What is a vented tumble dryer and how does it work?

A vented tumble dryer is a type of clothes dryer that expels the warm, moist air generated during the drying process outside of the home through a vent or hose. Here are the key characteristics of a vented tumble dryer:

• Airflow System: Vented dryers draw in air from the surrounding environment, heat it, and then pass it through the drum where the clothes are tumbling. The hot air absorbs moisture from the clothes, and the resulting damp air is expelled outside through a vent.

• Installation Requirements: These dryers need to be installed near an external wall or window, where a vent hose can be fitted to expel the moist air. Proper installation is crucial to ensure efficient operation and prevent condensation buildup in the home.

• Efficiency: Vented dryers are typically more energy-efficient than condenser tumble dryers because they do not need to condense the moisture into water before expelling it. However, their efficiency can be affected by the length and straightness of the venting hose.

• Maintenance: Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after each use and occasionally checking the vent hose for any blockages or buildup of lint to ensure optimal airflow and drying performance.

• Cost: Vented tumble dryers are generally less expensive to purchase compared to other types of dryers, such as condenser or heat pump dryers.

Overall, vented tumble dryers are a practical and cost-effective option for many households, provided that proper venting can be accommodated.
