True. Another possibility for exhausting heat to the room is that by
adding a CH feed to the heat exchanger via a solenoid valve, it could
double as a kind of 'kick space' heater to heat the room when the
drier or washer/drier is not being used.

This could save on wall space for a radiator which may be at a premium
in small kitchens.

Are you're talking about it just to heat the room? What about using a feed
from the CH loop to heat the clothes drying air - anyone tried that?

A quick look at my own drier shows the air intakes to be front & bottom.
Looks like it could be modified to take a ducted flow from a kickspace
heater, maybe siting underneath it. Obviously this would increase the
height, but ok for those who don't have theirs under a counter.

Opinions?
