Pressure drops in the flow tract at a constant flow rate of the process air are the key parameters which influence the aerodynamic properties and indirectly improve the energy efficiency of the clothes dryer. To measure pressure drops we designed and manufactured a new measuring station, which included new structure for and testing drying machine including design of electric equipment. On the selected locations of the appliance we have built in pressure tappings and sensors. Data acquisition was performed using data acquisition equipment based on National Instruments LabView. The measured and processed data show disadvantages of the appliance and measures for their elimination.
