There are kits like this sold online, the one linked, specifically type 4 with a drawer, work as follows.
- Put about 1-2 cm of water in, optional an icepack.
- Run your dryer.
- At the end of the cycle, dump the collected condensed water, optionally swapping the ice pack.
Do these work well enough to dehumidify dryer output in a rental environment?
Edit 1: For those recommending me to buy a ventless / condenser / heat pump dryer.
Feel free to send me $50-100 each, as I cannot afford one.
Do note, I do have a vent near where my dryer is, it is just very loud. Thus why I was thinking of supplementing it with this.
Not remotely. I had an indoor vented heated dryer and needed a huge dehumidifier running all the time. It actually just evaporated the water inside too, and made it even more humid. It DID catch the lint though, and I feel like the water helped with that.
I would recommend against one that was permanently mounted to the wall, like the one that was linked. Wall mounting is fine, but you’re gonna need to give it a good clean every few loads. It’s gonna get nasty.
good point about the complexity, does your room also not have a vent?
