 Clothes
dryers encourage evaporation through heat, tumbling and efficient
air exchanging. In the past, the dryer connection hose
usually laid on the floor behind the dryer with two tight restricting
bends that were probably deformed a bit from the dryer squishing
them against the wall.
That along with the hard 90 degree elbow in the wall contributes
to air movement friction and efficiency loss in exhausting the
hot damp air. Likewise, the clothes took longer to dry
and use more energy to do it.
The chart above shows the weight loss of two identical dryer
loads but with two configurations of exhaust hose. One
exhaust hose was aluminum flex and was relatively straight.
The other exhaust hose was the wire embedded foil type and was
obstructed to assimilate a zig-zag pattern like the picture
to the upper left.
You'll note that the "obstructed" load took
about 9 minutes or 11% longer in running time to attain the
same finished load weight as the "un-obstructed"
load.
It makes sense! The Dryerbox, pays for itself in a number
of different ways.
- For the homeowner, an additional square
foot of living area, a safer home and clothes that dry faster,
requiring less tumbling and less electric or gas.
- For the builder, less call-backs, a laundry
room that appears larger and a new sales pitch.
- For the contractor, a 5 foot credit of
exhaust pipe and the pride of knowing you did the job with
the homeowner in mind.
- For the architect, The Dryerbox® is GreenSpec listed and contributes two U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED credits to the building project. One for optimizing energy performance and one for innovative design features.
