Description of Air-Flow Optimizer Operation
Your new Energenics Air-Flow Optimizer represents the most advanced feature
available in the laundry industry to date. The following is a description of its
capabilities:
The system consists of 3 components:
1. A pressure standoff which is to be mounted at the single point that will be
an accurate depiction of the total affect of the dryers or other devices that
result in exhaust air to be ducted outside of the laundry. A single large
exhaust manifold containing all of the dryers would be a good example.
2. The Airflow Optimizer consists of 2 components. The Pressure
Transducer and the VFD (Inverter).The Pressure Transducer should be
mounted on the same structure as the variable frequency drive. There is a
hose that should be connected at the pressure standoff and terminated at
the pressure control.
3. The Variable Frequency Drive should be located in an area where it will
be readily visible to plant personnel. The drive will have a display the
percentage of Maximum Hertz (default hertz is 60) at which the fan is
being instructed to operate.
As back pressure changes due to various pieces of equipment being on or off the
Air-Flow Optimizer will change the speed of the motor to consistently maintain a
system back pressure of .2-.4” W.C.
