(200
CFM)
of
air
per
dryer.
Large-capacity

if
checked
and
cleaned
frequently.
The
room
where
the
dryers
are
located
should
have
make-up
air
equal
to or
greater
than
CFM
of
all
the
dryers
in
the
room.

is
available
from

of
each
dryer
to
keep
exhausted
air
from
returning
into

at
an
angle
pointing
in
the
direction
of
the
airflow.
Vents
entering
