Dryer comprising a heat sink and a condensate container

The invention relates to a dryer 1 comprising a drying chamber 2 to contain articles 3 to be dried, a process air guide 4 for guiding process air along the articles 3 to pick up humidity from them, a heat sink 5 disposed in said process air guide 4 for precipitating the humidity from the process air as a condensate, a condensate collecting device 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 for collecting the condensate comprising a condensate container 8 to contain the condensate. Said condensate container 8 has an insert 9 permeable by the condensate and projecting through an opening 10 into said condensate container 8 for transferring the condensate to and from said condensate container 8, said insert 9 comprising a first filter 10 for filtering particles from the condensate prior to storing the condensate in said condensate container 8.
