Protection against freezing and storage
You should be cognizant of two aspects when you sore the Abestorm® SLGR Elite unit. The water
that is trapped inside the unit is responsible for these issues. The water may cause the growth of
mold and other primitive organisms. The same water can also freeze in the unit and cause
unforeseen damage. Therefore, you are well-advised to make sure that most of the water if not all
is removed before you store your unit for a significant duration.
1. You can make use of the button for the pump purge to help you to expel
water from the pump reservoir.
2. You need to pull the hose until it flattens to expunge all the water in it. Lift one end of the hose
over your head while you are draining it on the far end.
3. To stop growth inside the unit, make sure that your spray the unit using a fungicide. Make sure
that the spray you use is approved for use on polyethylene, aluminium and copper surfaces. To
effectively flash:
a. Drain the hose by draining it
b. Insert the unit into the power source but avoid turning it on
c. Drain the hose by running it
d. Pull out the air filter and pour a small amount of the antimicrobial reagent
via the heat exchanger
e. Push the purge switch of the pump to lower the level of water in the reservoir
f. Flush using water
4. In case the dehumidifier will be, left in freezing temperatures, following the purging. You
should pull the filter back and pour a cup of 8oz of an antifreeze reagent with Propylene glycol.
Put it via the heat exchanger. It will stream into the reservoir of the pump. Avoid purging the
solution from the unit.
5. If filters are dirty, they should be replaced if the unit is going to be stored for a long time. This
precaution will prevent microbial from growing on the filter
Technical Description
The unit a system of refrigeration that is similar to an air conditioning system to expunge
excess moisture from the space it is deployed, and to increase the temperature of the air that
is discharged from the system. The compressor releases high-pressure refrigerant gas that is
hot and directs it to the condenser coil. The refrigerant releases its heat to the air that is
consequently released from the system. The refrigerant is cooled and condensed. The liquid
refrigerant is passed through a filter and a tuning which reduces the pressure of the refrigerant.
Next, it is channeled through the evaporator coil where it absorbs heat from the air streaming
in and changes into vapour. The evaporator works in flooding conditions. The implication is
that the evaporator tubes contain the refrigerant in liquid form when operating normally. Thus,
if an evaporator is flooded, it should keep constant temperature and pressure across the coil
right from the inlet to where it releases. The gas and liquid refrigerant mix go into the
compressor after it leaves the evaporator coil. Finally, the compressor forces the cool
refrigerant gas out and compresses it to high temperature and pressure yet again. The cycle
continues.
