It's also contained in a metal duct. As for the towel, when you put it through the dryer, it's exposed to much higher temperatures than an air duct (and you can also put pillows in a dryer). If the air in the duct was hot enough to be a problem, you're be igniting curtains above heating registers at windows, and setting the wooden house structure around the duct on fire. When the furnace is on, you can hold you hand over a register. | |
