Question time!
To everybody out there:
Would it be possible to fit the Bosches heater (or any other) in there and conect it via the heater-switch and the timer to 220V with an 2nd external plug and than use a transformer to run everything else at 120V?
What I mean is haveing kind of an 2nd circuit inside only for the heating which conects first to the timer-terminal for the heater, than goes to the heat-switch and than powers the heater going back out. You would than have 2 plugs, one for the transformer and one for the heater.
You would of course have to buy a transformer, than do some metal work to fit the heater and than figure outh how the heat-switch works.
I guess there are 3 possibilities about the heat-switch:
1. That would be the easiest: The switch is conected to a thermo-sensor which shuts the heater down as the selected temp is reached.
2. A simple switch that turns on 1, 2 or (I guess there are 3) 3 parts of the heater. The dryer would run all heater sections for full heat (thus 6kw surge), only 2 for medium heat (gues something about 5kw) and than, finaly, only the smallest for low heat (4kw or something).
3. A combination of both.
For 1 I would run the heater-circut over the temperature-switch (and of course all the other parts that have been conected to the heater-circut in the original set-up) and thus still have all choices of temperatur.
For 2 and 3, I would just no longer inclde the heat-switch into the circut thus only haveing 1 temp but haveing way less trouble.
Just a thought of me. Tell me what you think.
