  • Page 15: Unpacking/Setting Up

    10. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up. B.
  • Page 16 2. If more headroom is needed when moving the dryer into position, the top console (module) may be removed. a. To Remove Top Console (module)... 1) Disconnect the ground wire (A in the illustration below) located at the rear upper left corner of the dryer.
  • Page 17 3. Exhaust Ductwork NOTE: A transition piece for the exhaust is shipped inside the basket (tumbler). This transition piece is for locations with round exhaust ductwork. a. To install the transition piece, align the four (4) clinch studs into the four (4) clearance holes on the dryer.

  • Page 18: Dryer Enclosure Requirements

    C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned approximately 2 feet (24-inches) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation, maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front.

  • Page 19: Fresh Air Supply Requirements

    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 20: Exhaust Requirements

    E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS 1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork 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-heat thermostats.
  • Page 21 a. Outside Ductwork Protection 1) To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward.
  • Page 22 It is suggested that the ductwork from each dryer not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) with no more than two (2) elbows (excluding dryer connections). If the ductwork exceeds 20 feet (6.09 meters) or has numerous elbows, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the length and number of elbows in it.
  • Page 23 (141.28 cm) apart. The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 18-inch (45.72 cm) duct is added. IMPORTANT: The ID-170 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 24 IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.). The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint.

  • Page 26: Electrical Information

    F. ELECTRICAL INFORMATION 1. Electrical Requirements It is your responsibility to have ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, ALL electrical connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO.
  • Page 27 2. Electrical Service Specifications IDS-170 (Steam) ELECTRIC SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS (PER DRYER) IMPORTANT: 208 VAC and 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering, specify exact voltage. NOTES: A. When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY. Calculate/determine correct fuse value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to lised appliance amp draw data.
  • Page 28 3. Electrical Connections NOTE: A wire diagram is included with each dryer and is affixed to the back side of the top control (access) door. The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, and L3), GROUND, and in the case of 4 wire service, the NEUTRAL.

Piping/Connections ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code Specifications ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (liquid propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional.
  • Page 33 IMPORTANT: The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

  • Page 34: Steam Information

    H. STEAM INFORMATION It is your responsibility to have ALL steam plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the requirements stipulated in this manual can result in component failure which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
  • Page 35 b. The steam supply piping to the dryer must include a 12-inch (30.48 cm) rise along with a drip trap and check valve. This will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil. c. Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam coil connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and return mains.
  • Page 36 4. Steam Damper Air System Connections The IDS-170 is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system which requires an external supply of compressed air. The air connection is made to the steam damper solenoid valve which is located at the rear inner top area of the dryer just in front of the electric service relay box.
  • Page 37 5. Steam Damper Air Piston (Flow Control) Operation Adjustment Although the steam damper operation was tested and adjusted prior to shipping at 80 PSI (5.51 bars), steam damper operation must be checked before the dryer is put into operation. Refer to the illustration above for correct steam damper operation.

  • Page 38: Preparation For Operation/Start-Up

    I. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer: 1. Read ALL "CAUTION," "WARNING," and "DIRECTION" labels attached to the dryer. 2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label affixed to the left side panel area behind the top control (access) door (refer to the illustration in Section VIII of this manual).

  • Page 39: Preoperational Tests

    J. PREOPERA TIONAL TESTS ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used.

  • Page 42: Compressed Air Requirements

    K. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS The model ID-170 dryer requires an external supply of compressed air (2.5 cfh @ 80 PSI [0.07 cmh @ 5.51 bars] for gas models and 3.25 cfh @ 80 PSI [0.09 cmh @ 5.51 bars] for steam models). For steam models, compressed air is necessary for the air operated steam damper.
