Gas dryer exhaust pipe-filter

[Rockers]

Our shop is located in a mixed residential and office area and one company that rents offices close to pur property have complaint about the heat and smell coming out of the exhaust pipe of our dryer. Apparently it`s getting to warm inside their offices and they can smell it too. I guess it has to be the smell when we do discharge. I find it hard to believe that they can get effected at all by what is coming out of the exhaust. Their is at least a 1m gap between the 2 buildings and their is no window on that side of their property. Anyway, just to avoid any further confrontation I`m looking at some options to reduce the smell and heat. Are their any filters that can be fitted inside the exhaust pipes?

Generally we add to height of any exhaust to move steam, heat, or hydrocarbons, smells, etc. up and away from infiltration.

I would have to agree. Adding height would have to be much cheaper than anything you could do to filter the exhaust. I imagine a filter system that can remove exhaust odors would be ridiculously expensive. (if it's even possible)

If we add hight the exhaust will be right next to their building. So generally we are on the groundfloor, the exhaust is run through the rear wall of our building exiting maybe at a hight of 2.5 meters.
The next building starts at a hight of 3 meters as they have a car park on the groundfloor, the building is standing on "legs". And to be honest the air coming out the exhaust is not really that hot and considering the next building is 1 meter away  form us has no windows on that side and the air being blown out towards the ground I can`t really see how it would effect them.

Can you go up and gooseneck back to exhaust toward your roof? That might work.

Typically local code says your exhaust should be higher than the roof of your building. That generally prevents the problem you are having. Check your local code.
