Energenics Air Wash - Manual (Page 4)

C. The Airwasher inlet can accommodate up to 4-30’ diameter ducts (inlet flanges and openi ngs can be
factory installed if requested). Duct each dryer individually to Airwasher inlet to allow water to drain into
the Airwasher. If you’re cutting your own inlet(s) into the Airwasher, place them as high as
possible in the fiberglass inlet to have best filtering possible and properly seal each duct from
the inside of the unit.
D. Provide clean outs in all horizontal ductwork. The booster blower in the Airwasher is designed to
overcome the resistance inside the Airwasher itself and will not necessarily prevent lint fallout in
horizontal ducts.
E. The length and size of the dryer exhaust ductwork should be per dryer manufacture’s
recommendations. Use round duct for minimum pressure drop, minimum lint build-up and maximum
strength. Do not use Turing Vanes in exhaust ductwork because of lint build up and consequent
fire hazard. Use elbows with a radius of not less than 1.5 times the diameter of the duct.
F. Add at least 3 ft. of round exhaust duct to booster fan outlet to act as a guard.
IV PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
A. Set reservoir in a position convenient for easy removal of lint bag.
B. Install Target Spray Manifold Assembly through the holes in the front of the fiberglass body of caulk
around gaps between nozzle tips and fiberglass.
C. Use 1’ PVC pipe to connect pump pressure connection to Target Spray Manifold. Plastic shockproof
flexible connectors have been provided on pump suction and pressure connections to protect the pump
housing form stress or torque shock.
D. Connect ¾’ cold water to the float assembly coupling on the reservoir. Water fill should shut off at a
level of 1’ below the overflow.
E. Connect ¾’ overflow to the 1 ½’ drain after the manual cock drain valve (valve by others).
F. Pump instructions were shipped with the pump.
V. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Consult the fan motor and pump nameplates for voltage and power
requirements.
B. Provide circuit breakers and motor starters in a location convenient for daily on/off operation. Motor
Starters are available from Energenics as an option.
