L. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
The model ML-145 dryer requires an external supply of compressed air of 2.5 cfm at 80 PSI (0.07 cmm at 552
kPa). For steam models, compressed air is necessary for the air operated steam damper. On both the steam
model as well as the gas model, compressed air is necessary/required for blower air jet operation...to clean lint
from the impellor/fan (squirrel cage).
1. Air Requirements
2. Air Regulation
a. No air regulation or filtration is provided with the dryer. External regulation/filtration of 80 PSI (552 kPa)
must be provided. It is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge 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-inch F.P.T. (female pipe thread) as per the illustration below.
