5. Commencement of operation
Use of lifting devices
The apparatus should be lifted with a fork-lift truck or lifted provided with slings. For lifting points the
tube supports or other sections may not be used.
Putting up of the Apparatus
With putting up of the apparatus the following points should be observed:
The apparatus should not be exposed to weather. Only special types resistable to weather are
appropriate for the open air.
Take care, that the place intended for putting up is flat and can handle the working weight of the
dehumidifier. A foundation is not required.
Before the operation side and the inspection lids, especially near the rotor, at least apply a width of
the apparatus free space for repair and maintenance work.
A) Air dehumidifiers are not meant for putting up to suck up moistures,
f.i.filled tanks or tubs, flooded surfaces etc.
B) Operation is only allowed in and/or with explosion sensitive atmosphere
for apparatuses which are in accordance with guideline 94/9/EG (Atex
95). The operator is obliged to check appropriate deployment of the
dehumidifier, according guideline 1999/92/EG (Atex 137)!
Connection of the apparatus
A) Way of putting up inside the room to be dehumidified :
The apparatus works in environment air, the regeneration
spent air
is to be carried to the outside.
This part is to be compensated by fresh air.
B) Way of putting uo outside the room to be dehumidified :
The apparatus can be connected in regenerated air or fan air operation. Herewith a connection
should be put up for the dried air to the dehumidifying room. Here also applies that with
regenerated air the regenerated part is to be compensated with fresh air.
The apparatus has been constructed in such a way, that the air channels as well as the electrical
connections can be installed simply. Mind the following indications :
The piping system has to be installed on the present static pressing of the fans. To keep loss in
pressure as low as possible, the air hoses should be fitted as straight-lined as possible and as
short as possible.
The pipe for the regeneration used air (damp air) should be fitted with a small fall (min. -1,5%), so
that possible resulting condensation does not flow back into the apparatus or obstructs the air
flow. To prevent situations below dew point definitely, the exhaust pipe should be blocked off
sufficiently. In case a rising air pipe is unavoidable, a lowest point with draining should be made
intentionally (f.i.. siphon).
For the piping appropriate directions should be observed i.e. compensation of potential !
With free-sucking apparatuses the humid air exhaust should be removed with a 90°-bend from
the apparatus resp. to the air suction at least a distance of approx. 1.5m should be applied, to
avoid an air short circuit with the humid exhaust air.
For all connections (air technical, electrical) local indications/regulations should be observed.
