UNPACKING
Thank you for deciding to purchase an
Ebac Industrial dehumidifier. Like the
many tens of thousands of people who
have already b
ought an Ebac
dehumidifier we a
re confident you will
find it is the most effective answer to the
problem of
condensation and dampness
related problems
IMPORTANT
Your Industrial dehumidifier is packed in
a plastic wrapping –
please ensure that it
is disposed of safely and where it will not
be a danger to children.
INTRODUCTION
Carefully remove the BD70 dehumi
difier
unit from it’s transit box and visually
check for any signs of transit damage. If
there is evidence of damage DO NOT
attempt to operate the unit, call your
supplier for advice. Retain the
packaging for further use, or dispose of it
considerately.
This user manual tells you how to use
the BD70 dehumidifier. Please read it
thoroughly before operating the
dehumidifier. If you have any questions
about the unit please contact our
Customer Service Department at the
address shown at the back of this
section or phone [phone].
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the
air circulating through it.
Continuous operation reduces the
relative humidity of the air and this helps
prevent rust, rot, mould, mildew and
condensation within the room, or other
enclo
sed space 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 of the
condensed moisture and a cabinet to
house these components.
GENERAL
Ebac industrial dehumidifiers can be
stored and transported in the horizontal
or vertical position. To operate, stand
the unit upright, connect power and it is
ready for operation.
When a generator is used to supply the
power
, it is essential to check the
minimum kva required in the technical
section within this manual. The
generator must be started before
connection is made to the dehumidifier.

OPERATION
The fan draws moist air through the
refrigerated surface which cools
it below
it’s dew point, removing moisture which
is collected and lead away. The co
ol air
then passes
over the hot condenser,
where it is reheated. With the addition of
the other radiated heat the air is
discharged into the room at a higher
temperature
but a lower relative humidity
than when the air entered the unit.
Continuous circulation of the room air
though the dehumidifier unit gradually
reduces the relative humidity in the
room.
The BD70 Industrial humidifier is a
robust, compact unit designed t
o control
the humidity in the enclosed space in
which it is placed.
The unit is thermally protected an
d will
switch off for a period i
f the maximum
operating temperature of 35°C is
exceeded.
MAINS PLUG WIRING
INFORMATION FOR EBAC
INDUSTRIAL

which is marked with the letters N or
coloured Black. The wire which is
coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L
or coloured Red.

BASIC STEPS
Ensure that all EXTERNAL doors and
windows are CLOSED. Where no doors
or windows are fitted, temporarily screen
off the openings.
POSITIONING
For small areas position centrally in the
area to be dried. For larger areas such
as open plan buildings, offices or
factories, a number of dryers may be
required, in such cases they should be
spaced evenly around the area. Ensure
that no unit is posi
tioned is such a way
that it blows directly into another.
For private houses or flats, position
the
dryer on one floor at a time, starting at
the lowest floo
r, closing all internal doors
on the floor
previously dried. Continue
until all floor levels have been dried.
Note when a particular damp patch is to
be dried out the air outlet grille should be
directed towards that area but should
NEVER be closer than 1m to the
surface. At no time should the inlet or
outlet grilles be covered or obstructed.
DRAINAGE
Under most operating conditions water
will be produced continuously and it is
important that it is drained away correctly
and not allowed to spill. Any spillage will
evaporate and will, therefore, have to be
recycled through the dryer again, which
in effect, only prolongs the drying period.
PORTABLE CONTAINERS
Position a closed top container
underneath the water discharge pipe
(approximately 8 litres capacity). Place
a short length of pipe one end over the
discharge pipe and the other end in the
c
ontainer. Use a transparent container,
this will enable you to check the level of
water and so prevent it from overflowing.
As the unit will be running for long
periods of time, a regular check should
be made on the container water level.
PERMANENT DRAINAGE
Connect a flexible hose to the water
discharge pipe of sufficient length so that
it will reach a permanent drain. The
gravity head created will allow for a
gradual fall from the unit to the drain.
Ensure that the hose is free of kinks and
is not al
lowed to rise at any point above
the level of the discharge point from the
dehumidifier. Any air locks which may
be created, should the level be raised by
the hose passing over obstructions,
could cause the water to “back up” the
hose and spill from the dryer.
SWITCHING ON
Check the voltage selection switch is set
to the correct voltage. (Dual voltage
machines only) Plug the unit into the
power supply and switch on.
SWITCHING OFF
Turn off the power supply and
disconnect.

SPECIAL FEATURES
DEFROST O
PERATION
If the ambient temperature of the
room the dehumidifier is
conditioning, falls below15°C ice
will form on the evaporator coil as
the air passes over it.
Over a period of time this build up
of ice will effect the efficiency of the
dehumidifier on it’s ability to
maintain the required set conditions
within the room.
The BD70 is therefore fitted with a
defrost control device. This defrost
control device is timed to operate
every 55 minutes for a period of 5
minutes.
During the defrost cycle some of
the high pressure hot gas from the
compressor is diverted into the
evaporator coil where it melts the
ice which has formed on the
evaporator coil.
DUAL VOLTAGE MODELS
The BD70 dehumidifier unit is fitted
with a transformer which will allow the
unit to operate on either 110volts or
230volts 1ph 50hz power supply.
This unit is fitted with a 4A manual
reset circuit breaker.
All electrical components within the
dehumidifier are rated for 110volts, for
safety reasons. The Voltage change
over (selector switch) switch, can be
found on the electrical panel at the
rear of the unit (air outlet). Remove
the cover for access.

SERVICE
The machine should be services by
qualified Ebac personnel or other
persons having technical competence
in servicing refrigeration equipment
following the instructions in the Ebac
Service Manual.
SPARES
Full spare parts listings and Ebac
Service Manuals are available upon
request by contacting one of the Ebac
Service Centres listed in this manual.
OZONE FRIENDLY
The gas which is used in the
hermetically sealed refrigeration circuit
is R134a, which is an HFC and
therefore has a zero ozone depletion
factor. However under NO
circumstances should the gas be
released into the atmosphere. The
unit should be serviced by trained
personnel who will re-claim any of the
removed gas.
DISPOSAL OF THE UNIT
At the end of the machines working
life the refrigerant must be disposed of
in the correct manner.

Due to the high pressures within the refrigeration circuit, under
no circumstances must direct heat be applied to the evaporator
coil in an attempt to remove the build-up of ice.
No attempt should be made to cut open any part of the
refrigeration circuit due to high pressures and gas involved.
If the unit is switched off at the mains power supply for any
reason, the unit must be allowed to stand at rest for at least three
minutes before restarting.
