DESCRIPTION OF LINT FILTER OPERATION

Your new Energenics Lint Filter 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. On the main control the Normal Light will be lit when the system
senses airflow from the dryers. As the screen fills with lint the set light will illuminate when the
backpressure reaches a set reference (default is .5” w.c.). 30 seconds after the set light
illuminating the 6 second blowdown occurs. The setting can be adjusted by the operator by
adjusting the pressure input box located on top of the Lint Filter. The adjustment is done by
turning a screw at the bottom of the box. 70% of the lint will be removed from the screen even
though the dryer(s) may be operating. When the dryer(s) are all off the pressure input box will
sense no airflow and will initiate a blowdown signal which will remove 100% of the Lint on the
screen. A manual blowdown can also be done by depressing the button on the side of the Lint
Filter control. Note that a 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 and Installation

Before you sign the Bill of Lading:

1. Receiving- Inspect 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,
lint bag is in a cardboard box. Make sure both are complete. Per Exhibit A.

2. Installation- Follow instructions attached:

Determine the location with reference to minimum duct work from the tumbler 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.

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 “China type” cap on the discharge. The Pressure transducer should be mounted on top of the
filter to prevent condensation running down the tubes into the pressure switch located in the
pressure input box. Also, mount the supplied air pressure gauge at the blowdown pipe on top of
the filter.

All solenoids should be mounted as practically 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.

Energenics supplies a reel of wire connected on one end to the Filter Control. In most cases the
reel is long enough for most indoor installations. In rare situations the wire is not long enough and
must be extended. This is not difficult, but make sure the wire extensions are properly marked for
correct termination.

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

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.

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 side of the Filter control box and 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
for 5 seconds and turns off automatically.

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 9002 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 9002 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.
