OPERATION
The operation of the dehumidifier is to remove moisture from the air by having it condense on
the cold tubes of the evaporator coil. The air then passes over the hot condenser coil and returns
to the conditioned space slightly warmer and dryer than when it entered the dehumidifier unit.
To concentrate drying all doors and windows should be kept closed.
Test for Correct Operation
WARNING:
DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE COVERS IN
PLACE FOR ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY. DO NOT
REMOVE/REPLACE THE COVERS WITH THE POWER ON.
Remove the cover by releasing the retaining bolts and follow the test procedure laid out below:-
1.
Set the adjustable humidistat to maximum.
2.
Switch the machine to the on position, this will result in the compressor starting to run and
the fan blade starting to rotate.
3.
When the compressor has been running for 20 minutes the coils located above the drain tray
will be evenly coated in frost. (If the ambient temperature is above 25ºC the coils will be
covered in water.
4.
After the machine has been running for approximately 50 minutes the unit will automatically
enter into defrost. The defrost cycle lasts for approximately 3 minutes, this will result in the
frost on the coils melting and dripping into the drainage tray.
5.
After the defrost has finished the machine will return to normal operation.
6.
Ensure the condensate drains away from the machine.
Setting the Adjustable Humidistat
The position of the humidistat depends on the application the CD100 is being used for and the
conditions within the area to be dried. The worse the conditions within the area then the higher
the humidistat should be set (i.e. the machine will run for a longer period of time to ensure all the
moisture is reduced sufficiently). As a rough guide the humidistat wants to be set at
approximately 50% for factories and warehouses, and for basements or de-flooding then the
humidistat should be set to approximately 100%.
