Section 2.0 - Getting Started
Before unpacking/uncrating your new dryer, inspect the carton/crate for damage. Note any damage on the
freight bill. File notice of concealed damage if:
(a) there are any dents in the cabinets
(b) the air and drain pipes are not straight
(c) there is any sign of oil on the skid or floor
(d) the refrigerant gauges show NO pressure
File these claims with the carrier immediately!
Otherwise, proceed with unpacking/uncrating the unit.
Environmental & Location Considerations
Following these guidelines will help insure that your new dryer will provide safe and reliable service.

Unless supplied for special conditions, air cooled dryers must be located in an area with an ambient
temperature between 50…100ºF (10…35ºC) and free from explosive and corrosive fumes. Three
(3) feet (92cm) of space must be allowed between all open grills, walls, or other objects.

Dryers for below freezing (31º, -0.5ºC) ambient temperatures are available with an optional
additional refrigeration condenser bypass valve.
If the dryer is installed in a confined area, an exhaust system must be provided to eliminate
recirculation of hot atmospheric air.

High ambient temperatures affect the outlet dew point of the dryer. For every 10º of ambient
temperature over 100ºF (35ºC) a decrease of 9% of dryer performance is encountered with air cooled
dryers. The unit
must not operate in an ambient of over 115ºF (46ºC). If ambient temperature
conditions are over 100ºF (35º), water cooled dryers are recommended.
