Abstract
A laundry treatment appliance includes a cabinet; a drum rotatably mounted within the cabinet; a sealed system; a duct system; a blower fan capable of operating at variable rotational speeds; and a controller configured to perform an operation. The operation includes directing the blower fan at a preliminary rotational speed; determining a condensation capacity of the sealed system with regards to the process air in the duct system; determining a mass flow rate of moisture in the process air while directing the blower fan at the preliminary rotational speed; determining a target rotational speed of the blower fan corresponding to a set ratio of the determined condensation capacity to the determined mass flow rate; and directing the blower fan at the determined target rotational speed.
