Phase 6 "On-Premise Laundry" Microprocessor Drying System

The American Dryer Corporation's Phase 6 On-Premise Laundry (OPL) Drying System has been designed
with super performance in mind to provide for better temperature regulation, efficiency, performance, consistency,
and faster drying times.
Specifically, ADC's Phase 6 OPL System's higher performance emanates from the following enhancements:
1. The ability to better control the temperature inside the basket (tumbler) throughout the various cycles.
2. The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) responds immediately to any temperature variations
from temperature selection, which enables the control temperature band to be ± 3º from this selected
drying temperature. The narrower temperature control band greatly increases system efficiency, since it
takes less heat to maintain a given temperature than to rise to a given temperature.
Among its many amenities, ADC's Phase 6 OPL Drying System has a true Automatic Drying Cycle. The Phase
6 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) principle is based on one of the most fundamental laws
of thermodynamics which governs the flow of heat in thermal systems.
Utilizing this microprocessor technology, the user simply has to place the load in the dryer and push one single
button to start drying cycle. The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will directly monitor the
moisture content in the load and stop the drying cycle automatically when the selected percentage of extraction
(dryness level) is reached.
The ADC Phase 6 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) virtually eliminates ALL guess
work. The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying time is needed and
compensates for various types of fabrics and load sizes, thus, avoiding damage to fabrics by over drying, as well
as avoiding wasted time and energy for any given load. Once the Phase 6 microprocessor controller (computer)
determines the load is dry, the microprocessor controller (computer) will go into cool down cycle (Patent No.
4,827,627) until the preprogrammed time or temperature is reached, and then shuts the dryer off automatically.
