I believe Robert has a'58 Frigidaire condensing dryer., so not really on the cutting edge for '59.... I don't think the dryness sensor was far behind. |

MT and HP were the only two US companies that sold water condensing dryers. MT made theirs from about 1952-1965, thier first machine did not have a lint filter but when it was redesigned around 1956 they added a blower and LF. MTs WCDs used about 1/3 gallon of cold water per minute or around 20 gallons for the average load. HPs WCDs used about 1/2 GPM of water or again 30 GPL. MT actually had the electronic control on its WCDs starting in the early 1960s, Frigidare also made Electronically controlled models in 1965 of thier air-cooled condenser clothes dryers. I believe that Westinghouse was the last company to make a WCD in the US. They had one that stacked on thier FL washer and the drain hose went directly into the washers stand-pipe so no water pump was used, these were made around the late 1960s, we have one that I am restoring. For obvious reasons all no-vent condenser dryers were electric. |
