If you use an air conditioner, you can do it the Chinese way. In humid cities people hang their clothes near the AC exhaust, since it is "free" hot air. In a super humid city I've seen clothes dry that way in only a few hours.
- sten 10y agoIs this really free? Doesn't it just lower the efficiency of the AC unit?
- detaro 10y agoWhy would it lower AC efficiency? It doesn't use the exhaust air for anything. (Obviously you shouldn't block it)
- Cerium 10y agoNo, the fans are quite strong and have an effect up to a couple meters away. I think it is more like a cat sleeping on the hood of a car. The waste heat needs to go somewhere, might as well put it in my clothes.
- eximius 10y agoThey hang it near, not on top of the vent. And if the exhaust is outside the unit (balcony, etc), it would have basically no effect.
