6.6.8 DRUM VENTILATION AND OZONE FILTER

[D]
Cooling prevents uneven buildup of negative ions which can lead to uneven charge
on the drum surface.
The drum cooling fan [A] draws cool air into the machine and sends it over the
charge corona unit [B] and down through the vents in the ends of the drum [C].
The PCU cooling fan [D] cools the drum and charge corona unit from the other end.
The dust filter [E] above the charge corona unit absorbs ozone in the air coming
from around the drum.
The exhaust fan [F] vents the hot filtered air from inside the machine.
