allow the refrigerant to flow from the discharge chamber into the discharge muffler, and an auxiliary communication tube to increase a length of the communication path for increasing a refrigerant flow distance. The auxiliary communication path reduces the cross sectional area of a refrigerant flow passage while increasing a refrigerant flow distance, thereby attenuating a low-frequency component of the discharge pulsation.

Hermetic compressor having auxiliary communication tube

An electrode module capable of improving productivity by integrally bonding a current collector and a pair of electrodes using a protective film. The current collector receives power from an external power supply, and the pair of electrodes receives power from the current collector. The current collector and electrodes are integrally bonded by thermocompression using a protective film.

Electrode module and deionization apparatus using the same

A capacitive deionization apparatus, wherein a spacing distance between electrodes of cells is uniformly maintained and a flow in the cells is optimized to improve efficiency of the deionization apparatus and contact resistance between a carbon material and a collector is reduce to improve electrical conductivity, is disclosed. The capacitive deionization apparatus which includes a plurality of electrode modules, each having a collector and electrodes disposed on upper and lower surfaces of the collector to electrically and chemically remove ions from liquid, includes a plurality of plates made of a stiff material are alternately stacked with the electrode modules such that the electrode modules are spaced at specific intervals, wherein the collector and the electrodes are pressed by a pair of adjacent plates among the plurality of plates to maintain a contact therebetween.

Deionization apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for machine washing that includes a sterilizer capable of continuously exhibiting antibiotic and sterilization functions during washing and rinsing processes and reducing the consumption amount of Ag. The washing machine comprises a water reservoir to contain washing water, a sterilizer sterilizing the washing water through an electrolysis process, and a circulator circulating the washing water in the sterilizer.

Apparatus and method for machine washing

A rotary compressor including a housing having first and second compressing chambers separated from each other, first and second flanges coupled to the housing, to close the first and second compressing chambers, respectively, an intermediate plate to separate the first and second compressing chambers from each other, first and second rollers rotatably installed in the first and second compressing chambers, respectively, first and second vanes to reciprocate in a radial direction of the first and second compressing chambers to divide the first and second compressing chambers, respectively, and a vane control device to control the reciprocating movement of the first vane by use of a suction pressure and a discharge pressure, for a variation in compression capacity. A first gap, defined at an end of the first roller, is smaller than a second gap defined at an end of the second roller.

Rotary compressor defining gaps of different sizes

A variable capacity rotary compressor capable of reducing collision noise of a vane with a roller. The variable capacity rotary compressor includes a vane controller controlling the operation of a vane in order to vary compression capacity. The vane controller includes a control valve that switches a fluid channel so as to selectively apply discharge pressure and intake pressure to the vane guide slot, a connection channel that connects the control valve with the vane guide slot, a high-pressure channel that connects the control valve with a discharge side of the compressor, and a low-pressure channel that connects the control valve with an intake side of the compressor, and a throttle section that reduces the fluid channel of at least one of the high-pressure channel and the connection channel in order to reduce an initial discharge pressure applied to the vane guide slot.

Variable capacity rotary compressor having vane controller
