Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials.
  • Page 18 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 19 E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS 1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized duct work 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-limit thermostats.
  • Page 20 IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.). IMPORTANT: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (ALL the way around).
  • Page 21 a. Ducting (Horizontal and Vertical) 1) For single dryer horizontal ducting the minimum duct size is 16-inches (40.64 cm) in diameter, the duct run should not have more than one (1) elbow (including outside protection), and must not exceed 40 feet (12.19 meters) in total length. With single dryer vertical ducting the minimum duct size is 18-inches (45.72 cm) in diameter, the duct run should not have more than three (3) elbows (including outside protection), and must not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters) in total length.
  • Page 22 (1) elbow. The total duct run from the dryer to the common duct must not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters) in length. IMPORTANT: The CG145-55 is not provided with a back draft damper. When exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, a back draft damper must be installed at each dryer duct.
  • Page 23 IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent. Maximum proportional ductwork runs cannot exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters) more than the original limitations of 20 feet (6.1 meters) with two (2) elbows.
