Dryers in the washing machines do the procedure of drying clothes. Ordinary machines require human intervention to wash and dry clothes separately. This requires human intervention to unload the wet clothes to its corresponding dryer. But the every day growing technology has brought up the  single unit of washer-dryer in todays washing machines. This eliminates the need for the separation of clothes from the washing tub to the dryer.

How does the air dryer work?
There are two types of drying systems. One of them requires outside air to perform the process of drying. The dryer starts to spins the clothes inside the chamber. Simultaneousl, it takes and heats up the machine surrounding air (outside air)to these spinning clothes. The hot air evaporates the moisture content from the clothes. The generated steam leaves the dryer through the corresponding vents on the washing machine. This is process of drying in machines with vents.

Here comes the case of machines without vents. These machines have condensors to perform  the function of drying. When the wet clothes are in the dryer, the condensing chamber is cooled. When the dryer starts to spin, the air inside it gets heated up. This hot air picks up the water content from clothes, and thus condensation happens in the  chamber. The resultant water will be drained through the corresponding tube in the machine. And this makes the clothes dry.
