SECTION III
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation
should be
performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the
absence of these codes, the installation
must conform
to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1-
LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical
Code) or in Canada, the installation
must conform
to applicable Canadian Standards: 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) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION
(for Electrical Connections).
A. ENCLOSURE, AIR SUPPLY, AND EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:
The following information is very brief and general. For detailed description, refer to the
Installation Manual supplied with the dryer (
ADC
PN 113044).
Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer
should be
made of noncombustible materials. (Refer to appropriate
installation manual for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.)
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. Ignition problems and
sail switch “fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you could have premature motor failure from
overheating. The air supply
must be
given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer.
IMPORTANT:
Make-up air
must be
provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes.
Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable
damage to the motors and other dryer components.
Exhaust ductwork
should be
designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized ductwork will
create excessive back pressure, which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the
burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. (Refer to
appropriate installation manual for more details.)
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
