Compressed Air: For Dry Style automatic “blowdown” filters.

How much? What size filter are you purchasing? 
For filters 6,000 cfm and under require 30 cubic feet of compressed air through a ¾ inch pipe and a valve Energenics supplies. All other dry filters require 40 cubic feet of air supplied through a one inch air line and the Energenics supplied valve.

How much pressure? 
Measured at the filter, 100psi at the start of the 6 second blowdown and not falling below 80 psi during blowdown.

How can I tell if there is enough air after the filter is installed?
Check the air gage we supply with the filter mounted on top by the air valve. Manually blowdown the screen, the air gage should display 100 psi at the start of the blowdown and not drop below 80 psi during the six second operation.

What if I have too little air? 
The screen will not clean, pressure will build up, then the screen will fail prematurely. If you have too little air you need to take action to increase the air.

Do I need an auxiliary air tank?
Maaaaybe! How large is your compressor? What other equipment depends on a continual air supply? How far is the filter from the compressor?

How can I tell ahead of time I’ll need a tank? 
Compressors with 120 gallon tanks and not much else running off the air, (ironers and folders) are normally sufficient. 10%-15% of installations require aa auxiliary tank.

The laundry has no compressor, what do you recommend? 
Except for the filters 15,000 cfm and up, standard 5 hp, 60 gallon tank Grainger or Home Depot compressors are satisfactory. For larger filters the “industrial strength” Grainger Speedaire models 5Z397-5Z400 will work well. There are several models in the book between those model numbers, any one will do.

I just need a tank, where do I get it?
Energenics has an economical source, we can drop ship it from the manufacturer in Indiana.
