Hey guys, if you look at a steam heating piping system, and you look at the pressure and temperature guages or instruments, you sill see what is called a steam pigtail siphon, it is just a 360 degree loop of pipe that screws into the tee in the pipe, and the other end goes to the guage or instrument, this protects the gauge from the hot steam, because the steam cannot travel around the loop, instead it condensates and runs back into the steam line. Maybe this could be incorporated into your dryer vent to remove the moisture, create a big vertical loop, and a fitting at the bottom of the loop with a hose to drain the fluid.
