NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

Outside Ductwork Protection

To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

3.Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting

If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of the flow and should be spaced at least 55-3/4” (141.61 cm) apart. The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 18-inch (45.72 cm) duct is added.

IMPORTANT: The dryer is not provided with a back draft damper. When exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, a back draft damper must be installed at each dryer duct.

IMPORTANT: No more than three (3) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common duct.

The main duct may be any shape or cross-sectional area, as long as the minimum cross section area is provided. The illustrations on page 16 show the minimum cross section area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures must be increased 10 square inches (64.52 square centimeters) when rectangular main ducting is used, and the ratio of duct width to depth should not be greater than 3-1/2 to

1.These figures must be increased in proportion if the main duct run to the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is unusually long (over 15 feet [4.57 meters]) or has numerous elbows (more than three [3]) in it. In calculating ductwork size, the cross-sectional area of a square or rectangular duct must be increased twenty percent (20%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). The diameter of a round exhaust must be increased ten percent (10%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). Each 90° elbow is equivalent to an additional 40 feet (12.19 meters) and each 45° elbow is equivalent to an additional 20 feet (6.09 meters).

IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent. Maximum proportional ductwork runs cannot exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters) more than the original limitations of 15 feet (4.57 meters) with three (3) elbows. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).

ML-175DR specifications

American Dryer Corp ML-175DR is a high-efficiency, state-of-the-art hand dryer designed to provide a superior drying experience in public restrooms and commercial environments. With its sleek and modern design, the ML-175DR not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of any facility but also offers numerous practical benefits.

One of the standout features of the ML-175DR is its powerful motor, which generates a strong airflow of up to 17,000 RPM. This ensures that hands are dried quickly and effectively, taking only about 10 to 15 seconds to achieve optimal dryness. This efficiency significantly reduces waiting time for users, making it a convenient choice for high-traffic areas.

The ML-175DR incorporates advanced sensor technology that allows for touchless operation. The built-in infrared sensors detect the presence of hands beneath the nozzle, automatically activating the drying process. This feature not only promotes hygiene by minimizing contact with surfaces but also helps conserve energy, as the dryer only operates when needed.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the ML-175DR is its eco-friendly design. It is constructed with energy-efficient components that use significantly less power compared to traditional hand dryers. This not only reduces electricity costs but also supports sustainability efforts by minimizing the carbon footprint associated with restroom facilities.

Moreover, the ML-175DR includes an adjustable airspeed feature, allowing users to customize their drying experience according to different environments. Whether it’s a busy restaurant or a quiet office, the adjustable settings enable optimal performance tailored to the specific needs of each location.

In terms of durability, the ML-175DR is built with heavy-duty materials that ensure longevity, making it a reliable choice for various commercial and public settings. Its robust construction is resistant to wear and tear, which is essential for hand dryers that see frequent use.

In summary, the American Dryer Corp ML-175DR stands out for its powerful yet efficient drying capabilities, touchless operation, eco-friendly design, adjustable airspeed, and durable construction. These features make it an excellent choice for modern facilities looking to enhance hygiene, improve user experience, and promote sustainability.
