Controlled humidity release system

A method for selectively releasing humidity from a washing unit comprising:

• directing a dry air input from an outside atmosphere through a port to enter a washing drum during a drying process of the washing unit;
• directing a humid air output from an internal cavity of the washing drum through a vent to exit the internal cavity;
• directing the humid air output through the vent to a release pipe coupled to the vent;
• measuring a humidity value using one or more external measurement devices and communicating the humidity value to a processor;
• opening a damper operatively coupled to the release pipe when the measured humidity value is below a threshold value to release a first portion of the humid air output to the outside atmosphere;
• closing the damper when the measured humidity value is above the threshold value;
• and
• directing a second portion of the humid air output to a condenser to remove and drain a remaining moisture content.

• directing the humid air output to an release pipe coupled to the vent;
• measuring a first humidity value of the outside atmosphere using an on-board relative humidity sensor and communicating the first humidity value to a processor;
• measuring a second humidity value of the outside atmosphere using one or more external devices and communicating the second humidity value to the processor;
• comparing the first humidity value and the second humidity value using a comparison module of the processor to determine a verified humidity value;
• opening a damper operatively coupled to the release pipe when the verified humidity value is below a threshold value to release a portion of the humid air output to the outside atmosphere;
• closing the damper when the verified humidity value is above the threshold value;
• and
• directing a remaining portion of the humid air output to a condenser to remove and drain a remaining moisture content.
