Product design information 2.1 Product description The MH270 desiccant dehumidifier is designed to efficiently dehumidify air. It is designed for extended periods of operation and has a common fan for both process and reactivation airflows (i.e. a three hole unit).
2.3 Dimensions and service space Scaled and dimensioned AutoCAD drawings are available in Munters’ DryCAD program (can be ordered at your nearest Munters office). Figure 2.2 Dimensions 1. Process/Reactivation Air Inlet 3. Wet Air Outlet 5. Service Access 2. Dry Air Outlet 4.
3.1 General The MH270 is intended for indoor installation. The unit shall be placed in an upright position on a level surface. If the unit is stored prior to installation, place it in a roofed area, on a level surface where it is protected from impact, dust, frost, rain or aggressive contaminants.
Contact Munters immediately if delivery is not complete in order to avoid installation delays. Any visible damage must be reported in writing to Munters within five days and prior to unit installation. If the unit is to be put into storage prior to installation, see section 3.5, Storing the equipment .
3.7 Duct/hose connections 3.7.1 General NOTE! Noice reduction can be achieved by connecting ducts to the dehumidifier. Follow the instructions below when attaching ducts or flexible hoses to the unit's air connections. Duct length should be kept as short as possible to minimise static pressure loss. ■...
Page 10
Connections for rated airflow The wet air restrictor plate (supplied with the dehumidifier) must be fitted over the wet air outlet (as shown in Figure 3.1 ) when: The unit is operating in the freeblowing mode. ■ A dry air duct is connected to the unit (length <15 m) and the wet air outlet is freeblowing. ■...
3.7.2 Installation examples Closed airflow system The closed airflow system is mainly used where the room to be dehumidified contains little or no ventilation, and is partially sealed. A. Room/space to be dehumidified The wet air restrictor plate must be fitted over the wet air outlet when a wet air duct is connected to the unit (length <10 m) and the dry air outlet is freeblowing.
3.8 Electrical connections 3.8.1 General Included with delivery is a 2.5 m long power cable with a plug for connection to an earthed outlet. The voltage and frequency are specified on the unit’s identification plate. 3.8.2 Safety WARNING! The unit must be connected to an earthed electrical outlet. WARNING! The unit must not be connected to other mains than specified on the unit’s identification plate 3.9 Connecting the humidistat...
3.9.2 Humidistat connection kit Follow the instructions below to assemble and connect the humidistat connection kit. 1. Connect the leads to pins 1 and 2, and the screen to the earth pin. Figure 3.5 Connection of leads A. Lead connections B.
3.10 Airflow set-up data Where ducts exceed the maximum lengths specified in the following table, the dry and wet air dampers must be used to balance the proportion of wet air to dry air. The correct balance is essential to maintain the operating efficiency of the unit.
Page 15
NOTE! Adjustments of the wet air damper will have an impact on the dry airflow. Measure once again the value for “A” and “B” respectively and make required adjustments until the wet air is in balance with the required dry airflow.
3.11 Operation WARNING! The mains cable must be extended to it’s full length before switching on the dehumidifier. The unit must not be operated with the mains cable still wrapped around the cable stowage. 3.11.1 Starting up Before starting the dehumidifier for the first time, carry-out the following checks: 1.
NOTE! Depending on the position of the link on the control PCB, the fan may contue to run when the reactivation heater has been switched off. For details see section 3.15, Continuous Fan Operation. 4. Slowly decrease the humidistat set-point and check that the dehumidifiers switches on (heater indicator and fan on) when the set-point value is below the RH in the room where the humidistat is installed.
3.15 Continuous Fan Operation A link on the control PCB (see see figure Figure 3.10 ) can be pre-selected to control the fan as follows: Link Position Description Process and reactivation fans are running all the time that the unit is switched on. This facility is useful for maintaining air circulation during periods of low demand or if a pressurised environment is desired to prevent uncontrolled infiltration of humid air.
Maintenance interval lengths are primarily determined by operating conditions and the environment in which the unit is installed. When in doubt, consult Munters’ product service department. See addresses for Munters representatives on the back cover of this manual.
4.3 Maintenance schedule The following maintenance schedule is recommended by Munters and covers procedures for inspection and maintenance as well as suggested time intervals for a unit that operates under normal operational and environmental conditions. If the process air has a high dust content, preventative scheduled maintenance should be performed at shorter intervals than what is specified below.
Fault tracing 5.1 General This chapter is intended to facilitate basic fault tracing and provide instructions on actions to remedy problems. 5.2 Safety WARNING! Always unplug the dehumidifier before any maintenance or repair work is carried out. In case of a fixed installation where the plug is being replaced by a circuit breaker, the power must be switched off and the circuit breaker locked.
5.3 Fault tracing list Go through the following fault tracing list below before contacting Munters’ product service department. The list provides help in identifying types of faults that are easy to remedy without the assistance of specially trained personnel Fault symptom...
