CTK 240 mobile air dehumidifier

The units are shipped in sturdy 
transport packaging. Immediately 
check the unit on delivery and make 
a note of any damage (please take 
photos of the damage) or missing 
parts on the delivery note. Inform 
the forwarding agent and your 
contractual partner. 
Please retain the packaging for 
returns. 
Claims under guarantee made at a 
later date will not be accepted.

packaging 

4.0 Intended use

The units are designed exclusively 
for drying and dehumidification 
purposes on the basis of their 
structural design and equipment.
The units must not be used for any 
other purpose. 

The units are only permitted to 
be operated by people with the 
relevant training and understanding 
of how to handle them.

Any different or additional 
use is a non-intended use. The 
manufacturer/supplier assumes no 
liability for damages arising from 
non-intended use. The user bears the 
sole risk in such cases.
Intended use also includes working 
in accordance with the operating 
and installation instructions and 
complying with the maintenance 
requirements.

It is evident that the corrosion rate 
below 50% relative humidity (RH) is 
low, and below 40% is negligible. 
 
The corrosion rate increases 
significantly above 60% RH. 
This threshold for damage as the 
result of humidity also applies to 
other materials, such as powdery 
substances, packaging, wood and 
electronic units.

Buildings may be dried in a variety 
of ways:

1.   

By heating and air exchange:

   The air in the room is heated in 

order for moisture to be removed 
and then this air is fed outside. 
All of the energy that is involved 
is lost together with the moist air 
that is released.

2.   

By air dehumidification:

   The moist air that is present 

within an enclosed space is 
continuously dehumidified 
according to the condensation 
principle.

The correlations occurring when 
air is dehumidified are based on 
physical laws.  
These are depicted here in graphical 
form in order to provide you with 
a brief overview of the principles of 
air dehumidification.

Using Climia air dehumidifiers

•

   Even if windows and doors 

are well insulated, water and 
moisture are still capable of 
penetrating thick concrete walls.

•

   The water required for setting 

in the production of concrete, 
mortar and plaster etc. may only 
be diffused after 1-2 months.

•

   Even moisture trapped in the 

masonry after high-water or a 
flood is released very slowly.

•

   The same is also true of moisture 

contained in stored materials for 
example.

The moisture (water vapour) 
released from parts of a building 
or materials is absorbed by the 
surrounding air. As a result, the 
moisture content increases, which 
ultimately gives rise to corrosion, 
mould, rot, peeling of paint and 
other unwanted damage.

By way of example, the diagram 
shows the corrosion rate of metal in 
different levels of humidity.
