CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate drip tray in the dehumidification unit collects the water removed by the dehumidification
process, It is therefore necessary to ensure that the dehumidification unit is placed on a level plinth so that
the condensate can run away and not overflow the edges of the drip tray inside the machine. The drain pipe
should run away with adequate fall to waste and must incorporate a 'U' trap.
BOILER PLUMBING
Suitable breakable couplings, isolation, and drain down valves should be Installed in the boiler water flow
and return pipes local to the dehumidification unit. Refer to the boiler manufacturer’s instructions before
designing the pipework system.
IMPORTANT GENERAL CONDITIONS
1)
Do not route water pipes across service access panels or air inlet/outlets.
2)
The water circuits to and from the dehumidification unit should be capable of maintaining the
specified water flow limits required by the machine.
3)
All pipework must be adequately supported with allowance for expansion and contraction especially
with regard to the plastic pipework.
4)
It is recommended that when installing water systems, the last connections to be made should be
adjacent to the dehumidification unit to avoid undue stresses on the unit connections.
