4. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: FOLLOW ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL
CODES, AS REQUIRED. ONLY QUALIFIED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL
SHOULD INSTALL AND OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
4.1 LOCATION
Locate your NW Series dryer in a low traffic area, this will avoid disturbance of the
hoses connecting your dryer to the hopper. Allow sufficient distance (at least 2 feet)
from the surrounding equipment, so the access doors may be opened to perform routine
maintenance on the dryer and for safe operation.
There must be a grounded power source that will supply the correct voltage per the
dryer nameplate.
Water (tower or chilled at +45 to 85°F) must be supplied to the cooling coil using flexible
hoses.
4.2 CUSTOMER PIPING CONNECTIONS
Care should be taken while connecting the process air piping. If hoses are used, it
should suitable for at least 350°F and silicone hose is recommended. On larger
piping, hard piping with steel tubing should be considered. The piping should not
block the access doors of the dryer. See below for the correct connection size from
the dryer to the hopper.
