Condensing tumble dryers

Condensing drying type

— the key difference between a condenser dryer and a ventilated dryer is that moisture in this case is not removed from the machine, but condenses in a special tank. Due to this, such models can be used on any premises, even in the absence of ventilation. Condenser machines, however, are somewhat more complicated and more expensive than ventilated machines, and the condition of the condensate tank must be constantly monitored (and the water accumulated in it must be periodically drained). However, in most cases, these disadvantages, compared with the advantages, are not significant.

Note that there are two types of condenser machines: classic (recuperator) and with a heat pump. The first one is simple and inexpensive, but it consumes a lot of energy and heats the air in the room a lot. The second one is more efficient and economical, but also much more expensive, for more details see “Heat pump drying”.
