Abstract:
A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus is disclosed which includes a course setting procedure receiving a control command including RPM control data of an impeller, RPM control data of a compressor or opening degree control data of an expansion valve, a hot air supply procedure for supplying heated air to a drum through control of the impeller, compressor and expansion valve, a temperature measurement procedure measuring temperature of air introduced into the drum during execution of the hot air supply procedure, a first control procedure for controlling the impeller, compressor and expansion valve based on the control command when the measured temperature is equal to or higher than a reference temperature, and a second control procedure controlling the impeller, compressor and expansion valve based on a control command different from the control command set in the course setting procedure when the measured temperature is lower than the reference temperature.

Claim (Index 16):
A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus that includes a drum, a duct configured to guide air from the drum, an impeller disposed in the duct, a refrigerant tube, an evaporator disposed in the duct, a condenser disposed in the duct, a compressor, an expansion valve configured to adjust a pressure of the based on an opening of the refrigerant tube, and a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the air from the drum, comprising:\n receiving a first control command that includes at least one of control data for the impeller, control data for the compressor, and control data for opening of the expansion valve; supplying heated air to the drum based on control of the impeller, the compressor and the expansion valve; sensing, by the temperature sensor, a temperature of the air in the duct during the supplying of heated air to the drum; first controlling of the impeller, the compressor and the expansion valve based on the first control command when the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference temperature; and second controlling of the impeller, the compressor and the expansion valve based on a second control command when the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is less than the predetermined reference temperature.
