Can an American 240V dual phase dryer be converted to work in Korea with 240V single phase power?

you could possibly design a fix for it but it would be a lot of trouble. the American dryer has internal components that run off 110v and that 110v is available from the three wire 220v circuit in the typical usa residence. this is because of the third wire, the neutral. the Korean 220 would be 2 wire. you would have to go inside the dryer, add a 220/110 transformer and rewire the dryer so that the 110v loads come off that transformer. it would then no longer be ul listed and would have to be evaluated by the authority having jurisdiction in Korea and back here in the usa.

Is there an adapter for a gas dryer to electric?
No, a gas dryer uses gas, which cannot be converted into electricity with a simple adapter.
Where does the water go in the dryer?
The water is converted to water vapor and is carried out through the dryer vent by the air that flows through the machine.

Describe a case in which electrical energy is converted into thermal energy?
hair dryer, electrical energy enters the hair dryer and is converted to kinetic energy as a small motor spins a fan blade the electrical energy is converted to thermal by a grind of wires that heat up
Can a dryer outlet be converted to 2 separate circuits?
If you are no longer using the dryer and there are 4-wires, and the dryer was 220 to 240 volts, it can be split into two 110 to 120 Volt circuits.
What is the energy conversion of a dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and kinetic energy.
What kind of energy is used in a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy
Before the introduction of the hair dryer in 1920 what common household appliance was promoted for its hair-drying ability?
The vacuum cleaner--which could be converted into a hair dryer by attaching a hose to the exhaust.
What kind of energy does a dryer use?
Electrical energy enters the hair dryer and is converted into kinrtic energy as a smallelectric motor spins a fan blade. Electrical enrgy is also converted into thermal energy in a grid of wires that heat up. The fan forces air across the hot wires , and hot air blows out of the nozzle of the hair dryer. You can hear the sound energy that comes out. In other words in is converted from Electrical energy -to- Kinetic energy and, Electrical energy -to- Thermal energy and, last but not least, Sound energy!

Can you convert a gas dryer 120V hookup to an electric dryer 240V hookup?
Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.
What is the energy transformation of a clothes dryer?
Electrical energy is converted to heat in the heating element. It is also converted to magnetic energy in the motor, which is converted into mechanical energy (and turns the drum). If it is a gas dryer, chemical energy is turned to heat at the burner.
