Information about the device

Description of the device

The device operates on the desiccant principle, without

compressor or cooling agent.

The fully automatic control and the condensation tank(6) with

integrated overflow protection ensure fault-free operation.

The fan sucks in damp room air via the air inlet(4) with air

filter(7), the condenser and the desiccant wheel located behind

it.

Within the internal regeneration circuit the air is led via a

heating element, it dries the desiccant wheel and leads the

moist, warm air through the condenser. At the cooler

condenser, heat is withdrawn from the room air and cooled

below dew point. The water vapour contained in the room air

precipitates in form of condensate. The condensate drops into

the condensation tank(6).

The drier air, thus conditioned, is fed back to the room air via

the air outlet(2). The drier air mixes with the air in the room.

The relative humidity in the room where the device is positioned

is reduced by the constant circulation of the room air.

A float is attached inside the condensation tank(6), which in

case of a filled condensation tank interrupts the

dehumidification. When switching off, the device emits a triple

acoustic signal and the condensation tank indicator light on the

control panel(1) is illuminated (see chapter Operating

elements). The indicator light only goes out again once the

emptied condensation tank(6) is reinserted.

The device was designed to reduce the humidity level in living

and working spaces.
