K. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
The dryer requires an external supply of compressed air (2.5 cfh at 80 PSI [0.07 cmh at 5.51 bar] for gas models
and 3.25 cfh at 80 PSI [0.09 cmh at 5.51 bar] for steam models). For steam models, compressed air is necessary
for the air operated steam damper. On both the steam models as well as the gas models, compressed air is
necessary/required for blower air jet operation to clean lint from the impellor/fan (squirrel cage).

Air Regulation
a. No air regulation or air filtration is provided with the dryer. External regulation/filtration of 80 PSI (5.51
bar) must be provided. It is suggested that a filter/regulator/gauge (F/R/G) arrangement be added to
the compressed air line just before the dryer connection. This is necessary to insure that correct and
clean air pressure is achieved.
3. Air Connection
a. Air connection to this system is an 1/8” F.P.T. (female pipe thread) as per the illustration below.
