Energenics Super Series 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.
