You don't want your dryer venting into an enclosed space. That will just trap the dust, lint and humidity there where it can cause wood to rot and rampant mold growth. Dryers need to be vented to the outdoors.

The dryer vent carries all the wet, humid air from the clothes dryer, along with the fine lint and dust particles that made it past the dryer's lint filter.If the dryer vents to the attic, the attic will get coated over time with the lint, and the increased humidity from the wet air venting into the enclosed space makes ripe conditions for some serious mold growth.If there is no external wall near the dryer where you can vent it directly to the outdoors, extend the dryer vent through the attic to an external attic vent, so that it can vent to the outdoors.

How is a condenser dryer different from a conventional dryer?
A conventional dryer takes air from the room it's in and heats it up, then blows it into the chamber where the clothes are while tumbling the clothes. The cooler more humid air is then vented to the outside. A condenser dryer is basically a refrigerator in reverse. Air from inside the dryer is continually heated up using a condenser which is also cooling the outside air. The heated air is used again and again and the humidity taken out via the condenser, so this type of dryer does not need to be vented to the outside.
