Yes, there are many "green" dryers on the market and some are better than others depending on how good the technology is.
It depends on several factors: dry time, watts, and amps. Here's a list of hand dryers from "greenest" descending as per the manufacturer specs and a 120 V model: Mitsubishi Jet Towel (lowest settings): 12 seconds, 450 watts, 9.8 amps American Dryer eXt: 12 seconds, 540 watts, 4.5 amps Mitsubishi Jet Towel (highest settings): 10 seconds, 1060 watts, 9.8 amps American Dryer gXt: 10 seconds, 1500 watts, 12.5 amps Dyson Airblade: 10 seconds, 1400 watts, 12 amps Xlerator: 10 seconds, 1500 watts, 12.5 amps I guess you could also look at how many watts it takes to dry a pair of hands in 10 seconds as well, but it looks like Mitsubishi and American Dryer make the greenest hand dryers.
Is greener to use a hand dryer than compared to paper towels.
First, you should look and see if it is a gas or an electric dryer. A gas dryer will save you more than an electric dryer. Then, you need to see if it is a full size or a compact dryer model.
"Greener than thou" means "greener than you."
Yes, a gas dryer is better than an electric dryer. A gas dryer becomes much hotter so therefore your clothes dry faster. Also natural gas as piped to homes costs less per kilowatt-hour than the equivalent amount of household electrical power. However the initial purchase cost of a gas dryer is much more than an electric dryer and the installation costs cost ofa gas dryer can be much higher too because it needs a piped gas supply as well as electricity.
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.
Yes Diesel is much greener than gasoline engines
Electric dryers are generally more energy-efficient and easier to install than gas dryers. They also tend to be less expensive upfront and require less maintenance. Additionally, electric dryers do not produce combustion byproducts, making them safer for indoor use.
A CHI Turbo Hair dryer is a 1300 watt electric hair dryer. With this it dries hair up to 40% quicker than other hair dryers of it's type. Powerful and popular.
Well, honey, gas dryers are typically more efficient than electric ones because they tend to heat up faster and dry clothes quicker. Plus, they usually cost less to run in the long run. But hey, if you're all about that electric life, just make sure you're using energy-efficient models to save some coin and help the planet.
Iceland is greener than Greenland!
no, unless you can find a gas powered generator to make your electricity, then yes. No!! In the electric dryer there is a heating element ... for a gas dryer there is a heating box where a gas flame has to exist in order to heat sufficiently for the clothes to dry. Configuring an electric dryer to gas is impractical, and simply an unwise thing to even attempt. The conversion process would cost more than just going out and purchaseing a gas dryer.
It is an expression that refers to another place, or situation, being better than the one you are in. (or seemingly better) to break it down: greener grass, means better grass. The other side, is the side you are not on. People want what the can't have or in this case, don't have.
