NOTE:
Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.59 mm) minimum allowance
must be
made
for opening and closing of the control door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters)
away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the
back guard). Refer to the
illustration
on the previous page for details.
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The dryer
must be
installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. As a general rule,
an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of 1 square foot (0.09 square meters) is required for
each dryer (based on 1 square inch per 1,000 Btu [251.9958 kcal]). If registers or louvers are installed over the
openings, then the area
must be
increased. It is not necessary to have separate make-up air openings 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 the dryers.
EXAMPLE
: For a bank of four (4) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 12-inches by 18-inches
(30.48 cm by 45.72 cm) are acceptable. (Based on 1 inch
2
[6.4516 cm
2
] per 1,000 Btu [251.9958
kcal].)
A = 12-inches (30.48 cm)
B = 18-inches (45.72 cm)
IMPORTANT:
Make-up air openings
should not be
located in an area directly near where exhaust
vents exit the building.
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 contaminating fumes such as 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.
