Frequently Asked Questions - EPD200 Ecor Pro

How does the EPD200 dehumidifier work?

The dehumidifier uses a desiccant rotor in a honeycomb pattern that absorbs moisture from the air. A fan draws air through the rotor, where moisture is captured, then a portion of the air is heated to regenerate the rotor and discharge moisture through the wet air outlet.

What is the extraction capacity of the EPD200?

The EPD200 can extract up to 95 liters per day at 32°C and 90% relative humidity, or 74 liters per day at 27°C and 60% RH.

Can I use the unit outdoors?

No, the unit is designed only for indoor use. It can be placed inside or outside the room to be dried, but always protected from weather.

How do I clean the air filter?

The intake filter should be checked regularly. Clean it with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with a mild detergent. Never operate the unit without the filter.

What if the unit doesn't turn on?

Check that the unit is plugged in, the fuse hasn't blown, the remote humidistat switch is in the ON position, and the humidistat (if installed) is set correctly.

How do I reset the overheat protection?

If the overheat protection has tripped, restore normal airflow and press the red button (R) to manually reset.

What maintenance does the desiccant rotor require?

The rotor requires no maintenance under normal conditions. If obstructed by dust, it can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or low-pressure compressed air.

How to use the unit with a remote humidistat?

Connect the humidistat or switch to the 'Remote Humidistat' connector (pins 1 and 3). Set the 'Remote Humidistat' switch to the ON position. The unit will then follow the humidistat's commands.

Airflow is weak, what to do?

Check that the air filter is not clogged, that the air inlets and outlets are clear, that the hoses (if installed) are not blocked, and that the supply voltage is correct.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, it is forbidden to use an extension cord. If necessary, have a power outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

HOW IT WORKS EPD150/EPD150-PRO

• Your EPD Desiccant dehumidifier removes moisture using a continuously rotating moisture absorbing wheel - this 'Desiccant Rotor' is literally a honeycomb of extremely hygroscopic membranes.

A highly efficient yet low noise fan draws air into the unit (Process Air) and forces it through a portion of the absorbent rotor. As the air passes through the rotor, the honeycomb of hygroscopic membranes absorb almost all of the moisture creating an extremely dry air stream.

Most of this air stream is discharged directly through the 'Dry Air Outlet' however, a portion of this air (Regen Air) is separated and directed through a heater bank (Regen Heater) where it's temperature is raised. This air is then channeled back through a section of the rotor. As this air passes back through the membranes, its higher temperature drives-out the previously absorbed moisture and discharges it as warm wet air through the 'Wet Air Out' duct. As the wheel rotates, this process of collecting and discharging moisture is continuous.

HOW IT WORKS WORKS (2)

PATENTED DESICCANT ROTOR

The Desiccant Rotor is the heart of the EPD dehumidifier. It is an array of specially absorbent membranes arranged as a series of corrugations (as shown in the cut-away image) to give a vast surface area making it an extremely efficient. It is encased in a galvanized steel ring and turns on high quality sealed ball bearing units.

- REGEN HEATER BANK

The EPD dehumidifier uses a ceramic PTC type regen heater. PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heaters are based on a semi-conductor that changes resistance as it becomes hotter. The semi-conductor is designed so that it's resistance rises rapidly at a predesignated temperature, thus it maintains this temperature across a wide range of operational conditions.

This characteristic means that the heating element can never over heat to hazardous temperatures, even if the regen airflow is completely blocked.

FAN SYSTEM

The EPD dehumidifier uses a patented "RadiCal" backward curved fan unit, this is a highly effective yet quiet system. It is designed to give a good balance of airflows for both 'Process' and 'Regen' airflows.

POSITIONING

The EPD dehumidifier is designed only for indoor use however, it can be placed inside or outside the room to be dried.

- INTERNAL POSITIONING

When positioning the unit inside the room, place it centrally, ensuring inlet and outlet ducts are clear of obstruction.

If required, ducts can be connected to the outlet and/or inlet to direct the drying to specific areas.

The Wet-Air-Out MUST be ducted outside the room

- EXTERNAL POSITIONING

When positioning the unit outside the room, connect ducting to the outlet to direct the dry air stream into the room to be dried.

Optionally, the inlet may also be ducted to the room to give a re-circulation effect. In this case however, because the unit uses a portion for the inlet air for regeneration, provision must be made in the inlet duct to also draw air form outside the room.

Note:

As the Wet-Air-Out discharge is warm and very humid ensure it is directed where it will have no adverse effect on the immediate environment.

All ducting lengths should be kept to a minimum -longer lengths will reduce performance.

The Wet-Air-Out is warm and very humid, when a duct is attached, condensation may form on the inside of the duct. This duct should slope downwards away may from the unit to prevent any condensation running back into the unit.

OPERATION

Connect the unit to suitable mains supply.
Ensure Remote Humidistat switch is set in the 'OFF' (O) position.
Switch Power switch to the 'ON' (I) position.
The fan will start and the Ammeter reading will rise. The ammeter indicates the current taken by the PTC
heater bank. Its reading will depend on the 'Process' air temperature and the 'Regen' airflow. Typically, it will indicate between 2 and 3 amps (EPD150/EPD150-PRO) or between 4 and 6 amps (EPD200/EPD200-PRO), this will reduce if the airflow is low or the 'Process' air temperature is high.

REMOTE OPERATION

For remote operation it is necessary to connect a switch or humidistat via the 'Remote Humidistat Connector' which can be accessed by removing the dust cap. A connection plug is available on request.

ATTENTION: The remote connector is mains voltage!

The remote switch/humidistat should be connected between pins 1 and 3.

The earth pin is connected to ground and can be used if required (see wiring diagram).

The Remote Humidistat switch should be set to the 'ON' position.

The unit will now operate according to the state of the remote switch.

AIR FILTER

The unit has an inlet air filter, this should be checked periodically and if necessary cleaned. It can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or washed in mild detergent.

ATTENTION:

Do not run the unit without a filter fitted as dust will impair the performance of the Desiccant Rotor.

CONTROLS

The controls are positioned on the front of the unit next to the air outlet, they are:

Power Switch

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION

• Maintenance should only be carried out by qualified personnel
• Unit should be disconnected from mains before removing covers
• If unit has just been running, heater bank may still be hot

DESICCANT ROTOR

The desiccant rotor is maintenance free, however, if it becomes blocked with dust (e.g. if it has been running without inlet air filter) it can be cleaned by vacuum cleaner or low pressure compressed air.

HEATER BANK

The PTC heater bank is maintenance free however, if it becomes blocked with dust (e.g. if it has been running without inlet air filter) it can be cleaned by vacuum cleaner or low pressure compressed air.

OVER-HEAT PROTECTOR

In the event of total airflow loss, the over-heat protector will operate. If this happens it will need to be manually re-set after the airflow is restored. To reset, push the red button (R) down.

DESICCANT ROTOR DRIVE

The desiccant rotor is driven by a geared motor via a toothed belt. The rotation speed is approximately 20 RPH. It can be seen turning during operation through the air outlet duct. If it appears to be slow or sticking, the belt can be re-tensioned using the 4 mounting screws @ "A".

NOTE: Do NOT over-tension the belt. After tensioning it should have movement as shown in the image.
