Zusammenfassung:A front-load laundry appliance including an in-door condensing system with an air-to-air condenser that forms an air cooling loop inside an in-door cavity. The air cooling loop is a tube that extends in a flat spiral to form multiple loops that gradually increase in radius. The in-door condensing system includes an in-door circulation fan and a heat exchanger fan. The in-door circulation is positioned in the in-door cavity and is arranged to pull moist air from inside the laundry compartment into the in-door cavity where it condenses. The heat exchanger fan is also positioned in the in-door cavity and is arranged to pull cooling air from outside the laundry appliance into the air cooling loop. The air cooling loop of the in-door condenser may alternatively receive a cooling air flow from a chiller located inside the laundry appliance.
