ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow control device including an inlet and a pair of outlets and a diverter valve selectively operable to place the inlet in fluid communication with either the first or second outlet in response to a humidity sensitive control mechanism. The fluid flow control device is particularly adapted for utilization with an automatic clothes dryer in which the inlet is coupled to the exhaust outlet of the dryer and the valve is actuated to open the first outlet, communicating with the outside of the house, for example, when the humidity within the exhaust air exceeds a threshold value, and to open the second outlet, which is in communication with an interior space or with a duct in a hot air circulating system, when the humidity of the dryer exhaust air is below the threshold value.
