  • Page 23: Liquid Propane (Lp)

    3. Installation Liquid Propane (LP) Top Dry dryers have internal vaporizers and are designed to operate on liquid draw from the supply tank. Avoid using propane supply tanks that have been used for vapor draw for long periods of time. When using liquid draw systems, any moisture that may be present in tanks or lines may freeze when the system is used in cold weather.
