Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
If you're seeking a tumbler that is more eco-friendly and less expensive to run, as well as gentle on your clothes, the heat pump model might be the right choice for you.
A heat pump dryer functions by absorbing water from your clothes using hot air and storing it in a reservoir prior to being used again.
They're less expensive to manage
Heat pump tumble dryers use significantly less energy than condenser or vented models because they don't need to warm the air. They re-use the warm air from previous cycles, and only use electricity to heat the water vapour they draw from your clothes. You'll save money on your energy bills and also help conserve the environment.
The Adaptive Fan Control automatically adjusts fan speed to help reduce drying time and conserve energy. This will ensure a consistent drying process. This ensures that your laundry is dried at a low temperature which is healthier for both your clothes and the environment.
For laundry operations not suitable for the expense and installation of vent ducting UniMac offers a variety of industrial heat pump tumble dryers . These machines are easy to install and do not require ventilation systems since they recycle 100% of the waste air, and then cool it quickly to eliminate moisture before heating it to re-inject heat into the drying cylinder.

They're better for your clothes
The heat pump tumbler is an innovative advancement in the field of laundry technology. It takes your typical tumbler to a new level. It's the gold standard of energy efficiency, gentle fabric care and cost savings over the long run.
You might notice that tumble dryers generally cost a bit more upfront, but the amount you'll save on electricity costs soon will add up. Additionally, you'll notice that they dry your clothes more gently - which helps them last longer.
In a heat-pump tumble dryer, warm and moist air is blown into the drum. The air is then passed through an evaporator, which separates the water from the hot air and then pumps it into tanks (or reservoir). The warm, dry air is then used in the drum multiple times throughout the drying cycle.
This process uses much less energy than condenser and vented dryers which release the heated air they use to dry their clothes into the atmosphere. Your utility costs will rise. Tumble dryers with heat pumps operate at lower temperatures, which helps protect your clothes from wear and damage.
They are more hygiene-friendly since they don't allow excessive moisture to enter the home. This helps to reduce the growth of mildew and mould and keeps your fabric cleaner for longer. They also typically feature moisture sensors to assist you in determining the ideal drying time and prevent over drying.
As they are a closed system that is closed, heat pump tumble dryers also create cool, dehumidified air that keeps your home comfortable and even reduce the load on your cooling or heating system. They are quieter than traditional tumble dryers and can be used in any area of the house.
Another advantage of the heat pump tumble dryer is that they don't need to be plumbed in, as the water is stored in a tank that you can then empty directly into your sink. You can install them anywhere in your home. Even in the shed or garage. All you need is an electrical outlet nearby.
They're more environmentally-friendly
A tumble-dryer with a heat pump is more environmentally friendly than an electric dryer, despite the fact that both make use of electricity to dry laundry. It's because a heating pump dryer uses energy to heat the air that is pumped into its drum, rather than heating the water inside it.
This will decrease your energy bill and the amount of energy used. While a tumble dryer with a heater is more expensive upfront, it is an investment that is worth the cost for your home.
A tumble dryer with a heat pump makes use of up to 50% less electricity than a vented tumble dryer and is the most energy efficient tumble dryer on the market. With the unpredictable weather in the UK throwing a wrench in your outdoor drying plans having a tumble dryer inside that can dry your clothes at any time you'd like is an essential purchase for any household.
In addition to being more sustainable, a pump tumble dryer is more beneficial for your clothes. Tumble drying can be harmful to fabrics, with high temperatures wearing away at them over time. However the use of a heat pump tumble dryer doesn't expose your clothes to these higher temperatures, which means that your favorite jumper will last longer and your delicate silk blouse will look stunning.
One of the biggest problems that has been associated with tumble drying is the release of microfibers into the environment. Microfibers are formed when the fabric of your clothes rubs against itself. these tiny fibers will be sucked up by the tumble dryer and then enter our waterways and rivers. It's estimated that if you tumble dry your clothes, you can produce around 10 times the amount of microfibers in a year as washing them manually.
In the end, scientists are calling for tumble dryers to be equipped with filters to prevent the release of these microscopic fibers into the environment. The tumble dryers with a heat pump come with a filter that is designed to trap microfibers. This reduces the amount of microfibers released into our waterways and rivers.
They are easy to move
These tumble dryers made of heat are a great choice for those looking to cut down on your energy bills and impact on the environment. These models don't produce new hot air to dry your clothes, but they use the warm air that's already in the dryer and reclaim the water it draws from your laundry into a simple-to-empty reservoir.
They may not be as well-known as condenser or vented dryers however, if you have the space and the right environment to use them, they are an excellent choice. Heat pump models are not restricted to vented tumble dryers that must be connected to a vent pipe and placed near an external wall to allow the hot air they create to escape. They can be placed anywhere, provided you have a continuous supply of cool air.
Similar to vented tumble dryers heat pump models can also be freestanding or built into the wall with studs, so you'll have plenty of options for where to place your laundry. They are also easier to move in the event of a house move since they don't require any vent pipes or ducting to be hooked up to.
They may take a bit longer to dry your clothes than tumble dryers but usually they only take a few extra minutes. They're also less abrasive to your clothes because they dry them at less temperature, which is great news if you have sensitive skin or are worried about your favorite jumpers being damaged by high temperatures.
They tend to be more expensive upfront however they can save you money in the long run by reducing your energy bills and environmental impact. If you're thinking of investing in one, ensure you look around and find the best deal on a model that will meet your specific requirements. You'll be grateful you did!
