Optimizing The Air Flow - Electrolux t4130 Service Manual

It is important that the dryer has the correct air volume compared to each dryer's effect .
If the air flow is below the minimum, the dryer will be forced to switch the heating off thus
prolonging the time it will take to dry the load .
An air flow above the needed is unnecessary and can result in a cold laundry room and
noise from the piping and outlet and in extreme cases prolonged drying time .
The condensate dryer does not have ventilation (evacuation) into the open .The air is
circulated in a closed system between the dryer and condensing unit .
