    Hello.

    As I have a huge problem with drying the laundry, and at the same time a fairly small apartment, I was faced with the problem of purchasing and placing a condenser dryer.

    Unfortunately, I can only put the dryer in the wardrobe. The question is whether something like this has a chance of success at all. I assume installation of ventilation openings in the door of the wardrobe, and in the back of the wardrobe (the wall opens onto the kitchen) openings with 2 x 90 mm fans. The fans would turn on with the dryer. I thought about connecting the warm air outlet from the dryer with a cable directly to the hole in the wall.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Look for one that has the option of connecting the pipe to the outlet and lead it outside. If the pipe is long, use a fan.

    condenser dryers. The air circulates in a closed circuit . After collecting the moisture from the laundry, it flows through a special exchanger, where it is cooled with the air taken from the room. The water vapor contained in it condenses and flows out to the water tank or through a conduit directly to the sewage system.

    You only need to take care of the "efficiency" of the ventilation openings - inlet and outlet from this cabinet.

    Unfortunately the vent is too far. Besides, only a gravity lift works in the block - as far as I know, no devices can be connected to it.

    That's what I'm getting at. The only question is how big must this "capacity" be. Are there enough holes (as many as possible) or do you need fan assistance?

    Insert a photo of this dryer, especially from the side of the vents.
    In general, the surface area of the openings in the cabinet (top and bottom, inlet / outlet) should be slightly larger than the surface of the openings of the device (inlet / outlet) to minimize airflow resistance, which will have a slightly longer distance to travel (frictional resistance).
    You can also insert a supporting exhaust fan for cirka PLN 40.
    what, it depends on the flow in the device.
    The intake of cool air is supposed to be at the bottom, the outlet at the top, I think it even writes unnecessarily.
    Such a device is so good that it also heats the room - the bathroom should be warm.

    Unfortunately, I have not yet purchased the dryer. I have the model I want, but unfortunately no photos of the rear part.

    I absolutely do not want the kitchen to be even warmer, let alone in the wardrobe. :) In addition, in the manuals of several dryers, I found the information that it should not be installed in a bathroom or room with a shower (?).

    Then you will open your window. It would be hard to install an air conditioner on this occasion.
    The kitchen, as the name suggests, is used to dry the laundry.
    I wanted to shine with the knowledge that the bathroom is more intended for this. :wink:
    I couldn't know about the showers and the prohibition.

    A condenser dryer with a heat pump gives off much less heat

    I know, but unfortunately the place in the wardrobe is calculated down to the centimeter. The dryer I mentioned earlier is 54cm deep, all with a pump of at least 60cm.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenges of installing a condenser dryer in a small apartment closet, specifically addressing ventilation issues. The user plans to create ventilation openings in the wardrobe door and wall, utilizing two 90mm fans to assist with airflow. Responses highlight the importance of ensuring adequate ventilation openings for efficient operation, suggesting that the surface area of these openings should exceed that of the dryer’s vents to minimize airflow resistance. Concerns about heat generation and the suitability of the installation location, particularly in relation to kitchen and bathroom environments, are also raised. The user mentions a specific Electrolux model but is cautious about space constraints and heat output.
