No. There will be heat loss due to heating up the mass of the dryer drum, and the mass of the clothes affects heat retention as well. I think there are actually quite a few difficult to measure variables here. I suspect the easiest way to test this is empirically. Take your white and colored loads, dry them separately and measure the time for separate drying. Then wet the exact same loads and dry them together. The shorter time is probably your more energy efficient method, provided your dryer is doing tricky things with internal temperatures that might affect gas/electricity usage. -b -- children are luxury goods. <peter rogers> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
