Description of the unit
Operation
The circulation fan can be started
by pressing the Power button. The
installed moisture sensor controls
compressor operation.
The circulation fan draws in the
humid room air via the air inlet
grille with fi lter, evaporator and
following condenser.
At the cold evaporator, heat is
extracted from the room air and
cooled to below the dew-point.
The water vapour contained in the
room air deposits as condensation
or frost on the evaporator fi ns.
At the condenser (heat exchanger),
the cooled and dehumidifi ed air is
reheated and blown back into the
room via the air outlet grille at a
slightly increased temperature of
about 5°C to 10°C above room
temperature.
The conditioned drier air
continuously mixes with the room
air.
Due to the constant circulation of
the room air through the unit, the
relative humidity in the installation
room is gradually reduced to the
required humidity (% RH).
Depending on the room air
temperature and relative humidity,
the condensed water drips
constantly or only during the
defrost phase into the collection
tray and subsequently into the
condensation collector located
below.
A fl oat in the condensation
collector interrupts
dehumidifi cation via a microswitch
when the collector is full.
The units switch off and the
“Collector full” indicator light on
the control panel fl ashes.
This does not extinguish until the
emptied condensation collector is
refi tted.
Dehumidifi cation then restarts as
required, possibly with a delay of
about 3 minutes.
In unsupervised continuous
operation with external
condensation connection,
the produced condensation is
continuously drained via a hose
connection or pumped out by the
installed condensation pump as
required.
The units are designed for
universal and problem-free
dehumidifi cation.
Owing to their compact size, they
are easy to transport and install.
The units operate according
to the condensation principle
and have a hermetically sealed
refrigeration system, hot gas
defrosting, low-noise and low-
maintenance circulating fan as well
as connecting cable with plug.
The fully automatic control,
condensation collector with
integrated overfl ow protection
and drain connection for direct
condensation drainage or
condensation pump connection
ensure trouble-free operation.
The units comply with the
fundamental safety and health
requirements of the pertinent EU
directives.
The units are reliable and easy to
operate.
The units are used wherever it
is important to have dry rooms
and consequential damage (e.g.
through mould formation) is to be
avoided.
The units are also suitable for
drying and dehumidifi cation of:
■ Living areas, bedrooms, shower
or cellar rooms
■ Utility rooms, weekend homes,
caravans
■ Warehouses, archives,
laboratories
■ Bathrooms, washrooms and
changing rooms, etc.
■ Cellar rooms, store rooms
