Dryer make up for small public laundry? 1

[carlosgw]

Examples of different methods to makeup air to small public laundry rooms (say around 10 domestic size dryers)?

Northern climate so heating is the biggest concern. Too small for a dedicated system. Building too small to steal air from.

One thing I have done is have a sort of closet that the backs of the dryers are in that acts as a plenum (these are double stacked dryers though).

I have been given a project that has 8 regular dryers sitting in a room.

See the thread in post #2. I have done this a few times with no complaints (latitude 43). One thing I have not done is go there and check it out on a <10F day. I worry mostly about cold air leaking around the dryers into the room.

So can you wall these off, or stack them, or feed outside air to the dryers ?
Or are you going to let the dryers draw from the room?
It sounds like you are going to be stuck with having to provide makeup air to the room.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
