Miele Tumble Dryer PDR 908 HP [MAR 1N AC 230V 60Hz] – 8 kg, 230 V, Stainless steel

0.2 kWh/kg specific energy consumption on the Cottons/Normal programme at 48 % residual moisture sets the PDR 908 HP apart in a shipboard laundry: it dries an 8 kg load with a low electrical input per kilogram. The drum volume of 130 l gives enough space for that 8 kg load to turn properly, rather than being compressed into a smaller cylinder to reach the rating.

On a vessel, installed power, room heat and noise are design parameters. This dryer runs on a 230V~ 60HZ single-phase electrical connection with a total connected load of 1.2 kW and a 10 A fuse rating, which fits where only a light utility supply is available. Heat dissipation into the room is specified at 3.6 MJ/h and the emission sound pressure level at ≤70 dB(A) re 20 µPa; both numbers go straight into HVAC and acoustic calculations for an enclosed laundry or utility space.

The machine is specified for offshore installations, specified and approved for shipboard use, and carries Lloyd's Register approval. That combination simplifies class and yard discussions where documented appliance data is needed for plan approval. The designation "PDR 908 HP [MAR 1N AC 230V 60Hz]" ties this unit explicitly to a single-phase 230V~ 60HZ service, avoiding on-board adaptation around voltage and frequency. With a maximum floor load of 920 N, a net weight of 72 kg and external dimensions of 850 × 605 × 777 mm (H×W×D), the effect on deck loading and space planning is predictable.

As a heat pump dryer, the PDR 908 HP converts that 1.2 kW electrical input into drying performance via a closed refrigerant circuit. Maximum evaporation capacity is 2.6 l per hour, which quantifies the moisture removal capacity during continuous operation. Specific energy consumption is quoted at 0.2 kWh/kg on the Cottons/Normal programme with 48 % residual moisture and 0.17 kWh/kg on the mixed fibre fabrics programme at 40 % residual moisture. Programme duration is 88 minutes for Cottons/Normal at 48 % residual moisture and 76 minutes for mixed fibre fabrics at 40 %, so laundry throughput can be planned in 88- and 76-minute blocks rather than guessed.

The front and fascia are in stainless steel, with powder-coated lotus white side panels, giving hard, cleanable surfaces that suit inspected laundries. A 370 mm door opening and 167° door opening angle ease loading and unloading of bulky items when the machine is installed in a narrow technical space or passage. Gross shipping dimensions of 940 × 660 × 820 mm and a gross weight of 78 kg are the figures to check against stairwells, lifts and hatches during yard installation or retrofit.

On the refrigerant side, the heat-pump circuit uses R134a with a refrigerant quantity of 0.59 kg. The refrigerant global warming potential is 1430 kg CO2e, and the appliance global warming potential is quoted at 844 kg CO2e. A recycling rate of 95 % supports owners tracking material recovery and waste at the end of the product’s life.

This dryer suits offshore units and vessels where a 230V~ 60HZ single-phase supply, a 1.2 kW connected load, the 8 kg load size and the 88-minute cottons cycle align with the operating pattern. It is the wrong choice where the laundry design calls for much shorter programme times than the quoted 88 and 76 minutes, or where the operator does not want to manage an R134a system with an appliance global warming potential of 844 kg CO2e.
