Abstract
A clothes treating apparatus includes a cabinet and a drum rotatably installed within the cabinet. The clothes treating apparatus also includes a circulation flow path in which exhaust air discharged from the drum is re-supplied to the drum and a condenser configured to allow the exhaust air and cooling air introduced from an outside of the cabinet to be heat-exchanged. The clothes treating apparatus further includes a cooling flow path configured to guide the cooling air toward the condenser and a blowing fan configured to introduce air from outside of the cabinet to an interior of the cooling flow path. In addition, the clothes treating apparatus includes a discharge opening that discharges cooling air, which has passed through the condenser, to an interior of the cabinet. The rotational shaft of the drum is disposed between the discharge opening and the blowing fan.
