Awhile back a member posted what he thought was a GE dryer which used oil for heating. After some investigation we quickly found out it was not the case, however interest was peaked since none of us had ever heard of a dryer powered by heating oil. That is until now, pipe: CLICK HERE TO GO TO launderess's LINK on eBay | ||

Do mine eyes deceive me? 
*WOW* you GO Launderess, girl. That is some find! I wonder if they finally figured out that the clothes would come out dirtier and smellier than they went in. I don't think it has a heat exchanger to keep the products of combustion out of the clothes-drying air loop. In the ad: *The oil fired burner is rated at 7 GPH, 120,000 btu/hr*. Yes perhaps 7 GPH MAXIMUM, in that one gallon of fuel oil contains 140,000 BTU. At an efficincy of 85% (15% of the heat goes wasted out of the flue pipe)it would have a net heating rate of 120,000 BTU. HOWEVER if it does indeed not have a heat exchanger and is firing right into the the air-stream that dries the clothes it would have a nearly 100% *efficiency* Methinks if they converted itwith/installed a cleaner-burning RIELLO oil-burner head they may have actually USED it............

Laundromat in Amsterdam, Holland
--WAVES to LOUIS-- Way back in the 80's the public laundromat I used in Amsterdam made use of fuel-oil for the dryers INDIRECTLY by prodcuing steam. The steam then went to the dryers that each had a heat-exchanger coil. The front-load gorgeous SS washers also had heat eachangers (steam-fed) to heat/boost the water temp. My first and only oil-heated dryers actually witnessed! | ||

Commercial dryers... All of the larger "commercial" sized dryers I'm aware of use heat exchangers regardless of the fuel used. And it's absolutely required if you're washing with dry cleaning fluids. | ||
