3.Electrical Requirements

No independent external power source or supply connection is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the fire suppression system (F.S.S.) is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer controls).

WARNING: ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE PROVIDED TO THE DRYER AT ALL TIMES. If the main electrical power supply to the dryer is disconnected, the F.S.S. is

INOPERATIVE!!

Fire Suppression System (FSS) Theory of Operation

20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the FSS probe located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum recorded temperature is no less than 120° F (48° C) and the control detects a 35° rise in temperature, this will be the trip point and the FSS routine will activate.

While a drying cycle is in process and the heat is on, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhaust temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the control detects an exhaust temperature rise 25° F (-3.8° C) greater than set point, this will be the trip point and the FSS routine will activate.

Once the FSS routine is activated, water will be injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Anytime water is being injected into the basket (tumbler); the basket (tumbler) drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continue for a minimum of 3 minutes. After 3 minutes has elapsed, the control will check if the temperature remained above trip point, if so water will remain on. The control will continue to check if temperature is above trip point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on for a constant 10 minutes, the water will be turned off regardless of the temperature. If the temperature has dropped below trip point, the control will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.

SYSTEM RESET

After the microprocessor determines that the situation is under control and shuts the water being injected into the basket (tumbler) off, the microprocessor display will read “FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM ACTIVATED,” and the horn/tone will sound until reset manually.

To reset the microprocessor and F.S.S., press the red key on the keyboard (touch pad).

D-40 specifications

American Dryer Corp has long been recognized as a leader in the manufacturing of high-efficiency commercial dryers, and the D-40 model is a prime example of their commitment to delivering quality, performance, and technological advancements. The D-40 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of laundromats, hotels, and other commercial laundry facilities, offering a perfect balance of power and efficiency.

One of the main features of the D-40 is its robust construction. Built with high-quality materials, this dryer ensures durability and longevity even in high-volume operations. The D-40 is equipped with a large capacity tumbler that can accommodate significant loads, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require efficient drying solutions.

The dryer utilizes a state-of-the-art microprocessor control system, allowing users to program multiple drying cycles tailored to specific fabric types or customer preferences. This technology enables precise drying times and temperatures, which helps to prevent damage to garments while maximizing efficiency. The control panel is user-friendly, featuring clear displays and intuitive navigation, ensuring that operators can quickly set up and adjust cycles as needed.

In terms of energy efficiency, the D-40 is engineered with advanced drying technologies that reduce utility costs. Its high-performance gas burners and optimized airflow design allow for rapid heat distribution, which significantly shortens drying times. The dryer also features a reliable heat exchanger system that ensures consistent heat output while minimizing energy consumption.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the D-40 is its sound-dampening design. The dryer is equipped with noise-reduction technology, allowing it to operate quietly, which is particularly beneficial in environments where noise may disrupt customers or staff.

Safety features are also of paramount importance in the D-40’s design. It includes a protective door interlock system that ensures the dryer cannot operate when the door is open, reducing the risk of accidents. Moreover, the D-40 has been designed with easy access for maintenance, making it simpler for technicians to perform routine checks and repairs.

In conclusion, the American Dryer Corp D-40 stands out in the competitive landscape of commercial dryers by combining high-capacity performance with energy efficiency, advanced technology, and a commitment to safety and durability. Its innovative features make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their laundry operations.
