M. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

This dryer requires an external supply of air (2.5 cfm @ 80 psi [0.07 cmm @ 5.51 bar]) on the steam models, the air is necessary to operate the steam damper system. On both steam, as well as the gas model, the air is necessary for the blower air jet operation to clean lint from the impellor/fan (squirrel cage type).

N. ELECTRIC OVEN

Electric dryers are equipped with an electric oven located behind the control door. The electric oven assembly consists of the electric oven box, contactor, and heating elements. In an electric oven, the elements heat the passing airflow entering the tumbler. ALL ovens have kW ratings. This is the rating of how much heat the oven can produce. The higher the rating, the more heat.

O. SAIL SWITCH (ELECTRIC AND GAS MODELS)

The sail switch consists of a round damper plate on a lever arm, which acts like an actuator for a microswitch. When the air blower comes on, it draws air through the burner. This creates a negative pressure inside the burner box, and this negative pressure pulls in the round damper, which activates the sail switch. If there is improper airflow, the damper will not pull in, preventing the burner from coming on. Improper airflow can be caused by improperly designed exhaust ducting, where the duct run is too long or has too many sharp bends on it. It can also be caused by a lack of make-up air. Sail switch is located in front of the oven on electric dryers and in the back of the burner on gas models.
