I'm surprised it would separate the moisture as well. Do you have to cool anything to get it to condense? I imagine you are more tolerant of a little extra water in the air than we are.
It loses heat in the pipe on the way, then drops the temperature at the expansion at the end (not a huge delta P but it's in the right direction). And yes, the extra humidity was part of the goal.
We used to have a little bucket attachment on the end of the hose that you put an inch or so of water in, to catch the lint, and we thought the warmth and moisture would be good. The bit of water dried out immediately but it never did trap any lint... I don't think it was moving enough air.
The new dryer vents out near the back steps. Remains to be seen whether it keeps the steps clear of ice or gives them a nice glaze all winter.

Our duct run went to a bad spot, and it was about 20 ft long. We wound up with so much condensation in the duct it was problematic. Plus the old units were 2000 vintage apartment over/under specials. They didn't hold much and used 30+ gallons of water per load. The new ones take twice as much laundry and use less than way less than 10 gallons per load. The heat pump dryer is super efficient too, and doesn't release a lot of heat in the room like the condenser units do.
We wanted to scavenge the dryer heat but the dust was a problem, so we scored one of these:
Works a treat. Condensation collects in the bucket along with the dust, warm air out the top.

New washer dryer. Super high efficiency and ductless. The dryer has a heat pump and dumps the water down the same drain as the washer (or collects in a box that you have to dump). Also super compact for the boat. I actually had to dismantle the old unit that was in there. There was one conceivable way to get it out without breaking it down, but it turned out ot be easier just to get out the wrenches.
These are Asko. Swedish, so they match the engines! Now we have to learn the hundreds of different program combinations.
Those look cool. We replaced our Bosch stackers with traditional Maytag but now the dryer is gas and next to an exterior wall. The old ones were electric and ducted up into the attic and out. The 2' run of ducting really improves performance... we actually have never dried anything on hot, 'cause the low setting is warmer than the old one ever got and the wind out in the driveway when the thing is going is strong. I still expect cats to lay in the warm spot out there in the winter.

Getting the dust into the engine is easy, DeBruin says—that's why this whole thing is a problem to begin with. The rig pumps roughly five gallons of sand out of what look like small hoses, into the air just in front of a running engine, which sucks them in.
Once the test engine's taken a trip to the beach, the Peebles crew disassembles the engine for what it calls a diagnostic teardown. They take photos, swab parts for chemical analysis, and pull out chunks for metallurgical analysis under a microscope. Thanks to computer simulations, the engineers have a good idea of what to look for going in, but real-life testing provides more believable data. Based on the results, the crew will tweak engine designs and change up the metal coatings they use, until they find the right fit.
Before allowing a new kind of engine into service, GE will run hundreds of thousands of test cycles on the development prototype. Hot and harsh testing is just one element of that an aging process that redlines the engine for 150 hours, to simulate five to seven years of wear and spot things that will become problems far in advance. Once that's done, says DeBruin, "we've abused that engine beyond anything it's going to see in flight."
Yeah, but I was thinking that instead of making a flying boat like that it would be cool to just mount it on a pair of floats like this:
More weird eccentric that practical, and I think the FAA would have a stroke making up new paperwork, but you would be the first guy to the remote salmon camp.

What's the range? Can you get to Macau and put it on red?

So the air ambulance guy I was helping fell apart and left a lot of debt and angry people behind. While dealing with them on options I finally put together a deal to clean up some of the problems and handle the legacy assets. I'm now the managing member of a new LLC called Aircraft Technologies, and this is our first confirmed new asset.
There is one more that's actually in a lot better shape that will be official next week.
Too bad I'm too poor to actually use them (they burn about $1,000 an hour in fuel, and have another $1,500 an hour in costs and maintenance reserves). But they go 400 MPH!
can you land it on your ship?
Maybe if you took careful aim, but you could only do it once and it would be anything but smooth. I'd recommend against it.
but now that you bring it up, I wonder if we could fit it with floats?
