B. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
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 efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail
switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An
unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the
outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 16 square feet (1.48 square meters) is required for each dryer for
proper combustion.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air area 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. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
