PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dryer for clothing or the like which, in a small-sized heat-pump device capable of being stored in a free space formed in the lower back part of a storage tub for drying clothing or the like and narrow in a front-and-back direction in a casing, suppresses an increase in the air flow resistance of an air passage formed in the heat pump device, thereby maintaining prescribed drying performance and suppressing an increase in drying noise.SOLUTION: An airflow flows from an inflow port 19a of a heat-absorber air passage 19 located on the left side of a casing 1 to a side part 25b of a discharge chamber 25 which communicates with the large openings of an upper part 23a and a side part 23b of a suction chamber 23 and communicates with an outflow port 20b of a radiator air passage 20 located on the right side opposite to the inflow port 19a. While the effective flow passage cross-sectional areas of a heat absorber 12 and a radiator 13 in a heat exchange chamber 14 are kept large from the heat-absorber air passage 19, a flow velocity can be reduced, so that an increase in the air flow resistance of the inside of the heat-absorber air passage 19 and the heat absorber 12 can be suppressed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】本発明は、筐体において、衣類等を乾燥する収納槽の後方下部に形成された前後方向が狭い空きスペースに収納できる小型のヒートポンプ装置で、ヒートポンプ装置内に形成された風路の通風抵抗の増加を抑え、所定の乾燥性能を維持し、かつ乾燥騒音の増加を抑える衣類等の乾燥機を提供する。【解決手段】筐体１の左方向に位置する吸熱器風路１９の流入口１９ａから吸込みチャンバー２３の上部２３ａおよび側部２３ｂの大きな開口に連通し、流入口１９ａとは逆の右方向に位置する放熱器風路２０の流出口２０ｂと連通する吐出チャンバー２５の側部２５ｂに気流が流れる構成とし、吸熱器風路１９から熱交換室１４の吸熱器１２、放熱器１３の有効流路断面積を大きく保ちつつ、かつ流速を減速することができ、吸熱器風路１９内および吸熱器１２の通風抵抗の増加を抑えることができる。【選択図】図５
