113409-8 www.adclaundry.com 11

D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations.
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 3.25 square feet (0.30 square meters) is required for each dryer.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air must be increased by approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to ALL the dryers.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of six (6) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 3.25 feet by 3 feet (0.99 meters by
0.91 meters) are acceptable.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up
air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
12 American Dryer Corp. 113409-8

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS

1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or tumbler hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
The design of the flue system shall be such that any condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or discharged.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A
POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
NOTE: When a dryer is exhausted separately, it is recommended that a back draft damper be installed.
NOTE: When dryers are exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, each dryer must be supplied with a
back draft damper.
The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.
When single dryer venting is used, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet should not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet should not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not critical as long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns be avoided; use 30º and/or 45º bends/angles instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. Excluding tumbler/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather, no more than three (3) elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run. If more than three (3) elbows are used, the cross­sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows used.
ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected.
ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the
ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0
and must not exceed 0.6 inches (1.48 mb) of water column (W.C.).
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.
