Energenics 120 Low Profile Lint Filter (Old) - Manual (Page 4)

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 “China type” cap on the discharge. The Pressure transducer should be mounted
on top of the filter to prevent condensation running down the tubes into the pressure switch
located in the pressure input box. Also, mount the supplied air pressure gauge at the
blowdown pipe on top of the filter.
All solenoids should be mounted as practically 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.
Energenics supplies a reel of wire connected on one end to the Filter Control. In most cases
the reel is long enough for most indoor installations. In rare situations the wire is not long
enough and must be extended. This is not difficult, but make sure the wire extensions are
properly marked for correct termination.
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.
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.
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 side of the Filter control box and 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 for 5 seconds and turns off automatically.
