Samsung Washer / Dryer

Drying clothes on the street has been a common practice for a long time - on a fine day, all balconies, loggias of huge high-rise buildings and courtyards between standard five-story buildings are filled with laundry. Today, washing machines with dryers significantly reduce the time needed to care for bedding and outerwear, because the drying inside the product is much faster and better - they can immediately be put in the closet.

All the nuances of drying, why it is better, as well as how to choose Samsung equipment with this function, we will describe in detail in this article.

How does drying in a washing machine work?

Such units are equipped with multilayer ceramic heaters, so they are not afraid of various deposits that slide off the body, like water from a goose. The heater is located on top of the drum, its task is to heat the air to uniformly dry the laundry. The whole process is as follows: hot air is supplied by a special fan through the perforations into the drum, which slowly turns in one direction or the other, ensuring uniform drying.

Air saturated with moisture settles in the tank, the water condenses and is drained. This process is final, it can be started at the end of the wash or separately. Modern models of Samsung washing and drying units have 3-4 modes of drying things. There are modes of hot and cold drying, which are respectively suitable for coarse fabrics or delicate linen and items made of synthetics.

Using the gentle drying function, where a low temperature is used, underwear can be dried. If you are in a hurry, set quick drying - the whole process will end in half an hour. Bedding and fluffy jackets receive a rebirth from such drying - the filling does not slip and becomes surprisingly soft.

How to choose the best Samsung model

Washers and dryers are marked in the same way as standard washing technique letters A-G. The division into classes is carried out depending on the humidity of the laundry:

1. A - 45% humidity.
2. B - 54%.
3. C - not less than 63%.

Class D in modern models almost never occurs, because it has a very high humidity - 72%.

Of great importance is the energy consumption during drying, the index of which is calculated in kW per hour per 1 kg of loaded laundry. The lowest consumption is for class A, and the highest is for G. When choosing the best model, the buyer should focus on appliances that have the characteristics of washing, spinning and drying in the same class.

Types of Drying

Samsung washing machines with built-in dryer are equipped with a heating element and a fan for forcing hot air into the product drum. There are such options:

1. Condensation - heated air with moisture passes through a condenser, where water is removed from it, and then the cooled stream again enters the heater. It turns out a closed cycle in which the flow rate of water increases, because part of it cools the condenser.
2. A similar, but without the use of a condenser, hot air with moisture enters the reservoir located at the bottom of the product, where water condenses on the walls of the tank and flows to the drain, and the air stream is cooled by air from the room, which is sucked in by a second fan. With this drying, water is saved.
3. By time - the user sets the required drying period on the timer, depending on the material of things.
4. By residual humidity - a smart technique with the help of sensors determines the level of humidity, independently terminating the drying process of linen. This species is much more effective.

It should be borne in mind that the quality of drying directly depends on the loading of the drum, therefore it is necessary to lay it strictly if possible.

Efficiency and Energy Classes

A single classification appeared only in the early 90s of the last century, and compliance with its requirements became mandatory around the world. The class is denoted by Latin letters from A to G. Just two years ago, the class A was considered the most economical, then the + sign was added, today products with the A +++ sign have already appeared. The class of washing, spin and drying have the same designations.

The class of equipment is determined in the laboratory: cotton linen is put in the drum, the temperature is set to 60 degrees, the washing mode begins. According to the results, the indicator in kW for one hour per 1 kg of loaded things is displayed.

Spin

If earlier only the housewife was doing the laundry, and the rest of the family members helped her with the extraction of large things, now the technician now performs these duties. In a washer-dryer, the spin class is divided similarly to washing and has seven categories: the highest category A, and the lowest - G. It depends on the humidity of the laundry, measured in percent.

Before putting it into the machine, things are weighed, then similar actions are performed with the washed laundry, the dry dry weight is taken away from the wet weight and multiplied by 100 - we get the percentage of moisture. In class A, this indicator is not higher than 45%, in B / C - 54/63%, and in D - 72%, below this limit, automatic equipment is not released.

Another criterion is the speed of the drum: the more revolutions per minute it makes, the faster the spin mode and the higher the class. Most cars have 1000-1400 rpm., But there are direct drive unitsthat accelerate to 1.6-2.0 thousand revolutions.

Security

There is an opinion that the more functions in the unit, the faster it will fail, but a survey of washing machine repair specialists claims the opposite: the main failures of such equipment occur due to users violating operating recommendations and non-compliance with safety measures. The requirements of the washing and drying unit for ensuring normal operation are the same as for all washing machines, only an item has been added recommending that the weight of the loaded laundry for drying be strictly observed.

A typical mistake of users is that they carefully read the instructions - the maximum drum load and the weight of clothes for drying never coincide, if the first is up to 8 kg, then no more than 6 kg can be dried, and sometimes these parameters differ by half, for example, 7 and 3 5 kg. If you forget to remove the excess after washing, then the heater will burn out, so load as much laundry as the machine can dry.

Programs

The set of programs for machines with drying is similar to the standard set of any washing technique: there is an original ECO Bubble option, steam function, which is added directly to the water during the process, in order to better wash clothes, as well as many other newest options. Many products have original reload function without dropping the main program.

Other functions and features

There are separate drying programs for washing and drying units, which are divided into the following options: ready-made items for ironing, gentle drying at low temperatures, ecological and fast for 30 minutes. Modern Samsung models have at least three options for the quality processing of warm air already washed and wrung out linen.

The difference between Samsung models from other brands

A very stylish design, a huge selection of programs and varying degrees of drum loading - everything is done for the convenience of the user and attracting a potential buyer. A clever technique performs all the modes on its own with excellent quality, many modes are accelerated, they take less time than similar ones models of other manufacturers.

Due to the unique design of the drum - its shape resembles the facets of precious stones, water is retained in the cells, forming an additional layer of protection against mechanical damage on the metal case during strong rotation. Technologists assure that your things are more likely to go out of fashion than to change their original appearance.

The heaters are made of ceramics, they are not afraid of deposits, because the surface is resistant to scale, regardless of the hardness of the water used, which is quite relevant for any region of the Russian Federation. The unique system of protection against voltage surges in the network reliably protects the electronic equipment of products.
