    OPERATION 3-1 INITIAL STARTUP After the dehumidifier has been installed it is ready for initial startup. The following items need to be checked when energizing the dehumidifier for the first time:  Verify fan rotation direction per paragraph 3-2.  Set process outlet temperature per paragraph 3-3.
  • Page 12 Figure 3-2. Process Filter Access Door If the process fan motor rotation is not visible, open the process filter access door shown in Figure 3-2. If the process fan is rotating in the proper direction, the dehumidifier should be sucking air in through the filter.

  • Page 20: 4  Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE 4-1 DESICCANT ROTOR The desiccant rotor supplied with the dehumidifier, Figure 4-1, will last indefinitely under ideal conditions. However, by their very nature desiccants make good filters. The life of the desiccant is directly related to the airborne contaminants passed through it. Airborne contaminants, exposure to acidic gases or air streams, and contact with petroleum based airborne particles can reduce the efficiency of the desiccant rotor.

  • Page 21: Desiccant Rotor Seals

    4-2 DESICCANT ROTOR SEALS The top and bottom desiccant rotor seals, Figure 4-2, separate the process, reactivation, and purge air streams. The seals do not normally require service or replacement. Should damage occur, or if poor performance as the result of an air leak is suspected, the seals should be checked and replaced if necessary. Inspect the desiccant rotor seals at the following intervals: ...

  • Page 23 Install replacement process filter into the dehumidifier. Make sure filter fits over the filter retaining tabs. Improper filter installation can lead to reduced performance and shorter life of the desiccant media. Install and tighten the wing nut. 6. Inspect the filter access door seals. Replace the seals if they are dry, brittle, or cracking. 7.
