Home made heat pump clothes dryer.

I have a spare fully functional electric dryer tjat i dont use and a portable 1 ton A/C unit (not a window unit) that I don't really use any more also.

Probably keep it simple, plumb the A/C discharge into the side of the dryer. Add a hot air bypass if needed.
Don't know how much I will modify the dryer beyond that.
Don't think I will use electric resistance heating at all.
Plumb the cool air into the house.
Locate the whole assembly out in the garage.
Keep it simple.
