Miele Tumble Dryer PDR 908 HP [MAR 2 AC 208-240V 60Hz] – 8 kg, 208–240 V, Stainless steel

8 kg rated load at a specific energy consumption of 0.2 kWh/kg defines the PDR 908 HP MAR as a compact but economical marine dryer. With a total connected load of 1.2 kW on a 2~ 208–240 V 60 Hz supply, it fits laundry rooms where spare electrical capacity per machine is tight and has to be documented line by line.

The designation “PDR 908 HP [MAR 2 AC 208-240V 60Hz]” and Lloyd's Register approval place this Little Giants unit directly in the offshore and shipboard segment. It is specified for offshore installations and specified and approved for shipboard use, which helps when plans go to class or flag together with the article number 52908289MAR and material number 11251250. Electrical and structural integration still have to be checked against the 1.2 kW connected load, 15 A fuse rating, 3.6 MJ/h heat dissipation into the room and the maximum floor load of 920 N.

Externally, the dryer stands 850 mm high, 605 mm wide and 777 mm deep, with gross shipping dimensions of 940 × 660 × 820 mm. The 370 mm door opening and 167° door opening angle on a left-hand hinge are the practical constraints when the machine is recessed between bulkheads or paired in a column; service access and loading clearances must be planned off those figures. Net weight is 72 kg, rising to 78 kg gross, and the emission sound pressure level at the workplace is specified at ≤70 dB(A) re 20 µPa, which matters where the laundry is adjacent to cabins or mess areas.

The heat pump system uses R134a coolant with a 0.59 kg charge. Refrigerant global warming potential is given as 1430 kg CO2e, with an appliance global warming potential of 844 kg CO2e and a quoted recycling rate of 95 %. For the vessel designer, the relevant operational figure is the maximum evaporation capacity of 2.6 l/hour and the 3.6 MJ/h heat dissipation, because both feed into condensate handling and HVAC load in a closed laundry space.

Drum volume is 130 l, controlled via a residual moisture system under the M Touch Flex control platform. Programme duration for the Cottons/Normal drying programme at 48 % residual moisture is 88 minutes, and mixed fibre fabrics in the Normal programme at 40 % residual moisture run to 76 minutes. The user interface is fully programmable, so the ship operator can align stored programmes with standard issue workwear and linen while maintaining the stated specific energy consumption of 0.2 kWh/kg for cottons and 0.17 kWh/kg for mixed fibres.

Build and control

• Specified for offshore installations
• Specified and approved for shipboard use
• Remaining cycle time display
• Display language switchable at any time
• Communication slot for network modules
• Illuminated drum
• Prepared for a payment system (self-service laundries)
• Optical service interface for diagnostics
• LAN / WiFi module available

This configuration is a good fit where an 8 kg load, 1.2 kW electrical demand and 3.6 MJ/h room heat gain match a small vessel laundry or a decentralised crew facility. It is the wrong choice where laundry planning assumes significantly shorter cycle times than the 88 minutes quoted for the Cottons/Normal programme, or where single-machine loads routinely exceed the 8 kg rating and a larger drum volume is required.
