I think that the Heat **Exchanger** bit should be noted.
Someone on this forum (Daox?) was building a dryer vent heat exchanger for house heat. How about if we turned it around and fed the waste HEAT (Not Waste Gasses) in to the intake of the dryer? Not sure how much heat could be recovered, but any is better than none. AND What if you had 2 vents outdoors? One air Intake, and 1 air exhaust? That way you wouldn't get cold air infiltration in to your home making up for the waste gasses going out.
