DUCTWORK- Reference Appendix A in the O&M Manual for specific ductwork requirements.

Ductwork sizing is critical. A qualified mechanical contractor or engineer should size the ductwork. Failure to follow good duct design practices will

result in improper and poorly functioning equipment.

The duct connections on the equipment do not indicate final duct sizes. The ducts must be sized to provide adequate air flow to and from the dryer.

Air volume in an industrial dryer is much higher than a conventional HVAC system. Industrial dryers may move as much as 14,000CFM of

turbulent air. Check the technical specifications for the correct dryer airflow and static pressure requirements.

Careful consideration must be given to the ductwork design. Airflow through the dryer is not smooth or uniform. The tumbling process inside the

dryer will cause the air flow to surge. There will be periods of full air volume flow followed by sudden nearly full blocked air flow. The interval

between periods of full and zero flow is just a few seconds. The volume of the air the dryer is moving is significant. Suddenly stopping an air

volume this size causes the air to compress and will put significant pressure on the ductwork. The same is true when the air is released. The

compressed air behind the blockage and the power in the main blower suddenly release an excess air amount into the ductwork. The closest

analogy to this is when you kink a garden hose, you can feel the hose expand behind the kink, and the water coming out of the hose stops. When

the kink is released, the sudden surge from the hose is greater than the original flow because the hose has to return to its original size. In this

analogy, the kink is the goods tumbling in the dryer and the hose is the ductwork going to and from the dryer. The duct design must resist and

withstand the pressure the turbulent air puts on it.

In addition to ductwork, restricted ducting puts stress on the lint collection system. The restriction can make the air flow even more turbulent. The

internal lint collection system is a single pass system. That means the exhaust air only passes through the lint collection screen once, before

exiting the dryer to atmosphere. The screen collects approximately 85% of the lint in the exhaust air stream. As more lint accumulates on the lint

collection screen, the amount of lint bypassing the screen gradually decreases. At the end of the dry cycle, the lint screen is collecting almost all of

the lint expelled by the tumbling goods. Turbulent airflow causes the collected lint to be constantly being lifted from the screen and re-deposited,

effectively beating it against the collection screen. The more turbulent the air flow the greater the frequency and intensity of the beating. The

beating action will release even more lint into the exhaust air stream exiting the dryer and expelled to atmosphere.

5.

Do not exceed a total duct system static pressure of .5 in. w.c.. This is the combined static pressure of the exhaust and inlet duct. (TOTAL

INLET DUCT SP”w.c.)+(TOTAL EXHAUST DUCT SP”w.c.)= TOTAL SYSTEM SP. Duct static pressure in excess of the rated amount will cause

operational issues, including but not limited to, ignition failures, frequent inlet and/or exhaust over temperature alarms, unsatisfactory or increased

dry time, increased utility consumption, possible damage to external ductwork, and significantly reduce equipment life.

In some cases, by preference or necessity, the dryer inlet air will not be ducted. Instead, the air may come directly from inside the building.

Makeup air will have to be ducted into the building to account for the air that is pumped out by the equipment exhaust. Refer to the equipment

specifications to determine the amount of building makeup air required as indicated by the EXHAUST DUCT VOLUME. The total number of

machines drawing from inside air will determine the total makeup air volume required. Do not overlook the significance of providing proper makeup

air. Inadequate makeup air will produce some of the same results as static pressure above the rated amount. It can also result in possible direct or

indirect injury to employees, reduce performance of building heating and cooling systems or make them inoperable, degrade building working

environment, and reverse the venting of dangerous exhaust gases on other gas fired equipment, or process equipment in the building. If the lack of

makeup air is significant enough it could possibly reduce the structural integrity of the building.

Do not install any type of screen over the ends of the exhaust or inlet ducts.

Roof penetration and flashing/curb is by owner. The type and style of roof penetration weather protection for the dryer ducting is best determined

by the roof manufacturer, and/or mechanical contractor.

