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.
I mean, if you can’t have the vent go outside, it’s better than nothing, but it won’t pull a majority out of the vented air without passing over the ice pack multiple times.
Only people I’ve ever known to try them thought they weren’t worth a dime
The sentiment of the others mirror yours, yeah I think its more worth it to aim the exhaust towards our vent fan.
