description A laundry appliance (10) includes a blower (16) that directs process air (14) through an airflow path (20). A rotating drum (40) holds articles (20) to be processed. A heat pump system (12) has a condenser and an evaporator. The evaporator dehumidifies the process air (14) that is delivered from the drum (40) and the condenser heats the process air (14) that is delivered from the evaporator. A phase change material (26) retains heat (30) from the condenser that is directed away from the process air (14), and the captured heat (30) of the phase change material (26) is utilized during a subsequent laundry cycle.
