About the Heating Elements:
Introduction:
Drymatic Boost Bar is an adaptable heat drying system designed to reduce drying times. The machine is placed in front of an
air mover to heat airflow in a drying environment and can also be used with Drymatic Wall & Floor Systems to effectively
target dry specific areas of water damage. The addition of controlled heat increases drying performance on a water damage
project; it also helps to enhance the performance of conventional drying equipment, such as refrigerant dehumidifiers, where
temperatures are often below optimum operating conditions.
How it works:
Raising the temperature of water damaged materials increases their vapor pressure and increases the potential for
evaporation, resulting in more efficient drying. The DBK Drymatic Boost Bar has an intelligent control system that regulates its
output to ensure that the temperature stays below the specified limit by varying the power of the heating device.
The Drymatic Boost Bar, when combined with a Drymatic Wall & Floor Accessory System or Drymatic Boost Bar Attachments,
becomes an extremely effective target drying solution. Target drying focuses the heat energy on a specific area of water
damage, allowing the technician to remain in full control over what materials are dried and to what temperatures they are
exposed. In many cases a restoration project will include a variety of different materials that need to be dried in different
ways. Target drying enables the controlled application of heat and airflow, which results in vastly improved drying times.
Features:
•
Adds up to 1.4kW (4,780 BTUs) of heat energy into the room to reduce drying time.
•
Three intelligently controlled self
-
regulating PTC heater banks that raise room temperature up to a maximum of
122°F (50°C).
•
Touch screen controller which displays incoming and outgoing temperature, kWh and hours run.
•
Airflow detection and power regulation to ensure safe operation whilst adding maximum power
-
UL Approved.
•
Bi
-
directional design can be operated with any standard styled air mover.
•
Allows users to attach a huge range of Drymatic Wall and Floor System mats and accessories to quickly and
efficiently dry small areas.
•
Compact, lightweight and rugged construction which is stackable for easy transportation and storage.
•
Fixed power cord with built in cord wrap for plug in and go operation.
Drymatic Boost Bar uses PTC heating elements to provide efficient and controllable heat. These
elements self
-
regulate their power output depending on the volume of airflow passed over them
and also the elements operating temperature. This means that if airflow is restricted, the heater
will continue to function but with reduced power; protecting both the Boost Bar and the material
being targeted. In the event that airflow is completely lost the system will shut the elements down.
The 6 elements you see through the grill are divided into 3 banks of elements which the software
ramps up and down in order to 1) Gradually increase the heat and 2) Control the temperature of
the room.
The elements are electrically insulated and safe to use in humid/dusty conditions, however they
can get hot and should never be touched. If the display is showing all three banks running but the
power output is less than expected check for any restrictions in airflow or move the air mover
closer to ensure that full power can be reached.
WARNING!
-
NEVER TRY TO REACH THROUGH THE GRILLS OR TOUCH THE ELEMENTS
