The integrated fan (7) circulates the room air through the drier. When the moist air passes through 

the evaporator (2) it is cooled down to dew point and condensation water is deposited. The water 

runs down into the collection receptacle via a condensation filter (4). The condensation water is 

evacuated from there automatically by the integrated water pump (8), which can manage a height of 

up to five meters. The pump runs continuously and if it does not manage to drain the water because 

of a pinched hose or other fault, the overflow sensor (5) activates, which stops the machine. 

The dry and cold air then goes through the condenser (3) where it is heated, partly by the compressor 

heater (6) and partly by the energy recovered during the previous transformation of water vapour to 

water. The dry and hot air is then blown into the premises again.  

 

For optimal operation, machine defrosting is demand controlled and is only activated when the 

temperature and humidity conditions are such that frost forms on the cooling coil.
