Q. LINT DRAWER SWITCH
The lint drawer switch is located in the lint compartment and attached
to the side of the lint drawer track. The lint drawer switch insures that
the dryer will operate only when the lint drawer is completely closed.
This is a safety device and should never be disabled.
R. STEAM DAMPER SYSTEM
The newest type system is called the steam damper. It is
shown to the right and it uses a piston with compressed air to
open and close the steam damper, which in turn allows the air
to flow either through the coil for heat, or under the coil for
cool down. Air supply is 80 PSI +/- 10 PSI (5.51 bars +/- 0.68
bars).
S. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
The dryer requires an external supply of air (2.5 cfm @ 80
PSI [0.07 cmm @ 0.68 bars]) on the steam models, the air is
necessary to operate the damper system. On both steam, as
well as the gas model, the air is necessary/required for the
blower air jet operation...to clean lint from the impellor/fan
(squirrel cage type).
T. TEMPERATURE SENSOR BRACKET (NONCOMPUTER)
The noncomputer temperature sensor bracket consists of four
(4) thermostats. Three (3) of them are the certain temperatures
that the dryer should cycle on and off at. The fourth one (1) is
the 225º F (107º C), safety basket (tumbler) hi-limit that should
only react when it sensors an over heat condition exceeding
225º F (107 º C).
