reclaiming heat from dryer...need ideas.

razor02097 · 11-06-13, 10:19 AM

I would like to design a system to reclaim the heat from my clothes dryer during the winter... I would like to use a heat exchanger instead of venting the air inside and have some sort of way to drain any condensation that builds up. I also need to think about lint buildup and moisture... Anyone have ideas?

I would just vent the air in the basement but I'm worried about the humidity.
