Whirlpool Introduces Ventless Heat Pump Clothes Dryer
BENTON HARBOR, Mich.—Appliance manufacturer Whirlpool Corp. has unveiled a new clothes dryer that uses an innovative refrigeration system to dry and recycle the air that a typical dryer would vent. By repurposing air, the dryer reduces energy consumption and eliminates the need for an outside vent, the company said. Whirlpool will begin shipping units to select U.S. markets before the end of 2014 and will expand to other U.S. markets and Canada in early 2015.
