Installation of

C-LINE-A CONDENSER

GENERAL

The C-Line-A Condenser removes excessive moisture from the exhaust air and conditions the air for its
return to the dishroom, eliminating the need for watertight ducting. A rotating fan (driven by an electric
motor) blows warm moist air over water-cooled coils. The moisture from the air condenses on the coils and
drains away while the dehumidified cooled air exits through the condenser's louvers to the dishroom. The
heated discharge water from the coils can be plumbed to the prewash tank or to a drain. The air discharge
louvers can be re-positioned to alter the direction of air flowing out of the condenser. A cold water supply
is used for the condenser coolant. The condenser includes a water economizer which controls the flow
of water passing through the coils. A higher flow is provided at full operation. When no dishware is passing
through the dishwasher, the final rinse is not employed, less warm moist air is venting and the water flow
to the condenser is reduced. The required water supply pressure is a minimum of 20 psig, with a minimum
flow rate of 6.0 gallons per minute. If the warm water from the condenser coil is plumbed to the prewash
tank, refer to the dishwasher manual so that the water quality requirements are maintained. The condenser
is not available on all C-Line-A models.

INSTALLATION

Immediately after unpacking the condenser and hood, check for possible shipping damage. If either
is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Prior to installation, test the electrical service to make sure it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate located on the condenser and the dishwasher.

ASSEMBLY

Installing the Condenser Hood (Fig. 1)

Mount the Condenser Hood to the exit end of the dishwasher (Fig. 1). Apply the foam tape, supplied, to
the end of the dishwasher where the condenser hood will be installed so there is a foam tape junction
between the condenser hood and the end of the dishwasher. The foam tape will be across the top and

5

down both sides. Attach the condenser hood to the dishwasher using the thirteen

/16 – 18 x 5/8" long

machine screws and stop nuts supplied (5 screws along the top and 4 screws down each side).
