MSC4000 - MSC15000 USER MANUAL
1. Transport / Inspection
Before unpacking/uncrating your new dryer, inspect the carton/crate for damage. Please note any damage
on the freight bill, and file notice of concealed damage if:
(a) there are any dents or visibly broken parts
(b) there is any sign of oil on the skid or floor
File these claims with the carrier immediately!
Otherwise, proceed with unpacking/uncrating the unit.
1.1. Environmental & Location Considerations
Following these guidelines will help insure that your new dryer will provide safe and reliable service.
• Unless supplied for special conditions, all dryers must be located indoors in an area with an ambient
temperature between 41 - 100ºF (5-38ºC) and free from explosive and corrosive fumes. Three (3) feet
(92cm) of space must be allowed between all open grills, walls, or other objects.
• If the dryer is installed in a confined area, an exhaust system must be provided to eliminate re-circulation
of hot atmospheric air.
• With air cooled dryers, high ambient temperatures affect the outlet dewpoint of the dryer. The unit must
not operate in an ambient of over 115ºF (46ºC). If ambient temperature conditions are over 100ºF (38ºC),
water cooled dryers are generally recommended.
• Unit must be installed indoors.
• On water-cooled units, install a strainer. Maximum water inlet pressure is 150 PSIG (10.4 BarG). Dryers are
designed for 85ºF (29ºC) inlet water temperature. Higher water temperature reduces dryer capacity
(consult the factory for water temperatures above 85ºF (29ºC).
• Dryer must be installed on a flat concrete pad rated for the total weight of the dryer.
