Combination washing and drying apparatuses including cooled water condensers

An apparatus (10) comprising a closed drying air circuit (18), the apparatus comprising:

• a drum (16, 106, 186) in communication with the closed drying air circuit;
• a condenser (28, 118, 202) in communication with the closed drying air circuit and located downstream of the drum, the condenser comprising a cooled water inlet (60) that directs cooled water into heated air to remove moisture from the heated air, the condenser comprising a condenser water outlet (75) for egress of water from the condenser, the cooled water inlet of the condenser configured to receive water from a tap water source (38);
• a thermoelectric apparatus (36, 126, 210) comprising a thermoelectric device (52, 142, 224), the thermoelectric apparatus comprising a cold side flow device (46, 136, 212) arranged between the cooled water inlet of the condenser and the tap water source, the cold side flow device configured to receive tap water from the tap water source and cool the tap water below a tap outlet temperature using the thermoelectric device before the tap water enters the cooled water inlet of the condenser;
• and
• a cooled water recirculation loop (92, 162) that directs at least some of the cooled water leaving the cold side flow device back to the cold side flow device to reintroduce the cooled water to the cold side flow device.
