anyone heat their clothes dryer?
« on: February 02, 2012, 08:11:37 PM »

I have heard that there is a setup that can be used to heat your clothes dryer.  Do any of you do that now, and if so how is everything hooked up?

It is pretty simple to do. All you need is a heat exchanger on the air intake to the dryer. I have a solenoid valve on mine that is connected to the power that used to run the gas valve. If I were doing it again I would use a pump instead of the valve and put it on a secondary loop.
