Unit description
The units have been designed for
universal and straightforward air
dehumidification.
Their compact dimensions allow
the unit to be transported and set
up with ease.
The units operate in accordance
with the condensation principle
and are equipped with a
hermetically sealed refrigerant
system, low-noise and low-
maintenance fan, operating hours
counter and connection cable with
plug.
Fully-automatic operation, a
condensate container with
integrated overflow protection in
addition to connection ports for
direct condensate drainage help
to ensure continuous fault-free
operation.
The units conform to the
fundamental health and safety
requirements of the appropriate
EU regulations.
The units are dependable and offer
ease of operation.
Locations at which units are
used
The units are used in all locations,
where dry air is a must and where
economic consequential damage
(such as that caused by mould)
must be prevented.
The units may be used for
the drying and dehumidification
of areas such as:
■
New buildings, industrial
buildings
■
Cellar rooms, storage rooms
■
Archives laboratories
■
Weekend homes, caravans
■
Bathrooms, wash rooms and
changing rooms etc.
at the probe has increased above
a pre-set level, the unit switches
back to normal dehumidification
mode.
If the room temperature is
sufficiently high, the surface of
the fins will not be cold enough for
rime formation to occur, rendering
defrosting unnecessary.
Therefore, the air dehumidifiers
work economically.
The cooled and dehumidified air
is re-heated by the
condenser
(heat exchanger), and blown back
into the room through the outlet
grille. The processed, dry, heated
air then re-mixes with the room air.
Continuous circulation of the room
air through the unit gradually
reduces the relative humidity
(% RH) in the room to the desired
humidity level.
Depending on the room
temperature and the humidity,
only 30 - 40% electrical energy
is required, in accordance with
the output of the unit.
Operating sequence
The unit is switched on by pressing
the operating switch. It then
operates in continuous fully-
automatic operation.
The fan extracts the moist room air
through the dust filter, evaporator
and the condenser behind.
Heat is removed from the room air
on the cold
evaporator
. The air is
then cooled to below dew point.
The water vapour contained in
the room air is then deposited
as condensate or rime on
the evaporator fins.
If the temperature sensor here
measures a pre-set minimum,
it activates a time relay.
If the evaporator temperature
stops increasing during this period,
the cooling cycle switches to hot
gas defrosting after the timer
cycle.
The fan remains out of operation
during the defrosting phase.
As soon as the rime (ice) has been
defrosted and the temperature
