DESCRIPTION OF LINT FILTER OPERATION
Your new Milnor 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 automatically blowdown (clean) when
the dryer blower motor stops at the end of the drying cycle. 30 seconds after the
dryer blower stops the 6 second blowdown occurs. When the dryer is off (thus
no airflow) a blowdown cycle will occur removing the Lint from the screen.
Fire Control
– A normally open sensor located inside of the filter at the top of the
inlet will close at 360 degrees F. The dryer control will open the water solenoid,
An audible/visual signal will occur simultaneously opening the water solenoid
allowing water to flow inside the filter to extinguish any fire. The Alarm will be
active until the temperature has dropped bellow 360 degrees F. After 60
seconds the alarm will automatically reset.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION CONCERNS
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.
All solenoids are mounted on the filter. If the filter is mounted outside the
building all solenoids should be mounted indoors as close to the Lint Filter as
possible. This will insure that the air and water piping will remain pressure
charged for most efficient operation. The fire sensor should remain mounted on
the lint filter as installed by manufacturing.
The 4” x 4” junction box located on top of the Lint Filter will contain 3 sets of
wires. Each solenoid valve will have 3 wires and the fire sensor will have 2
wires. The wires are labeled for termination with their counterpart wires supplied
with the dryers.
Since the Filter uses compressed air it is important that the air receiver tank be
located as close to the filter as possible. The longer the pipe, the more
restrictive. You will need to increase the pipe diameter if the run is over 50 feet
long.
After everything is mounted and utilities activated manually start the dryer and
turn it off. 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 spin.
