AeroSmart Difference
What makes this dryer so different?
Top Loading Dryer
The SmartLoad system is the first top-loading large capacity dryer.
The obvious benefit of this is that it’s ergonomically superior. The difference with our
AeroSmart drying system is that you don’t need to squat down and reach into the back
like you do with a conventional dryer.
We wanted people to be able to transfer their clothes from the top of the washer into
the top of dryer…. It’s as simple as that.
One of the technical challenges we had in designing a top loading dryer was having to
automatically open and close the drum door. As the consumer never sees the drum door,
we had to automate the drum opening.
Three Phase Induction Motor
In all dryers the fan is attached to the motor, which determines the maximum amount of
airflow that can be produced. All US dryers are single-phase induction motors that run at
a fixed speed of ~1700rpm. The AeroSmart dryer is the only dryer to be designed with a
variable speed three-phase induction motor that can run at ~2300rpm.
The benefits of this include:
• Being able to produce greater airflow and pressure than any of our competitors,
allowing us to get more air flowing through the clothes. The result is we have
lowered the airflow temperature to give better clothes care, while still maintaining a
competitive cycle time.
• We are able to use a finer filter in our lint removal system. It’s a 200 micron mesh
(the holes in competitor lint filter mesh is up to 10 times bigger). The result is that
we can catch more lint at the filter and less is deposited in the ducting. This helps
ensure better quality airflow throughout the life of the product.
