The main common duct may be any shape so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. The main duct should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is added as per the illustrations on page 20 and page 21.

The maximum length of venting from the last dryer to where it exhausts is the following:

VERTICAL - venting run must not exceed 8 feet (2.44 meters). This calculation compensates for the maximum use of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating 180º (turned downward) outside outlet.

HORIZONTAL - venting run must not exceed 15 feet (4.6 meters). This calculation compensates for the maximum use of only one (1) elbow which is the outside outlet protection.

IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers (eight [8] baskets [tumblers]) maximum should be connected to one (1) main common duct. Refer to the applicable section of this manual for specific common venting size.

NOTE: The distance between the dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a minimum of 31-1/2” (80.01 cm) dryer’s width.

The ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at the rear area of the dryer for removal of rear service panels/guards.

The illustrations on page 20 and page 21 show the minimum cross-sectional area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts, has numerous elbows, or is unusually long.

IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-sectional area of the duct can only be increased to an extent. For extended ductwork runs or where numerous elbows are used, a professional heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

NOTE: Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning.

a.Multiple Dryer Venting - where each basket (tumbler) is individually vented.

With multiple venting where each basket (tumbler) is vented independently (a separate exhaust is used for each basket [tumbler]) to the common main duct, a minimum of an 8-inch (20.32 cm) diameter duct (50 square inches [322.58 square centimeters] cross-sectional area) connection between the dryer and common main duct is acceptable providing this duct does not exceed 8 feet (2.44 meters) in length.

IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers (eight [8] baskets [tumblers]) can be connected to one

(1) common duct vent.

The ADG-530D II is a dual-pocket dryer that combines efficiency with superior drying performance. One of its main features is its powerful and energy-efficient heating system, which utilizes advanced airflow technology to reduce drying times while minimizing energy consumption. This model is equipped with a state-of-the-art microprocessor control system that allows for precise temperature and time settings, enhancing flexibility for various fabric types. Additionally, the ADG-530D II includes a large capacity that can accommodate various load sizes, making it an ideal choice for heavy daily usage.

On the other hand, the WDA-530D II model serves a slightly different purpose with a focus on wet cleaning. This innovative machine offers exceptional water extraction capabilities, ensuring that fabrics retain as little moisture as possible, which also contributes to quicker drying times. The WDA-530D II utilizes advanced technology to balance water levels and optimize washing cycles, thereby extending the life of the fabrics and improving overall cleanliness. Its easy-to-use interface simplifies operation, making it suitable for staff with varying levels of experience.

Both models incorporate durable construction materials designed to withstand heavy use in busy environments. Their design prioritizes ease of maintenance, featuring removable lint screens and efficient drainage systems that streamline cleaning and upkeep. User safety is also a priority, with built-in safety features to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.

In summary, the ADG-530D II and WDA-530D II by American Dryer Corp represent a blend of cutting-edge technology, user-friendly features, and robust design. Whether for drying or wet cleaning, these machines are engineered to enhance productivity in commercial laundry operations while delivering exceptional performance. Their commitment to energy efficiency and fabric care makes them an excellent investment for any laundry facility looking to enhance their operational efficiency and service quality.
