Ventless drying is an innovative laundry process. It makes possible the convenience of in-unit clothes dryers in homes that don’t have conventional laundry hook-ups. Unlike a conventional dryer, a ventless dryer does not have affixed ducting. This means that it does not conduct moist, heated air out of the appliance and outside of the building. Instead the ventless dryer the other hand, processes the air through heat exchange and cooling. During this process, water is safely drained down a household sink.

2. What is a ventless dryer?
 At first glance, it
looks like any other
dryer.
 But there is one
important
difference.
 A ventless dryer does
not have a vent
attached to it!

3. What is a vent?
 A dryer vent is a tubular
attachment.
 It is fitted to the back of a
conventional dryer.
 Its purpose is to conduct
moist, heated air out of
the dryer.
 The steam is vented
outside of the home and
released into the air.

4. A ventless dryer does not have a vent.
 It processes moist, heated air
through a heat exchanger.
 As a result, it does not require
special installation.
 All you need is an electrical
outlet and access to a drain.
 Simply plug it in and start
drying. It’s that easy!

5. How does a ventless dryer work?
There are two ways… Cold
Water Condensation and Air to
air Condensation Drying.
Both scenarios cool and hot
wet air, the moisture to be
released.
The moisture is then collected
and pumped down the drain.

6. What is the drying process?
 The air in the drum is circulated over a
heating element and then back into the
drum.
 The air gets saturated with moisture
because of the wet clothes
 When the air leaves the drum, it gets
cooled. By water (cold water
condensation) and room air ( air to air
condensation).The cooling releases the
moisture to be pumped down the drain.
 The air then gets cycled back over the
heating element to start the process all
over again.

7. What happens to the water?
 The water is safely
pumped right down
the drain.
 When not in use,
portable washer and
dryer combo can be
easily rolled away and
stored almost
anywhere.

8. What kind of homes can
use ventless dryers?
 Almost any home can
use a ventless dryer.
 Small homes and studio
apartments are ideal
candidates.
 All you need are
electrical power and
access to a drain.

9. Why are ventless dryers
electrical? What about gas?
 Gas dryers must channel fumes outside to avoid hazards.
 With electricity, the problem of fumes does not apply.
 Electric dryers are safer and can operate on 110V or 220V.

10. How long does ventless drying take?
 Compared to conventional dryers, ventless appliances take a bit longer
to fully dry clothing.
 To speed the process, don’t overload the dryer. Leave room for air to
circulate around the laundry.
 A ventless dryer saves time. No more wasting hours at a Laundromat!
