DFRA Series Handling and Control Manual | 4 1. Introduction. The FISAIR DFRA series dehumidifiers have moving operating parts, such as two fan motors (supply and reactivation) and a gear motor driving the desiccant wheel; and variable static operating parts, such as air heaters/coolers, filters and flow control devices.
DFRA Series Handling and Control Manual | 5 2. DFRA operating instructions a) Flow control or motor fan process air pressure control. b) Remote ON/OFF of fan motors. Remote ON/OFF drive gear motor of the desiccant wheel. d) Reactivation battery RB control. Regulating the reactivation battery RB controls the equipment drying capacity (see installation and maintenance manual).
