Default Condensing Tumble Driers

Condensing driers are much more energy efficient. Instead of blowing
hot air outside they reuse it round and round, just extracting the

The question is, how do they extract the water? I heard tell that some
use copious amounts of cold water so although your heat-energy argument
could hold in that instance, surely the water-conservation argument is
lost? Presumably (since it's in a bedroom) Suz's drier doesn't do this,
so how does it work?

Just curious...

Hwyl!
