US Patent:
6725570, Apr 27, 2004
Filed:
Nov 29, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/306156
Inventors:
Michael W. Confoey - Fall River MA
Dennis Slutsky - Providence RI
Assignee:
American Dryer Corporation - Fall River MA
International Classification:
F26B 2106
US Classification:
34544, 34497, 34138, 34491, 34494
Abstract:
A clothes dryer having a fire protection system. The clothes dryer chamber has an inlet which receives drying air and an exhaust for removing moisture laden air. The temperature within the drying chamber is monitored, and a determination is made from the dryer electronic controller whether or not a fire exists in the tumbler. The fire detection conditions are based on determining whether a certain temperature rise exists within the tumbler when the drying air ceases. The fire suppression system when activated will inject a fire suppressing substance into the tumbler for suppressing the fire.
