Yes, a condenser dryer does not require ventilation in the traditional sense. Unlike vented dryers, which expel hot and humid air outside through a vent, condenser dryers use a different method to remove moisture from the air inside the machine.
A condenser dryer has a built-in condenser unit, which cools down the hot, moist air produced during the drying process. As the air cools, the moisture in it condenses into water droplets. These water droplets are collected in a removable container or tank within the dryer.
Because the condenser dryer collects and stores the moisture internally, it does not need an external venting system. This makes it more versatile and suitable for homes or apartments where installing a vent to the outside is not feasible or allowed.
However, it's important to note that the water container in a condenser dryer needs to be emptied regularly to ensure efficient drying. If the container becomes full, the dryer may stop working until the water is emptied. Some modern condenser dryers also offer the option to have a drainage hose that allows the condensed water to be pumped directly into a drain, which eliminates the need for manual emptying.
In summary, a condenser dryer does not need ventilation like vented dryers do. It operates by collecting and condensing moisture internally, making it a convenient option for homes without venting capabilities.
