Energenics 120 Low Profile Lint Filter (Old) - Manual (Page 2)

DESCRIPTION OF LINT FILTER OPERATION
Your new Energenics Lint Filter represents the most advanced features available in the
laundry industry to date. The following list the functions and mode of operation:
Blowdown (cleaning) – The Lint Filter will monitor the system backpressure and
automatically initiate the blowdown cycle. On the main control the Normal Light will be lit
when the system senses airflow from the dryers. As the screen fills with lint the set light will
illuminate when the backpressure reaches a set reference (default is .5” w.c.). 30 seconds
after the set light illuminating the 6 second blowdown occurs. The setting can be adjusted by
the operator by adjusting the pressure input box located on top of the Lint Filter. The
adjustment is done by turning a screw at the bottom of the box. 70% of the lint will be
removed from the screen even though the dryer(s) may be operating. When the dryer(s) are
all off the pressure input box will sense no airflow and will initiate a blowdown signal which
will remove 100% of the Lint on the screen. A manual blowdown can also be done by
depressing the button on the side of the Lint Filter control. Note that a blowdown cannot
occur within 3 minutes of a prior blowdown. This is done to allow the compressed air
supply to fully recover.
Optional Excess Pressure Alarm – If for any reason the Lint Filter has not blown down
properly (i.e.: compressor turned off) the system will sense a higher backpressure than
normal. The excess light on the filter control and the siren and the strobe light both activate.
The Filter control will attempt to blowdown every 3 minutes until the excess backpressure
condition has terminated. If this condition persist a manual inspection of the lint screen and
observation of proper blowdown must be done.
Optional Fire Control System – A normally open sensor located inside of the filter at the top
of the inlet will close at 360 degrees F. The control will open the water solenoid, illuminate
the strobe as well as energize the siren. The Alarm will be active until 30 seconds after the
temperature has dropped bellow 360 degrees F. After 30 seconds the alarm will
automatically reset. Inside the control box is a Fire Control test button. Depress the button
and the Fire Control will be activated for 30 seconds. The function of the test button is to
check the circuit. It does not test the sensor itself. Using a propane torch to the sensor will
test the complete system.
