American Dryer Corp ML-145 Lint Drawer Switch, Steam Damper System, Compressed AIR Requirements

P. LINT DRAWER SWITCH

The lint drawer switch is located in the lint compartment and attached to the side of the lint drawer track. The lint drawer switch insures that the dryer will operate only when the lint drawer is completely closed. This is a safety device and should never be disabled.

Q. STEAM DAMPER SYSTEM

The newest type system is called the steam damper. It is shown to the right and it uses a piston with compressed air to open and close the steam damper which in turn allows the air to flow either through the coil for heat, or under the coil for cool down. Air supply is 80 PSI +/- 10 PSI (5.51 bars +/- 0.69 bars).

R. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

The model ML-170 requires an external supply of air (2.5 cfm @ 80 PSI [0.07 cmm @ 5.51 bars]) on the steam models the air is necessary to operate the damper system. On both steam, as well as the gas model, the air is necessary/required for the blower air jet operation...to clean lint from the impellor/fan (squirrel cage type).

S. TEMPERATURE SENSOR BRACKET (NON-COMPUTER)

The non-computer temperature sensor bracket consists of four

(4) thermostats. Three (3) of them are the certain temperatures that the machine should cycle on and off at. The fourth one is the 225º F (107º C), safety tumbler (basket) hi-limit that should only react when it sensors an over heat condition exceeding 225º F (107º C).
