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

An 8 kg design load in a 130 litre drum on a connected load of 1.44 kW defines the PDR 908 HP [MAR 1N AC 230V 50Hz]. Programme duration for a Cottons/Normal cycle at 48 % residual moisture is 88 minutes, so laundry planning has to assume 88‑minute turns rather than short shuttle cycles.

For a shipboard laundry the single‑phase 230V~ 50HZ electrical connection and 10 A fuse rating are central. Where only limited spare capacity is available on the hotel distribution, a 1.44 kW dryer on a 230 V circuit is simpler to integrate into the load schedule than a higher‑draw unit. Heat dissipation into the room is quoted at 3.6 MJ/h and the maximum floor load at 920 N; in a confined laundry compartment with defined HVAC and deck loading those figures go straight into technical approval and naval architecture checks. The machine is specified for offshore installations, specified and approved for shipboard use and carries Lloyd's Register approval, so it fits documentation sets that require explicit marine certification.

The drying system is a heat pump using R134a with a 0.61 kg refrigerant charge. The refrigerant global warming potential is stated as 1430 kg CO2e, with an appliance global warming potential of 872 kg CO2e, so environmental reporting for the vessel can reference declared values rather than assumptions. Specific energy consumption is 0.2 kWh/kg on the Cottons/Normal programme at 48 % residual moisture and 0.17 kWh/kg on the mixed fibre fabrics programme at 40 % residual moisture, with a maximum evaporation capacity of 2.6 litres per hour. The mixed fibre fabrics Normal programme at 40 % residual moisture runs to 76 minutes, which is the second key scheduling figure alongside the main cottons cycle.

Externally the machine stands 850 mm high, 605 mm wide and 777 mm deep, with gross shipping dimensions of 940 × 660 × 820 mm and a net weight of 72 kg. The front and fascia are stainless steel, with powder‑coated lotus white side panels. The door opening is 370 mm in diameter on a left hinge with a 167° opening angle, which helps in narrow laundry aisles when accessing the full 8 kg load. Emission sound pressure level at the workplace is quoted at ≤70 dB(A) re 20 µPa, relevant where the laundry backs onto accommodation or office spaces. A stated recycling rate of 95 % supports internal sustainability metrics when the unit is decommissioned.

This configuration is the right choice where electrical power is scarce, 230V~ 50HZ single‑phase is the available supply and the laundry handles repeated 8 kg batches in a compact space. It is the wrong choice for a vessel laundry that must clear significantly larger loads per cycle or operate on much shorter programme durations, where a larger‑capacity dryer line with a higher connected load is the more realistic option.
