The air is cooled this way and then recirculated back into dryer. It absorbs heat and condenses it. This is similar to the way an air conditioner operates.

Once the heat pump has absorbed warmth and condensed moisture and is returned to the system, which means it can reuse this energy for future cycles. That's why a heat pump dryer consumes less energy than vented models. This model uses about 50 percent less power than a vented tumbler of similar size.

This lower energy consumption is offset by slightly longer drying times. In general the case of heat pump dryers, they take about 50-70% longer time to dry clothes than conventional models.

This means that your clothes are not hot when they come out of the dryer, and do not require reheating to remove wrinkles.

The dryers that use heat pumps can take as much as half the time to dry a load as compared to conventional tumble dryers.
