The heat exchanger extracts the heat from the dryer exhaust and
transfers it to the incoming replacement air. The damp (cooled) air is
vented outside. I'm not sure what the efficiencies are, but I believe
that the (already in use) dryer blower does all the work.


So it must do it without the air actually mixing?
Or do the physics of it all dictate that the moisture will stay with the
cool air?
