The densest lint accumulation is at the bends and at the mid-run sections where turbulence from directional changes deposits lint at a higher rate than in straight sections in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates.

In a restricted, heated dryer duct, lint has exactly the heat source it needs in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates.
