Abstract

A heat pump dryer includes a cabinet, a drum rotatably supported within the cabinet, a heat pump including a condenser and an evaporator that are arranged in fluid communication with each other and a floating base plate that is dynamically supported within the cabinet such that the floating base plate is permitted to oscillate relative to the cabinet. The vibration source and at least one of the evaporator and the condenser are mounted on the floating base plate such that operation of the vibration source causes the at least one of the evaporator and the condenser to vibrate and shake water condensate and debris from the at least one of the evaporator and the condenser for improved heat pump circuit efficiency.
