VALIDATING PROPER SYSTEM OPERATION
For each dryer connected to the duct system, acquire the approved Back Pressure Range from the Dryer manufacturer. Turn on
all other air consuming devices in the spaces where the dryers are located. Follow the Back Pressure measuring method defined
below. Cycle all dryers and all combination of dryers to confirm the dryer manufacturer’s approved back pressure range is main-
tained. If dryer manufacturers maximum allowable back pressure data is not available adjust dryer booster fan speed so that mea-
sured back pressure does not exceed 0.40” w.c. for any connected dryer.
MEASURING AND VERIFYING ACTUAL SYSTEM BACK PRESSURE
Back pressure should be measured with an empty dryer, a clean lint screen and with the dryer operating
in the Air Only
cycle (no heat)
A. Dryer should be empty and running on
Air Only cycle (no heat)
B. 12” minimum section on straight duct - measure back pressure from the center
C. To vent system
D. Verify reading on Pressure Gauge / Manometer is within Dryer Manufacturer’s allowable back pressure range.
MAINTENANCE
Reference Dryer Manufacturer’s recommendations for Dryer exhaust duct cleaning and maintenance. Depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, we recommend cleaning the dryer exhaust vent. On an annual basis make sure that exhaust hood flapper or
back draft damper is clean of lint and moves freely. The CDB8 drive and cooling fan motor are maintenance free. Blow or vacuum
any accumulated dust and lint away from drive and cooling fan motor enclosure.
