Information about the device

Description of the device

This device uses the principle of condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms. To do so, the device can be used in continuous operation.

The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet (5), the air filter (7), 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 frost. The dehumidified, cooled air is warmed again and blown out from the air outlet (6). 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. The condensation is fed through a pressure-resistant pipe connection and out of the device at a preinstalled condensation drain hose (4).

The condensed water can be diverted by retrofitting a condensation pump.

For easy operation, the device is fitted with a control panel (2) and for easy transport, it is fitted with a bar handle (1) and wheels (3).

The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room by up to approx. 35% . Because of the heat radiation which is tied up in operation, the room temperature can rise by approx. 1 - 3^
