Failure to install dryer in the proper ambient conditions will affect the dryer's ability to condense
refrigerant gas. This can cause higher loads on the compressor, loss of dryer efficiency and
performance, overheated condenser fan motors, electrical component failure and dryer failure due to
the following: compressor loss, fan motor failure and electrical component failure. Failures of this type
will affect warranty considerations.
Do not install dryer in an environment of corrosive chemicals, explosive gasses, poisonous gasses;
steam heat, areas of high ambient conditions or extreme dust and dirt.
In case of fire, use an approved fire extinguisher, water is not an acceptable means in cases of fire.
Minimum installation requirements:
• Select a clean dry area, free from dust, and protected from atmospheric disturbances.
• The supporting area must be smooth, horizontal and able to hold the weight of the dryer.
• Minimum ambient temperature +1°C.
• Maximum ambient temperature +50°C.
• Ensure a proper cooling air replacement.
• Allow a sufficient clearance on each side of the dryer for proper ventilation and to facilitate maintenance
operations.
The dryer does not require attachment to the floor surface.
Do not block, even partially, ventilation grid.
Avoid any possible re-circulation of the exhaust cooling air.
Protect the dryer from air drafts or forced cooling air conditions.
Dryers models ACT 3T – 12T can be wall-mounted. See fixing dimensions on dimensional
NOTE:
drawings in the attachment section.
The hanging mounting inevitably causes the obstruction of the ventilation grid positioned on the panel
facing the wall fixing. This obstruction, in any case, does not prejudge the efficiency of the ventilation
inside the dryer which is guaranteed by other grids on the other panels.
