Liquid LP models
: Connect to the provided 1/2" inch liquid LP line with tank pressure. Frost may be
seen before the internal vaporizer. If frost appears after the internal vaporizer, loss in heat will occur.
You must reduce the flow or pressure into the vaporizer to eliminate this frost.
Alternate fuel sources:
(i.e. electric coils, oil burners etc.) Refer to the manufacturer for
specifications and requirements.
D. Assembly of Parts
1.
Top cover and inlet hopper
. In some cases, the top cover and inlet hopper may be removed for
shipping or installation. In these cases, the top cover is made out of several pieces. Each piece is
numbered along with a corresponding number on the sidewall of the machine. Match numbers for
proper position. Bolts or screws are generally provided in the electric control panel. If an electric
control panel is not provided, check boxes stowed in the air chamber.
2.
Shaft-mounted gearboxes with C-face motors
. Current production models have shaft-mounted
gearboxes with C-face motors for the conveyor drives. No assembly is required.
3.
Removed drive plate
. Previous production models may have a removed drive plate that contains
these components. Each drive plate is marked for proper installation. Properly line up the belt
drive and chains for correct operation.
4.
Air intake duct
. Assembly of the air intake duct is required on models with removed fan and
burner. The size and shape of this duct will vary with each machine. The air duct is numbered for
correct assembly. Be sure to securely mount all fans and burners to a solid concrete pad. In most
cases, the customer provides the exhaust air duct.
E. Air Ducts
The purpose of the air duct is to provide space between the burner and the product. With many
combustible products, the air intake could have a 20’ long or longer air duct. It is important to
properly plan the design and installation of all air ducts. These ducts are marked for proper assembly.
Air intake ducts should be designed with few or no turns. A bouncing effect of the air must be
avoided. If a turn is necessary, it should be designed with a large and gradual sweep for best airflow.
The size of the air duct should be no smaller than the fan housing.
The exhaust air duct provides a path to remove water and poisonous gases out of the building.
Connect the duct at the provided exhaust opening. This duct can be screwed or bolted to the opening.
The construction material depends on the composition of the product. With a corrosive product, it may
be necessary to construct this duct out of 304SS.
A powered exhaust is required if the air duct creates backpressure. A powered exhaust will result in a
very clean operation.
If the exhaust air duct creates backpressure, due to an insufficient size or
designed air duct, product and dust will blow out every place possible including the inlet hopper
and out the discharge.
Four factors will determine backpressure: the volume of air, size of the air
duct, length of the air duct, and the number and size of turns in the air duct.
In general, the size of your air duct should not be smaller than the size of the provided exhaust
air opening on the machine
. On powered exhaust systems, the air duct needs to start at the exhaust
opening size and gradually transition down to the cyclones air intake size. This will help improve
cyclone efficiency and air movement. Be sure to match the cyclone CFM with that of the machines or
manufacturers recommended CFM. Insufficient duct size and improper design will result in loss of
warranty and capacity. Many problems can and will result if the air ducts are not designed and sized
properly.
