What insulating one PowerDry dryer saves

A gas-fired tumbler dryer loses heat every hour it runs.

The exposed burner and heat-exchanger surfaces run at 84–120 °C bare. Removable Inzonex modules cut that loss by ≈95% and bring the surface to a touch-safe ≤45 °C — strippable in seconds for maintenance. Indicative per-dryer figures below (gas, 7,340 h/yr).

≈95%less heat loss (9.8 → 0.5 kW per dryer)

≤45 °Ctouch-safe surface (from 84–120 °C)

6×faster maintenance vs standard removable insulation

Per exposed surface, one dryer (measured FLIR survey, gas, 7,340 h/yr):

Exposed surface	Bare temp	Heat loss saved	£/yr (per dryer)
Front	84 °C	1.99 kW	£671
Back	120 °C	3.57 kW	£1,204
Top	~115 °C	2.32 kW	£781
Sides	100 °C	1.43 kW	£483
Per dryer (≈7.4 m²)	—	≈9.3 kW	≈£3,140

Indicative — heat loss per ASTM C680 with a ×1.40 surface-roughness factor, 7,000 operating hours/yr, gas. Per-face temperatures from a measured FLIR survey of Kannegiesser tumbler dryers. Actual savings confirmed per site with a free thermal survey. Surface ≤45 °C and up to 92% heat-loss reduction are Inzonex specifications.
