Description of the device

This device uses the principle of condensation to

automatically dehumidify rooms.

The fan sucks damp room air through the rear air

inlet (7), via the air filter (6) and the side air inlets (4),

the evaporator and the condenser located behind it.

The air is cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below

the dew point. Water vapour contained in the room air

precipitates on the evaporator fins as either

condensation or frost. The dehumidified, cooled air is

rewarmed at the condenser and blown out at a

temperature of approx. 5 °C above room temperature.

The drier air which is prepared in this way mixes with

the air in the room. The humidity in the room where

the device is positioned is reduced as air constantly

circulates through the device. Depending on the air

temperature and the relative humidity, the condensed

water either drops continuously or only during the

defrost phase into the condensation tray and through

the integrated drain nozzle into the condensation

tank (3) below. This is fitted with a float to measure

the fill level.

The device has a control panel (2) for operating and

controlling the functions. Once the maximum fill level

of the condensation tank (3) is reached, the

condensation tank indicator light ("FULL") on the

control panel (2) flashes orange. The device switches

off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes

out again once the emptied condensation tank (3) is

reinserted. The condensed water can be diverted by

attaching a hose at the condensation plug (8). The

device can reduce the relative humidity of a room by

up to approx. 50 %. It provides additional assistance

for drying wet washing or clothing in living or working

spaces. Because of the heat radiation which is tied up

in operation, the room temperature can rise by

approx. 1-4 °C.

Notes regarding the dehumidifying capacity

The dehumidifying capacity depends on:

• the spatial composition of the room

• the room temperature

• the relative humidity

The higher the room temperature and relative

humidity, the higher the dehumidifying capacity.

For using in living rooms, a relative humidity of

approx. 50-60 % is sufficient. In store rooms and

archives, the humidity should not exceed approx.

50 %.
