REMKO SLE 40 - Manual (Page 7)

Unit description
The units are designed for univer-
sal and problem-free dehumidifica-
tion.
They can be installed at numerous
locations due to their compact size.
The units operate on the conden-
sation principle with hermetically
sealed refrigeration system with
silent and low maintenance recir-
culation fan(s).
The fully automatic electronic
control, integrated hygrostat and
connections for local condensate
discharge ensure trouble-free, con-
tinuous operation.
The units are reliable and easy to
use and comply with the funda-
mental health and safety require-
ments of the pertinent EU regula-
tions.
The units are used wherever dry
rooms are a necessity and dam-
age (e.g. due to mould) is to be
avoided.
The units are also used for
dehumidification of:
■ Private swimming pools
■ Wellness spas
■ Whirlpool areas
■ Sports studios
■ Store rooms/archives
■ Museums
Operation
All units are switched on and off
by the integrated hygrostat.
The respective unit function is
shown on the front display.
The recirculation fan sucks in the
humid room air via suction open-
open-
ings below the front panel.
This is transported via a filter,
evaporator and 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 condensate or
frost on the evaporator gills.
At the condenser (heat ex-
changer), the cooled and dehu-
midified air is reheated and blown
back into the room via the upper
blow out openings with a slight
rise of temperature of about 5°C
above room temperature.
The conditioned drier air conti-
nuously mixes with the room air.
Due to the constant circulation of
the room air through the unit, the
relative humidity in the room is
gradually reduced to the required
humidity (% relative humidity).
The hygrostat is set at the factory
to 60% relative humidity.
Depending on the room air tem-
perature and relative humidity or
only during the defrost phase the
condensed water constantly drips
into the condensate trap and sub-
sequently via the integrated drain
connection into the condensate
drain to be provided locally.
Safety circuit:
If the temperature at the condens-
at the condens-
er should exceed 55°C (e.g. due
to fan failure or clogged suction
filter), the compressor automatical-
tomatical-
ly stops to avoid being overloaded.
The compressor restarts automati-
s automati-
cally after 45 minutes.
The compressor always starts with
a 30 second delay.
