L. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS (MD-170 Only)
The MD-170 model dryer requires an external supply of compressed air of 2.5 cfm at 80 psi (552 kPa). For
steam models, compressed air is necessary for the air operated steam damper. On both the steam model as well
as the gas model, compressed air is necessary/required for blower air jet operation, to clean lint from the impellor/
fan (squirrel cage).
1. Air Requirements
Shaded areas are stated in metric equivalents
2. Air Regulation
a. No air regulation or filtration is provided with the dryer. External regulation/filtration of 80 psi (552 kPa)
must be provided. It is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge arrangement be added to the compressed
air line just before the dryer connection. This is necessary to ensure that correct and clean air pressure
is achieved.
3. Air Connection
a. Air connection to this system is a 1/8-inch F.P.T. (refer to the illustration below).
