BS EN 17116-2 discusses characteristics of batch drying tumblers.
BS EN 17116-2 defines the characteristics of batch drying tumblers and gives the usual test methods for these characteristics regarding machine capacity, power consumption, and productivity.
BS EN 17116-2 describes standard methods for measuring principal performance characteristics of professional tumble dryers.
BS EN 17116-2 is applicable for use as a reference in the drafting of purchasing orders for batch drying tumblers whose net usable cage volume is 1 000 dm3 (litres) resp. 40 kg and above.
Note: BS EN 17116-2 does not cover safety requirements (see ISO 10472‑4).
BS EN 17116-2 on the characteristics of batch drying tumblers is useful for:
Tumble dryer laundry machine in which textiles are dried by tumbling in a rotating drum, through which air is passed, and in which the dryer draws in fresh or partly recirculated air which is passed over the textiles and the resulting moist exhaust air is vented outside.
BS EN 17116-2 provides methods for the measurement of following performance parameters:
BS EN 17116-2 helps you to manufacture low energy consumption batch drying tumblers and reduce energy demand, consumption, and operating costs.
