Energenics 150 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.
