DESCRIPTION OF LINT FILTER OPERATION

Your new Energenics Lint Filter operated with a UL approved control represents the most advanced features available in the laundry industry to date. The following list the functions and mode of operation:

Blowdown (cleaning) – The Lint Filter will monitor the system backpressure and automatically initiate the blowdown cycle. As the screen loads with lint the lint, the back pressure will increase and will result in an automatic blowdown (cleaning) when the backpressure reaches a set reference (default is .5” w.c.). The lint filter wills also blowdown every 30 minutes to insure complete screen cleaning when dryers are turned off. The setting can be adjusted by the operator by changing program values in the PLC. 70% of the lint will be removed from the screen even though the dryer(s) may be operating. During the timed blowdown with dryers off, 100% of the lint will be removed from the screen. A manual blowdown can also be done by depressing the button on the bottom of the Lint Filter control. Note that automatic blowdown cannot occur within 3 minutes of a prior blowdown. This is done to allow the compressed air supply to fully recover.

Optional Excess Pressure Alarm – If for any reason the Lint Filter has not blown down properly (i.e.: compressor turned off) the system will sense a higher backpressure than normal. The excess light on the filter control and the siren and the strobe light both activate. The Filter control will attempt to blowdown every 3 minutes until the excess backpressure condition has terminated. If this condition persist a manual inspection of the lint screen and observation of proper blowdown must be done.

Optional Fire Control System – A normally open sensor located inside of the filter at the top of the inlet will close at 360 degrees F. The control will open the water solenoid, illuminate the strobe as well as energize the siren. The Alarm will be active until 30 seconds after the temperature has dropped bellow 360 degrees F. After 30 seconds the alarm will automatically reset. Inside the control box is a Fire Control test button. Depress the button and the Fire Control will be activated for 30 seconds. The function of the test button is to check the circuit. It does not test the sensor itself. Using a propane torch to the sensor will test the complete system.

RECEIVING & INSTALLATION

Before you sign the Bill of Lading:

1. ReceivingInspect units inside and out for signs of damage

Verify all components are delivered per the Bill of Materials.

Report damage to the carrier IMMEDIATELY. Note ALL damage on the Bill of Lading.

This is your responsibility and you must file all claims.

The filter is fully assembled and ready for installation. The control, valves, and lint bag are in the cardboard box.

2.InstallationFollow instructions herein:

Determine the location with reference to minimum duct work from the dryer and ease of access for inspection.

If using a lint drop pipe allow enough room for lint to travel down 4’ before the first bend. Max bend angle is 30 degrees.

If using lint bag or container make sure adequate clearance is allowed. Conduit or Sealtight between filter junction boxes should be ¾ inch.

Dependant on options ordered, not all outputs will have connected components.

If the Fire Control Option is NOT ordered the installer must supply a junction box to connect the wires from the solenoid valve to the Control Box.

When mounting the filter overhead, mount the control below the filter where it can be easily accessed.

Important Installation Considerations

All Energenics Lint Collectors can be mounted indoors or outdoors. If it is mounted outdoors we recommend our Side Discharge or a field installed swept radius elbow (Gooseneck). Do not use a conical cap on the filter exhaust discharge. All solenoid valves should be located inside the building. Also, mount the supplied air pressure gauge at the blowdown pipe on top of the filter.

All solenoids should be mounted as close to the filter as possible, but ALWAYS inside the building. This will allow most of the air and water (if equipped with optional Fire Control) piping to remain pressure charged for most efficient operation.

All wiring should be a minimum of 18 gage for proper operation.

The Filter Control box should be located in a position to be easily seen and in close proximity to personnel. In other words if the Filter Control is located outdoors, 20 feet in the air or in another room away from the laundry personnel, this would be the wrong location. Lint Filter controls should never be mounted outdoors.

Since the Filter uses compressed air it is important that the air receiver (if equipped) be located as close to the filter as possible. The longer the pipe runs the more restrictive. You will need to increase the pipe diameter if the run is very long (e.g.: 60 feet).

If the installation is a multi-dryer/multi-duct installation it may be necessary to use backdraft dampers to prevent lint backflow into the ducts of turned off dryers. Most dryers have them available as standard equipment or can be ordered to add on.

After everything is mounted and utilities turned on press the manual blowdown button located on the bottom of the Filter Control. The rotor on the inside the lint filter should spin. Make sure that the air pressure at the filter starts out at 100 and ends at about 60 at the end of the blowdown cycle. If it is too low the rotor won’t turn.

If the Filter is equipped with Fire Suppression, the test button is on the inside of the Filter Control. It is on the inside to keep people from pushing the button as they walk by. When the button is pushed the strobe and siren will go on along with the water solenoid valve. The system operates until the button is no longer depressed.

Warning and Caution

You have purchased the finest lint filter available for your facility. Please follow these instructions to ensure a safe long life for your filter and facility.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN AN UNSAFE

OPERATING CONDITION, INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY DRYER CONNNECTED TO THIS FILTER WITHOUT BEING CERTAIN THE FILTER STARTUP HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THE FILTER IS IN OPERATING CONDITION.

Insure it is installed in compliance with local codes.

Step 1. Install the compressed air (Fire suppression plumbing if ordered), and piping system(s) including solenoid valves. If the filter is in position, make all final connections.

Step 2. Mount the 007 control in a visible location on a solid vibration free surface and connect all components.

Step 3. Provide dedicated electrical service to the transformer and test all systems.

Step 4. Install sheet metal and ducting.

START UP AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Inspect the filter installation. Is it complete? Review the entire installation requirements prior to startup.

1.Verify the 007 control wiring.

2.Test the blow down cycle (push manual button on control).

Watch the pressure gauge. It should start at 100psi and should not drop below 80psi during the 6-10 second cycle.

The rotor should turn 6-12 times during blow down. The rotor propulsion is adjustable by increasing the number of horizontal holes on the top horizontal portion of the rotor end.

3.Review maintenance requirements and establish a regular PM schedule.

CAUTION - DO NOT OPERATE FILTER WITH BOOSTER FAN WITHOUT BAROMETRIC DAMPER!!!!!!!!
