Abstract:
A heat recovery system for use with a washing appliance having a tub includes a heat exchanger having a first tube and a second tube extending through the first tube such that the first tube and the second tube are substantially concentric. A first end connector is configured to couple to a first end portion of the first tube and a first end portion of the second tube. The first end connector is formed as one-piece and includes a first connection portion configured to couple in flow communication with the first tube, and a second connection portion configured to couple in flow communication with the second tube.

Abstract:
An appliance for drying or warming associated laundry items includes a housing having a wall forming a stationary cavity dimensioned to receive the associated laundry items. At least one article support member is preferably contained within the cavity. A heater increases a temperature of associated air within the cavity and a fan circulates the heated air within the cavity. A vent is dimensioned to allow air to exit the housing cavity, and a controller regulates circulation of the associated heated air within the cavity.
