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.
