Drum-type washing machine equipped with drying device

A drum-type washing machine equipped with a drying device, the drying device including a discharging duct configured to connect an outlet of a blowing fan with an air inlet of a fixed drum, and a condensing duct configured to connect an air inlet of the fixed drum with an inlet of the blowing fan and provided with a condensing unit to remove moisture, the condensing unit including a curved portion having a minimum rate of deviation and increasing to a maximum rate of deviation relative to a straight portion of the condensing duct, the condensing unit comprising:

• a cooling water dispersion member supplying cooling water to an inside of the condensing duct while dispersing the cooling water;
• an ascent limitation projection mounted in the condensing duct to prevent condensate water from being moved upward together with an air current, said ascent limitation projection protruding from the inner surface of the condensing duct, and extending in a direction crossing the flow direction of air, and said ascent limitation projection is mounted on a portion of the inner surface of the condensing duct proximate to the maximum rate of deviation of the curved portion;
• and
• a condensate water capture projection, the condensate water capture projection being formed at a position lower than that of the ascent limitation projection on a portion of the inner surface of the condensing duct proximate to the minimum rate of deviation of the curved portion so that condensate water falling downward from the ascent limitation projection is captured thereon.

A condensing unit in a laundry machine, comprising:

• a condensing duct;
• a cooling water dispersion member mounted to an inside surface of the condensing duct, the cooling water dispersion member disbursing cool water inside the condensing duct;
• an ascent limitation member mounted above the cooling water dispersion member on the inside surface of the condensing duct, the ascent limitation member causing moist vapor in the condensing duct to condense into water droplets;
• a condensate water capture projection positioned between the ascent limitation member and the cooling water dispersion member, the condensate water capture projection capturing water droplets falling from the ascent limitation member;
• and
• a cooling water supply tube supplying water to the cooling water dispersion member;
• and
• wherein the cooling water dispersion member includes a curved portion to contain a water volume.

A condensing unit in a laundry machine, comprising:

• a condensing duct;
• a cooling water dispersion member mounted to an inside surface of the condensing duct, the cooling water dispersion member disbursing cool water inside the condensing duct;
• an ascent limitation member mounted above the cooling water dispersion member on the inside surface of the condensing duct, the ascent limitation member causing moist vapor in the condensing duct to condense into water droplets;
• and
• a cooling water supply tube supplying water to the cooling water dispersion member,
• wherein:
• the cooling water dispersion member includes a curved portion to contain a water volume,
• the condensing duct includes a curved portion with a rate of deviation relative to a straight portion of the condensing duct,
• the curved portion includes an upper wall and a lower wall, the upper wall having a longer radius of curvature relative to the lower wall,
• the ascent limitation member is positioned on the upper wall, and
• the water dispersion member is positioned on the lower wall.
