To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, these make-up air openings
must be
increased by approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings
should not be
located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are
acceptable. However, they
must be
set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to
ALL
the dryers.
EXAMPLE:
For a bank of four (4) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 2 feet by 1-1/2 feet (0.61
meters by 0.46 meters) are acceptable. (Calculation based on 1 inch

[6.4516 cm

] per 1,000 Btu
[251.9958 kcal].)
Allowances
must be
made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
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.
NOTE:
Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
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-limits. The dryer
must be
installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
CAUTION:
This dryer produces combustible lint and
must be
exhausted to the outdoors.
