Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air that is circulating through the
appliance.
The resulting reduction of relative humidity helps prevent rust, rot, mould,
mildew and condensation within the room, or other enclosed spaces where
the dehumidifier is used.
A dehumidifier consists of a motor-compressor unit, a refrigerant condenser,
an air circulating fan, a refrigerated surface, a means of collecting and
disposing the condensed moisture and a cabinet to house these components.
The fan draws air through the refrigerated surface and cools it below its dew
point, removing moisture which is collected and led away. The cool air then
passes the hot condenser, where it is reheated. With the addition of other
radiated heat, the air is discharged into the room at a higher temperature but
lower relative humidity than when the air entered the appliance. Continuous
circulation of the room air through the appliance gradually reduces the relative
humidity in the room.
The appliance is a rugged, reliable drying unit designed to operate effectively
over a broad range of temperature and humidity conditions.
An active hot gas defrost system guarantees positive de-icing, thereby
optimizing operation at low temperatures. Should the ambient temperature fall
below 15°C then ice will form on the evaporator coil as the air is passed over
it, and in turn the efficiency of the unit will drop. To prevent the buildup of this
ice on the evaporator coil an electronic timer is incorporated to energize the
hot-gas defrost valve. Operating the hot-gas valve causes the evaporator coil
to defrost and the water to drain down to the condensate well and then is
pumped out of the unit.
The appliance has been designed to work in ambient temperatures between
3°C and +35°C. Should the temperature in the room become excessive a
thermostat within the compressor casing will open and dehumidifying will stop,
until the thermostat resets itself.
Carefully remove the appliance from its transit box and visually check for
signs of transit damage. If there is evidence of damage DO NOT attempt to
operate the appliance, call your supplier for advice. Do not discard the
packing; it will be useful when transporting the dehumidifier unit in the future.
