First, let us try to follow the path of the air that goes through the clothes dryer. When you start your machine, the air gets sucked into the clothes dryer through the openings in the machine. This air is needed to dry our clothes, of course, and without it this machine wouldn't be able to operate.
The air that goes inside is there with the help of one fan that drives all of the air through the clothes dryer. But you must remember that this fan is actually the last step in the air moving process. What happens next, is that air goes out the clothes dryer by his own will. This is where you need a duct to get rid of that hot air through to roof, or sometimes through the wall. But, it will move slowly and there is a possibility that you will have problems. This is why you need other fan, the one that will be on the other side and suck the air out of the dryer, leading it out through the duct.
We want to say this again, because people seem to forget it all the time. If you have a clothes dryer that is powered by propane or natural gas, it is DANGEROUS to vent the air to the inside. Do not do this, under no circumstances. The exhaust gas is blown out along with the heated air, thus poisoning your basement with carbon monoxide. Make sure you vent it through the roof and use a exhaust fan to get rid of the dangerous air.
