Talk:Clothes dryer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed the line: "(also spelled drier)" - the word "drier" is an adjective, not a noun. Also, wikipedia is not a dictionary, and as such does not exist to provide alternate ways of spelling a subject title. Alternate spellings should redirect to either a disambiguation page or to the article itself. ▫Bad▫harlick♠ 13:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The Heat Pump Dryer section states "As with condensation dryers, the heat exchanger will not dry the internal air to as low a level of humidity as the ambient air". I'm fairly sure this statement is false. Much like a room dehumidifer, a heat pump dryer should pass the the return stream of air over the cold evaporator coil. The lower temperature condenses out extra water ("extra" relative to ambient temperature.) When the air is returned to ambient temperature, it's relative humidity is lower than ambient. --Mwnug (talk) 02:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Energy Star

removed the line about Energy Star not rating clothes dryers "because most of the clothes dryers marketed in the U.S. consume similarly massive amounts of energy", as the statement is not true (both gas and electric models are marketed in the US, e.g., with considerable difference in consumption). I suspect there are other reasons, but don't know of the official one.Tgoyle (talk) 21:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
