B&C Technologies IM Series Industrial Ironer - Manual (Page 25)

3.4.3 Gas Requirements
The ironer requires a significant gas service capable of providing the volume and pressure needed
to achieve the BTU rating of the particular machine. Typical gas pressure ranges from 1/2 to 2
PSI with ratings up to 2.5 million BTU. Refer to the previous section for gas connection sizing, gas
pressure requirements and BTU ratings.
3.4.4 Thermal Fluid Requirements
The ironer is shipped with a minimal amount of thermal fluid. Before commissioning, the machine
must be properly filled with thermal fluid. Follow the procedure outlined in the Maintenance
section of this manual for specific procedures for filling and purging the system.
3.4.5 Exhaust Duct Requirements
A short run of pressurized gas flue vent ducting and a short run of exhaust vent ducting is required
and must be procured locally. Adequate ventilation is required and must meet all local codes.
Refer to the previous section for airflows and other pertinent information.
Important: Do not interrupt the flow of make-up air or the exhaust!
Use the shortest possible path with the fewest number of bends to connect to the outlet ductwork.
Measured back pressure should not exceed 0.3 inches of water column pressure for reliable ignition
and best results.
Note: Check for proper exhaust fan rotation direction before placing the equipment into service. If
the rotation is incorrect, remove power from the machine and exchange any two incoming power
leads.
3.4.6 Compressed Air Requirements
A clean and dry source of compressed air must be provided. This supply must meet the minimum
requirements listed in the previous section for pressure and volume. Wet and/or dirty air will
cause rapid deterioration of internal components and void your warranty on these parts. Install
a compressed air dryer to prevent water build up in the airlines. Make sure to use best practice
when installing air lines so that water does not damage internal air components - the machine
should not be the low point in the air path.
3.4.7 Electrical Requirements
Pay attention to the nameplate of the machine - it contains the specific electrical requirements of
the machine. Additional requirements can be found in the previous section.
