Information about the device
Description of the device
The device TTK 96 E / TTK 127 E uses the principle of
condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter,
the evaporator and to 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 rime. The
dehumidified, cooled air is slightly warmed and blown out again.
The drier air thus conditioned 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 through the integrated drain nozzle into the
condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the
filling level.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the
functions.
Once the maximum fill level of the condensation tank is
reached, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter
Operating elements) on the control panel is illuminated. The
device switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only
goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is
reinserted.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a
hose (Ø = 14mm) at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.
35%.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may rise slightly.
