Abstract
A dryer includes a cabinet, a drum installed in the cabinet and having an inlet through which air is introduced and an outlet through which air is discharged, a heat exchanger configured to remove moisture of the air discharged through the outlet and increase a temperature of the air, a fan installed between the outlet and the heat exchanger and configured to guide the air discharged through the outlet to be introduced into the heat exchanger, a blowing passage connecting the fan to the heat exchanger such that the air discharged through the fan is introduced into the heat exchanger after being bent at 90 degrees, and a vane installed perpendicular to a bottom surface of the blowing passage and disposed at a portion in the blowing passage in which the air introduced into the heat exchanger has a highest flow rate.