Minimum duct material shall be galvanized 18ga construction, for top inlet and exhaust models. Duct material IS 16ga for rear exhaust models on

the first 20ft of exhaust duct connection from the blower discharge. The 16ga material gives some protection against impact, either internal or

external. After 20ft, 18ga ducting is okay. If using square duct to transition to an external lint collector, a heavier gauge material may be needed to

include bracing support on the square ductwork. G.A. Braun discourages the use of square ductwork, but if used, it must be adequately supported

to withstand the normal surging tendencies of the industrial dryer. Stainless steel ducting is not required. SMACNA rules for high pressure duct

construction SHALL apply.

noise. The seams will become brittle and break over time if the oil-canning is excessive. These ducts tend to build lint internally, more so than

round duct. If square ducting is used, responsibility for structurally bracing this ductwork to prevent breakage is the sole responsibility of

the contractor installing said ductwork. G.A. Braun will assume no responsibility for square ductwork breakage at any point during its

life span.

Round (spiral) duct is recommended over square or rectangular ducting. Square and rectangular ducts tend to “oil-can” and produce excess

11.

Support ductwork independently of the dryer duct connections. This will help prevent sound transmission from the equipment to the duct work.

Also, the dryer is not designed to bear the weight of the duct work.

12.

Use of a zero or no loss stack above the roof is recommended, unless ducting to a second stage lint collection device located above the roof line.

A no loss stack can be used on both the inlet and exhaust ducts. Maintain at least 5ft. of separation between the ends of the stacks.

13.

A goose neck on the exhaust and a weather cap on the inlet are acceptable. Size the ductwork accordingly to account for the restrictions these will

add to the duct system.

14.

For dryers that are directly exhausted to atmosphere the exhaust duct should be sized so the air velocity does not fall below 2,400 ft./min. This will

help keep any lint collector bypass material from settling out in the ductwork. Exhaust air duct velocity MUST not exceed 3,500 ft./min. Failure to

keep airflow within these specified limits will void any warranty support of said dryer.

15.

For dryers that are connected to an external lint collector the exhaust duct should be sized so the air velocity does not exceed 1,800 ft./min. in the

ductwork leading up to the lint collector. After the lint collector, the exhaust air duct velocity MUST not exceed 3,500 ft./min. Failure to keep

airflow within these specified limits will void any warranty support of said dryer. Pay attention to the internal static pressure of the lint collector.

This is part of the duct design total system static pressure calculation.

16.

The prevailing wind direction in your area can affect the discharge direction of the free exhaust air. Goose neck and mitered elbow exhaust ducts

require special attention. They should not face into the prevailing wind. Be careful not to exhaust one dryer directly toward the inlet of another

dryer, or other equipment fresh air intakes. No loss exhaust stacks are not affected by wind direction.

17.

Exhaust discharge can be harmful or dangerous. Pay attention to the proximity of other equipment to the dryer exhaust discharge (This should

apply to any equipment with high exhaust discharge temperature). This includes but is not limited to roof top air handling equipment, roof vents,

and roof access hatches. Avoid discharging into or near these. A barrier may be required to isolate and protect those items that may be damaged

by, or create a danger to, if the exhaust discharge is allowed to blow towards/into them.

18.

All elbows shall be long radius and designed with a center line bend radius of at least 2x’s.

19.

On models with coaxial ductwork, the exhaust duct is inside the inlet duct. Size the exhaust duct first, and then the inlet duct. Do not forget to

subtract the area of the exhaust duct from the area of the inlet duct. Do not forget to add the static pressure to the inlet duct from the exhaust duct

(Friction from the incoming air on the internal exhaust duct). Failure to do so will cause the inlet duct to be undersized. Undersized ductwork will

result in unsatisfactory operation of the dryer.

20.

The pictures and drawings below give an example of ductwork installations specific to Braun Dryers. This is an example only, and does not

represent your specific installation.
