2.Single Dryer Venting

Where possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct should be laid out in such a way that the duct work travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. It is suggested that the use of 90° turns in ducting be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° angles instead. The shape of the exhaust duct work is not critical so long as the minimum cross section area is provided.

IMPORTANT: Minimum duct size is 18-inches for a round duct or 16" x 16" for a square duct. Duct size must not be reduced anywhere downstream of the dryer.

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each tumbler (basket) exhaust duct area should not exceed 0.3 inches of water column.

It is suggested that the duct work from each dryer not exceed twenty (20) feet with no more than two (2) elbows (excluding dryer connections and outside exhaust outlets). If the duct work exceeds twenty (20) feet or has numerous elbows, the cross-sectional area of duct work must be increased in proportion to the length and number of elbows in it. In calculating duct size, the cross-sectional area of a square or rectangular duct must be increased by twenty percent (20%) for each additional twenty (20) feet. The diameter of a round exhaust duct should be increased ten percent (10%) for each additional fifteen (15) feet. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to an additional forty (40) feet, and each 45° elbow is equivalent to an additional twenty (20) feet.
