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.
