Miele Tumble Dryer PDR 908 HP [MAR 1N AC 230V 50Hz] – 8 kg, 230 V, Lotus white

Eight kilograms of load in a 130 l drum at only 1.44 kW connected load is what sets the PDR 908 HP apart in a shipboard laundry. The machine is a heat-pump dryer with a maximum evaporation capacity of 2.6 l/hour, so moisture is removed steadily without a high electrical peak.

Running at 230V~ 50HZ with a 10 A fuse rating, this Little Giants-series unit fits where only a single-phase supply is available, such as smaller vessels or accommodation decks away from the main switchboard. The maximum floor load of 920 N and a net weight of 71 kg give the naval architect a defined point load to check against the deck structure. Heat dissipation into the room is quoted at 3.6 MJ/h, so the HVAC designer can quantify how much of the laundry’s thermal load this dryer contributes.

Externally the dryer occupies 850 x 596 x 777 mm (H x W x D), which means it can pass through standard narrow doors and fit into confined utility spaces. The gross transport dimensions of 940 x 660 x 820 mm and a gross weight of 77 kg matter for loading plans and elevator capacities during installation. A door opening of 370 mm diameter with a 167° opening angle on a left-hinged door simplifies handling larger items without fighting the door in a tight room.

The drying performance is defined by specific energy consumption figures and programme times rather than by guesswork. For a Cottons/Normal programme with residual moisture at 48 %, the specific energy consumption is 0.2 kWh/kg and the programme duration is 88 minutes. For mixed fibre fabrics at 40 % residual moisture, specific energy consumption is 0.17 kWh/kg with a 76 minute programme. Residual moisture-controlled drying governed by the M Touch Flex control system reduces the risk of over- or under-drying, which is important where linen stocks are limited on board and fabric life needs to be protected.

From an environmental and compliance standpoint, the machine uses R134a as coolant, with a refrigerant quantity of 0.61 kg. The refrigerant global warming potential is 1430 kg CO2e, and the appliance global warming potential is listed as 872 kg CO2e. A recycling rate of 95 % supports end-of-life planning under ship recycling schemes. Approval by Lloyd's Register and the designation PDR 908 HP [MAR 1N AC 230V 50Hz] confirm that this specific variant has been specified and approved for shipboard use rather than adapted on board.

This dryer suits vessels where electrical capacity is constrained, where a 230V~ 50HZ single-phase feed is easier to provide than a high-capacity three-phase line, and where noise levels need to stay at or below ≤70 dB(A) in adjacent accommodation. It is not the right choice for laundries that are sized around very fast turnarounds of large batches, because an 88 minute cottons cycle at 8 kg means total daily throughput is capped by time rather than floor area.
