Thermostat User Manual

Initial Operation (For Carousel Plus

Dryer HTC)

1 Hopper material: Fill the hopper with the material to be heated.

WARNING: Fire potential - The electric heating elements are exposed to the air

going into the hopper. It is important that there is no debris in this air stream. Under

no circumstances should the HTC be run in a dirty air stream as material passing

through the heater could ignite embers and shoot sparks into the hopper, which could

catch fire.

2 Auto tuning: When the unit is fully assembled and ready for operation, it

should be tuned to the actual system that it is connected to with material in the

hopper. Follow the auto tuning procedure detailed on page 4-22 of this manual.

3 Hopper residence time: The material throughput rate must be determined by

the size of the hopper, the drying time required, and the extent of drying desired

for the product (see page 4-20).
