Energenics 150 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.
