7 Product description

The adsorption-dehumidifier controls the air humidity in the room. The moist room air (also called ‘process air’) is drawn into the process air inlet and led through a turning rotor. The rotor features a metal silicate coating which serves to absorb the moisture from the process air.

The moisture absorbed by the rotor is driven out again by a heated air current, the so-called regeneration air.

A built-in, self-regulating heating element heats the regeneration air.

The moist, warm air current exits the unit at the regeneration outlet and must be directed out of the room by an exhaust hose or air duct.

The dry air is emitted into the room through the dry air outlet.

The ASE 400 can be used to dehumidify and ventilate or only to ventilate a room.

8 Safety

Intended use and conditions of use

The ASE series adsorption-dehumidifier is used to remove humidity from air where there is atmospheric pressure in closed indoor rooms, such as basements, garages or warehouses. The ASE 400 can also be used as a fan without dehumidifying.

The ASE 200/300 can be used in combination with a side channel blower or a noise box.

The adsorption-dehumidifier must only be used in compliance with the Technical Data (see last page).

During operation, the adsorption-dehumidifier creates negative pressure in the room, drawing in air, particles, smoke and gas from the outside or from adjacent rooms, which may present a hazard. The unit may only be operated in rooms in which it is easily possible to draw in air and in which no gas, smoke or similar and no objects such as paper may be drawn in and in which operation of the unit does not negatively impact chimneys, ovens or other equipment. Prior to using the adsorption-dehumidifier, take stock of these situations and

implement appropriate preventative measures such as switching off devices or sealing off dangerous rooms.

Persons with physical, sensory or mental restrictions and children are not permitted to use the adsorption-dehumidifier.

Every user must have read and understood the operating instructions.

Foreseeable misuse

The adsorption-dehumidifier must not be used:

• In environments in which particles, gas, smoke or similar could be drawn in by the negative pressure created, negatively impacting chimneys, ovens or other similar equipment.
• In rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres.
• In rooms with an aggressive atmosphere (e.g. caused by chemicals).
• In rooms with water with a pH value below 7.0 or above 7.4.
• In rooms with salt or liquids with a salt content > 1 %, e.g. brine baths.
• In moist areas of indoor swimming pools.
• In rooms with ozone-treated air, high solvent concentrations or high dust pollution.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the hoses (optional accessory) are removed from the regeneration air outlet and the dry air outlet and that the power cable is disconnected from the unit.
2. Make sure that no particles or smoke, gas or similar may be drawn in and that the negative pressure created does not have a negative impact on safety or on the unit.
3. Transport the adsorption-dehumidifier to the place of use.

ATTENTION! Damage to the device!

During operation, suction is created at the process air inlet. This suction may draw in paper or other light objects. When the process air inlet is covered, the unit may be damaged.

Make sure that no objects may be drawn in.
The air must circulate freely. Do not cover the air openings.

ASE 400: Connecting the external control system

If required, the ASE 400 may be controlled externally. The external control system must be suitable for at least 10 A.

Procedure

1. Connect the external control system to the port for the external control system.

2. Follow the operating instructions for the external control system.

Connecting the hoses/air ducts

In order to operate properly, a hose or air duct must be used to drive the regeneration air out of the room (e.g.

through a window). To do this, a suitable hose/air duct must be connected to the regeneration air outlet.

If required, a hose can be used to guide the dry air to the place of use. To do this, connect a suitable hose to the dry air outlet.

ATTENTION! Inadequate appliance output!

Do not bend the hose.
Do not place any objects on the hose.

Procedure for regeneration air

1. Connect hose/air duct (DN 80 mm) to the regeneration air outlet and secure with a clamp, for example.

ASE 200/300: Regeneration air outlet on the front

ASE 400: Regeneration air outlet on the back.

1. Lay the hose/air duct so the regeneration air is directed out of the room. Make sure that the hose slopes away from the adsorption-dehumidifier so that no condensate can get into the unit.

If it is not possible to create a slope, bend the hose/air duct down slightly. Drill a hole (D=4 mm) at the lowest point of the bend so the condensate can drain.

Procedure for dry air

1. ASE 200/300 only: The dry air outlet is on the back. The connection plate can be turned, depending on the type of hose (ASE 200: 2 x DN 50 mm or 1 x DN 80 mm

ASE 300: 2 x DN 50 mm or 1 x DN

100 mm).

To do this, undo the screws (1) and align the desired opening so it is in front of the grille. Secure the connection plate using the screws.
