  • Page 17: Fresh Air Supply Requirements

    D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected.
  • Page 18: Exhaust Requirements

    NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY. E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS 1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats.
  • Page 19 IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.). IMPORTANT: Minimum ductwork diameter for horizontal venting is 10-inches (25.4 cm) and for vertical venting the minimum is 12-inches (30.48 cm).
  • Page 20 IMPORTANT: Minimum duct size for a dryer that is vented vertically is 12-inches (30.48 cm) for a round duct or an equivalent of 120 square inches (774 square centimeters). THE DUCT SIZE MUST NOT BE REDUCED ANYWHERE DOWN STREAM OF THE DRYER. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent.
  • Page 21 3. Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º...
