100,000 btu/hr (25,200 kcal/hr)

1) Natural Gas

 

Regulation is controlled by the dryer’s gas valve’s internal regulator. Incoming supply pressure must be consistent between a minimum of 6.0 inches (14.92 mb) and a maximum of 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) water column (W.C.) pressure.

2)Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas

Dryers made for use with L.P. gas have the gas valve’s internal pressure regulator blocked open so that the gas pressure must be regulated upstream of the dryer. The pressure measured at each gas valve pressure tap must be a consistent 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column. There is no regulator or regulation provided in an L.P. dryer. The pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank) or an external regulator must be added to each dryer.

D-40 specifications

American Dryer Corp has long been recognized as a leader in the manufacturing of high-efficiency commercial dryers, and the D-40 model is a prime example of their commitment to delivering quality, performance, and technological advancements. The D-40 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of laundromats, hotels, and other commercial laundry facilities, offering a perfect balance of power and efficiency.

One of the main features of the D-40 is its robust construction. Built with high-quality materials, this dryer ensures durability and longevity even in high-volume operations. The D-40 is equipped with a large capacity tumbler that can accommodate significant loads, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require efficient drying solutions.

The dryer utilizes a state-of-the-art microprocessor control system, allowing users to program multiple drying cycles tailored to specific fabric types or customer preferences. This technology enables precise drying times and temperatures, which helps to prevent damage to garments while maximizing efficiency. The control panel is user-friendly, featuring clear displays and intuitive navigation, ensuring that operators can quickly set up and adjust cycles as needed.

In terms of energy efficiency, the D-40 is engineered with advanced drying technologies that reduce utility costs. Its high-performance gas burners and optimized airflow design allow for rapid heat distribution, which significantly shortens drying times. The dryer also features a reliable heat exchanger system that ensures consistent heat output while minimizing energy consumption.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the D-40 is its sound-dampening design. The dryer is equipped with noise-reduction technology, allowing it to operate quietly, which is particularly beneficial in environments where noise may disrupt customers or staff.

Safety features are also of paramount importance in the D-40’s design. It includes a protective door interlock system that ensures the dryer cannot operate when the door is open, reducing the risk of accidents. Moreover, the D-40 has been designed with easy access for maintenance, making it simpler for technicians to perform routine checks and repairs.

In conclusion, the American Dryer Corp D-40 stands out in the competitive landscape of commercial dryers by combining high-capacity performance with energy efficiency, advanced technology, and a commitment to safety and durability. Its innovative features make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their laundry operations.
