Summary:During the drying phase of the washing programme, a fan extracts the air from the drum to increase the drying effect. The air passes through a collection chamber filled with hygroscopic matter such as copper vitriol, active silicas or carbon. The collection chamber is provided with a heating element to dry out th hygroscopic matter, and the collection chamber can be constructed as a replaceable cartridge. The purpose is to ensure that residual moisture is extracted from the air before it is released into the atmosphere.
