Wet Clothes

[Chetlaham]

I'll call it moronic until I see dye transfer and fabric shrinkage/damage for myself. Good air flow will keep temps reasonable. No different than putting sopping wet clothes into a Whirlpool dryer.

I know its silly in some ways, but why not try it out?

35 minutes drying time

IIRC that's shorter than a Whirlpool dryer with a top mounted lint filter takes to dry a load that was washed, rinsed and spun in a Whirlpool toploader. Am I missing something?

35 minutes is the dry portion on the timer, this does not take into account pauses the timer makes until the exhaust temps go up.

Miele lists the hourly evaporation rate on commercial dryers.

A 12 pound load of dripping wet clothes will weigh up to 36 pounds.
That is a good 12kg of water, approximatley of course.

With Miele, that would need about 14kW of heating power if to be evaporated in 1h, or about 25kW in a higher airflow design for 30min drying time.

You know how much 25kW is?

That 14 kW means a 60 Amp connection...
