Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 3. Dehumidifier design 3.1. Product description The desiccant dehumidifiers in the ML series have been developed to effectively dehumidify the air in environments requiring low air humidity. The dehumidifier is equipped with an encapsulated rotor unit. The rotor casing is constructed of durable thermoset plastic and contains isolated sections that provide a precise balance for the dehumidification, reactivation and heat recovery airflows.
Upper rotor cover Process air filter NOTE The ML420 unit has only one fan motor that is placed between the process and reacti- vation impellers. 3.4. Insulated process air inlet When cold process air is to be dehumidified, often in conjunction with a pre-cooler, condensate will readily form on the inlet side of the dehumidifier.
• Any damage to the unit must be documented with photos. • Any visible damage must be reported in writing to Munters within 3 days and prior to installation of the unit. • Discard the packaging material according to local regulations.
It is important for maintenance purposes to obey the minimum service space require- ments. The dehumidifier is only intended for indoor installation. For space requirements, see section Dimensions and service space. NOTE If there is a need for reduction of vibrations from the dehumidifier, contact Munters for instructions.
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 5.3. Foundation The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor, or platform, which has been designed with a floor loading capacity capable of supporting the total weight of the unit. If the maximum floor loading weight is not exceeded, special foundations are not required.

Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 • The ducts must always be insulated when there is a risk of freezing. • The wet air leaving the dehumidifier will, because of high moisture content, condense on the inside duct walls. By insulating the ducts, the amount of condensate is reduced.
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 5.4.2. Duct for outdoor air inlet When bringing outside ambient air into the dehumidifier, the opening to the inlet duct should be located sufficiently high above ground level to prevent the pick up of dust and debris. The ducting should be designed to prevent rain and snow from being drawn into the dehumidifier.
5.5. Precautionary measures for units with lithium chloride rotor The standard delivery is Munters high performance desiccant rotor HPS (High Performance Silica gel). If the dehumidifier is delivered with an LI rotor (lithium chloride) it is important that the rotor does not become loaded with moisture when the dehumidifier is off.
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 NOTE If the unit is connected to the power after an RCD (Residual Current Device), also known as an earth fault breaker, this must be of “industrial” type B typically with a sen- sitivity of 100 mA or greater to avoid any unwanted tripping.
Rotating fan blades can cause serious injury. Only operate the unit with the air ducts connected. CAUTION The airflows must never be set above the rated airflows without consulting Munters for verification. CAUTION Incorrect adjustment of the airflows can cause malfunction of the unit. Any damage to the unit resulting from incorrect adjustment of the airflows can invalidate the warranty of the unit.
To obtain optimal performance, the process and reactivation airflows must be correctly adjusted. Contact Munters for help with installation and settings. 1. Adjust the dampers installed in the dry air outlet and reactivation air inlet ducts to the correct rated airflows.
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 7. Operation 7.1. Main power switch SIEMENS Main power switch • When the main power switch is set to position O, the unit is not powered beyond the switch. • When the main power switch is set to position 1, the unit is powered and can be started.
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 7.3.1. Start/stop from control system panel Press the start/stop button in the upper right corner to operate the unit. • From Off, press once to go to Automatic mode, with sensor control. • From Off or Automatic, press and hold for more than 3 seconds to go to Manual mode, 100% capaci- ty dehumidification.
More information can be obtained from the local Munters representative. 8.3. Extended warranty Munters offers an extended warranty to the standard terms when the Customer signs a service agree- ment with Munters. Details are available on request. 8.4. Service alternatives In addition to commissioning (S) of the unit there are four service alternatives (A - D) as standard.
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400 NOTE It is recommended to contact Munters for service or repair. Operating faults can occur if the unit is maintained insufficiently or incorrectly. 8.5.

Use only a pH-neutral soapy water solution and a soft sponge for cleaning of the unit casing. When cleaning the inside, avoid contact with the rotor and wipe the surfaces dry. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush head for the rotor. Contact Munters for instructions if vacuum clean- ing is not sufficient.
